Cheapest iPhone 17 Units in Stock This Week

This page lists the lowest-priced refurbished iPhone 17 units we have right now, cheapest first, starting from A$1,529. Every unit is 72-point tested with battery health verified at 85% or higher, ships unlocked, and carries a 12-month warranty with 30-day returns. A brand-new iPhone 17 costs A$1,399 at Apple, so buying refurbished is the difference between paying full retail and paying what the phone is actually worth today.

How We Get the Price Down: Grades Explained

The cheapest units on this page are not lesser phones. They are the same hardware with more cosmetic wear, which is the only thing a condition grade measures. Every grade passes the same testing and carries the same warranty.

  • Grade B: visible marks on the frame or back glass. The deepest discount we offer, and invisible once the phone is in a case.
  • Open Box: unused stock where the packaging has been opened. Typically 10 to 15 percent below retail with no signs of use.
  • Grade A: light marks you have to look for, the middle option.
  • Like New: no visible marks, priced closest to new.

The practical lesson: if you want the most phone for the least money, buy the highest model in Grade B rather than the lowest model in Like New. A Grade B Pro Max is the cheapest route to a Pro Max, and it performs identically to the Like New one beside it.

iPhone 17e: the cheapest way into the series

The iPhone 17e is the lowest entry price in the iPhone 17 family, from A$949. Launched in March 2026 to replace the iPhone 16e, it runs the same A19 chip as the rest of the lineup on a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display protected by Ceramic Shield 2.

  • A19 chip with full Apple Intelligence support at an entry-level price.
  • 48MP Fusion camera with 2x optical-quality zoom plus a 12MP front camera.
  • MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging, with 256GB base storage as standard.
  • Rated up to 26 hours of video playback.

iPhone Air: the cheapest big screen

From A$1,049, the iPhone Air is the slimmest device Apple has produced at 5.6mm, with a 6.6-inch display and the A19 chip. If you want a large screen for the least money, this is the model, and it costs well under the Pro tier while sharing the same processor.

iPhone 17: the cheapest 120Hz base model

From A$1,249, the standard iPhone 17 brings ProMotion to the base model for the first time.

  • A19 chip: handles everything from 4K video editing to intensive gaming.
  • 120Hz ProMotion display, previously a Pro-only feature.
  • Action Button, customisable for your most-used functions.
  • USB-C connectivity and the latest iOS with Apple Intelligence.

iPhone 17 Pro: the cheapest Pro camera system

From A$1,529, the 17 Pro is the lowest-priced way to get Apple's professional camera tools.

  • 12GB RAM for Apple Intelligence multitasking.
  • Triple 48MP camera system with 4x optical telephoto.
  • ProRes video recording and Apple Log 2 for cinema-quality footage.
  • Always-On ProMotion display at 120Hz.

iPhone 17 Pro Max: cheapest in Grade B

Finding a cheap iPhone 17 Pro Max comes down to grade. Our lowest-priced Pro Max units start from A$1,599 in Grade B, several hundred dollars below the Like New equivalent for identical performance.

  • The largest iPhone display, 6.9 inches of ProMotion OLED.
  • 48MP Pro Fusion camera with an 8x optical zoom range.
  • The longest battery in the range, rated up to 33 hours of video playback.
  • Storage up to 1TB for professionals and power users.

Why Our iPhone 17 Prices Are Lower

Simple economics. The first owner absorbs the steepest depreciation, condition grades price cosmetic wear rather than performance, and we source through channels that keep quality consistent. You get the same A19 chip, the same cameras and the same iOS experience as a new phone, at a price that reflects a few months of age rather than Apple's launch markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest iPhone 17 at Phonebot right now?

The iPhone 17e from A$949 is the lowest-priced model in the series, followed by the iPhone Air from A$1,049. Both run the same A19 chip as the standard iPhone 17. The grid above lists every unit cheapest first, so the current floor is always at the top.


Is a Grade B iPhone 17 Pro Max worth it?

Yes, if you use a case. Grade B describes visible marks on the frame or back glass only. The display, cameras, chip and battery meet the same standard as every other grade, and the warranty is identical, so a Grade B Pro Max gives you flagship hardware for several hundred dollars less than a Like New one.


What is the difference between Grade B and Open Box?

Grade B units have been used and show visible wear, which is why they carry the deepest discount. Open Box units are unused stock where the packaging has been opened, so they look new and sit a little higher in price. Both pass the same 72-point test and carry the same 12-month warranty.


Does a cheaper grade mean a worse battery?

No. Every unit we list has verified battery health of 85% or higher regardless of grade, and the exact figure is shown on each listing. Grade affects appearance only.


Are cheap refurbished iPhone 17s unlocked?

Yes. Every unit ships factory unlocked and works with Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and all Australian MVNOs, including prepaid plans.


How much cheaper is a refurbished iPhone 17 than a new one?

A new iPhone 17 is A$1,399 at Apple. Refurbished prices on this page start from A$949, and the saving grows on the Pro models, where the gap between a Grade B unit and the new retail price is at its widest.


Do cheap iPhone 17s still come with a warranty?

Yes. Every device, including the lowest-priced Grade B units, includes a 12-month warranty, 30-day change-of-mind returns and free delivery Australia-wide.
