iPhone Deals Australia: Save Big at Phonebot

Phonebot lists refurbished iPhones from A$79, across every generation from the current Pro models down to the older handsets that still do everything most people need. Each one is function-tested, graded for cosmetic condition and sold unlocked, and the cards above carry the live price for every individual unit.

What makes a deal here is not a countdown. It is that an iPhone holds its usefulness far longer than it holds its price, so a phone a generation or two back costs a fraction of what it did new while doing almost the same job.

iPhone Deals by Generation

iPhone 18

Refurbished stock follows trade-ins rather than release dates, so the newest generation always reaches the second-hand market last. We do not hold refurbished iPhone 18 units yet, and our refurbished iPhone 18 page lists them as they arrive. If you want the newest Apple hardware today, buying new is the only route; if you want the best value, look a generation or two back.

iPhone 17

The 17 is the newest generation we hold, in the standard, Pro and Pro Max versions, though not on this deals grid. It is the right pick if you want current hardware with a refurbished price and a warranty behind it, and the refurbished iPhone 17 range shows what is in stock.

iPhone 16

The 16 brought the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence and the Camera Control button. For everyday use the gap between it and the 17 is small, and the gap in price is not, which is why it is the sensible stopping point for most buyers who want something recent. Our iPhone 16 deals cover the standard, Plus and Pro.

iPhone 15

The 15 is where USB-C arrived, along with Dynamic Island on the standard model for the first time. It sits roughly midway between the 13 and the 16 on price and gives you the two changes people actually notice day to day. The iPhone 15 deals page covers all four models.

iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Max

The 14 Pro Max is the deepest line on this grid and one of the better value propositions we stock: it introduced the Dynamic Island, the 48MP main camera and the always-on display, and it has fallen further from its launch price than almost anything else here. The standard 14 and 14 Plus share the A15 Bionic with the 13, so the difference between those two generations is mostly camera and battery. See the iPhone 14 sale for the full range.

iPhone 13

Five years on, the 13 still runs the current version of iOS, still shoots Cinematic mode video and still holds a full day on a charge. It has the Ceramic Shield front, the IP68 rating and the A15 Bionic chip that has not yet been outgrown by the software. The iPhone 13 sale collects whatever is currently reduced.

Budget iPhone Deals

The cheapest units on this page are not compromises so much as older phones. They are tested to the same standard as everything else, and for a first phone, a backup, or a child's first handset they do the job.

• iPhone SE is the deepest budget line we hold. Modern chip, familiar design, Touch ID rather than Face ID, and the lowest entry price of any current-generation chip in the range.
• iPhone 12 was the first 5G iPhone and the first with an OLED display on the standard model. It is the cheapest way into 5G here.
• iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max bring a triple camera and the Pro build for less than most standard models of newer generations.
• iPhone XR, XS, 8 and 7 sit at the bottom of the range. Older, still functional, still tested, and the cheapest way to own an iPhone at all.

Which iPhone Suits You?

• Power users and creators. The Pro models of any recent generation, for the 120Hz ProMotion display and the telephoto camera. A Pro one generation back usually beats a standard model of the current one.
• Everyday users. The standard 15 or 16. Both give you a modern camera, a full day of battery and several years of iOS support ahead.
• Budget buyers. The 13 or the 12. Both still receive iOS updates and both do everything a phone needs to do.
• First-time iPhone users. The SE or the 12. The lowest outlay into Apple's ecosystem without buying something that will need replacing next year.

Why Buy From Phonebot

• Up to 12 months warranty, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, with a paid extension to 24 months available.
• 30-day change of mind return on every order.

• Sold unlocked for Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and the providers that run on their networks.

Grades describe appearance only and never function, so a lower grade is the cheapest way to bring the price down on any model here. Our refurbished phone grading guide explains what each level looks like in the hand.

Every phone is sold outright rather than on a plan, so you own it from the first day. If you would rather spread the cost, buy now pay later through Afterpay or Zip is available at checkout.

Storage Options

• 64GB and 128GB. Enough for everyday apps, messages and photos if your library lives in iCloud.
• 256GB. The sensible middle, and the right choice if you shoot video or keep photos on the device.
• 512GB and above. For people who do not want to think about storage again for the life of the phone.

Storage usually moves the price more than cosmetic grade does, so it is worth deciding what you actually need before comparing models across the refurbished iPhones range.
