Refurbished iPhone 13 Series

Buy a Refurbished iPhone 13 in Australia

The iPhone 13 is the generation that still does everything most people need from a phone. It runs the current version of iOS, takes the same Cinematic mode video it launched with, holds a full day on a charge and has the Ceramic Shield front and IP68 rating that make a phone survive real life. What has changed since 2021 is the price, and that is the whole argument for buying one refurbished rather than new.

Every refurbished iPhone at Phonebot is function tested, graded on its cosmetic condition and listed with its battery health, so you know exactly what arrives before it arrives. Each one is sold unlocked, covered by up to 12 months warranty and shipped free across Australia.

Where to Buy a Refurbished iPhone 13 in Australia

Apple's Australian store does not sell refurbished iPhones, so a refurbished iPhone 13 comes from a specialist rather than from Apple. At Phonebot every iPhone 13 is inspected, function-tested, and data wiped before listing, graded for cosmetic condition, sold unlocked for Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, and covered by up to 12 months warranty with a 30-day change of mind return and free delivery Australia-wide. The grid on this page shows every iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max unit we hold right now, with its grade and battery health.

Refurbished iPhone 13

The standard iPhone 13 is the one to buy if you want the generation's strengths without paying for the camera system. A 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, the A15 Bionic chip that still runs everything in the App Store, and dual 12MP cameras with Night mode, Cinematic mode and Photographic Styles. Battery runs to around 19 hours of video playback, which is a full day for most people and a noticeable step up from the iPhone 12 before it. Face ID, MagSafe and 5G are all here. For most buyers this is the sensible pick of the four.

Refurbished iPhone 13 Mini

At 5.4 inches the Mini is the smallest modern iPhone Apple made, and the last of its kind, since the line ended with this generation. That makes it the only current-feeling iPhone that works one-handed and genuinely disappears into a pocket. Inside it is the same A15 Bionic and the same dual 12MP cameras as the standard 13, so you give up screen and some battery, around 17 hours of video, but nothing in performance or photography. If a big phone has always annoyed you, this is the one to look at, and there will not be another. If you are weighing it against the standard model, our iPhone 13 Mini vs iPhone 13 comparison sets them side by side.

Refurbished iPhone 13 Pro

The Pro adds the two things the standard 13 does not have: a 120Hz ProMotion display, which you feel every time you scroll, and a third camera. The triple 12MP system brings a 3x telephoto and a LiDAR scanner for faster low-light focus, plus ProRAW for photos and ProRes for video if you edit afterwards. Battery goes to roughly 22 hours of video. The frame is stainless steel rather than aluminium, which is heavier but holds up better. Buy this one if you shoot a lot or if a smooth display is something you notice. Our guide to whether the iPhone 13 Pro is still worth buying in 2026 goes through it in detail.

Refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max

Everything the 13 Pro has, on a 6.7-inch display, with the best battery Apple has ever put in this generation: around 28 hours of video playback. That figure is why the Pro Max still gets recommended five years on, and it is the single strongest reason to choose it over the Pro. The same 120Hz ProMotion display, the same triple 12MP cameras with LiDAR, ProRAW and ProRes. If you want a phone you charge every second night rather than every night, this is it.
