I’m trying to find a deal on a 15 pro and don’t want to get one with cell plan contract deal. I’m aware that the 16 series comes out soon in September. I’ve been trying to hold off until then. Is Apple waiting until the 16 is released to sell the 15 series in the refurbished store? Is it worth it to wait for this refurbished deal? How much cheaper would it be compared to now new price? I’ll have to see what the 16 pro features are, but I’m assuming I would be content with the cheaper refurbished 15 pro.

I used an iPhone 14 Pro and lost it yesterday. I don't have the budget to spend the same amount on a new phone, and I also don't want to downgrade to a cheaper phone. I have been using iPhones since the 4s, so I know what the iPhone experience is like (both software and hardware). This phone's appearance seems alright to me, but:

• MagSafe seems to be not working, its charging magnet is not working.

• Back glass glass seem to be not aligned properly and can see glue in some part if looked properly. (I'm ok if the back of the phone is not legit) but do I verify other parts.

• The phone seems to have been first used in October 2023, but the battery is at 100% with only 1 battery cycle.

• When I turned it on for the first time, it didn't ask me to connect with my Apple ID, and there is already an Apple ID logged in.

• The phone color is Blue Titanium, but the SIM tray doesn't seem to be the exact same color as the rest of the body; it's darker or black.

There is 15 days return policy from Amazon so I can return, bought it because of this so no risk. I already booked an appointment at Apple to verify but next available appointment is on 20th only.
