Is a refurbished iPhone 12 still a good deal?

Every year, Apple releases a new iPhone and this year we got to see yet another underwhelming release of the iPhone 16. Since the iPhone 12 is just four generations old and you can find it for under $300, it's still an incredibly good phone at a very manageable price.

The iPhone 12 is actually regarded as one of the better model successors in the iPhone lineup. Apple made several improvements over the iPhone 11, including the design, an OLED screen instead of LED, 5G vs 4G connectivity, and the introduction of MagSafe charging technology.

If you're unsure if you should buy the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13, check out our iPhone 12 vs 13 comparison tool.

Bottom line - the iPhone 12 is still a very capable phone among newer models on the market today and it is absolutely worth finding a great deal on one this Black Friday, especially if you're upgrading from an iPhone 11 or earlier model.

What's the better deal: iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro?

So you've found discounts this Black Friday for both the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max, but you're still not sure which to buy. Well, it's no secret that if you need to spend the least amount of money, you'll want to get the lesser model. Right now, the lowest price for an unlocked iPhone 12 is $242, while the Pro series starts at $334.

If you ask us, it's much more worth it to spend the extra $92 for the iPhone 12 Pro, especially if you need more performance power and an upgraded camera. The Pro and Pro Max series are also designed with a more durable steel casing over the aluminum casing found on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

You'll save you up to 27% shopping on Back Market compared to the lowest cost of similar phones found on popular retail sites, as we pointed out earlier in the article, so you know you'll be getting a great deal this Holiday season either way.
