Apple Reintroduces iPhone 15 Pro Models at Lower Prices

Apple has surprised customers by re-releasing the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max on its refurbished store earlier than expected, offering discounts of up to 15%.

Availability and Pricing

The refurbished models are currently available in select European countries, including Spain, Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland.

For example, on the Spanish Apple site:

• The iPhone 15 Pro (128GB, titanium black) is priced at €949, saving €170.
• The 256GB and 512GB models are also discounted, with savings of up to €230.

However, these deals are not yet available in the U.S. or U.K., though a release in these regions could follow soon.

Why the Early Return?

Apple typically reintroduces Pro models later in the year, but this move comes earlier than usual, likely due to:

• EU USB-C Legislation: Phones without USB-C ports, like the iPhone 14 and SE, were recently removed from sale in the EU, creating a gap in Apple’s refurbished offerings.
• Apple Intelligence Rollout: The iPhone 15 Pro models support upcoming Apple Intelligence features, expected to launch in Europe this spring.

What This Means for Customers

This re-release offers European buyers a chance to purchase the premium iPhone 15 Pro models at reduced prices.

With Apple’s refurbished products offering the same warranty as new devices, it’s an attractive option for those seeking high-end features at a discount.

Customers in other regions should keep an eye on Apple’s refurbished store for potential availability in the coming months.
