Is the iPhone 16 Pro still worth buying?

The refurbished iPhone 16 Pro is still a strong buy. Apple's A18 Pro chip, a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR ProMotion display with adaptive 120Hz, a 48MP triple camera with 5x optical zoom, full Apple Intelligence support, and ProRes 4K at up to 120fps give it real staying power. You can get one starting at $672 versus $999 new — same hardware, better price.

What is the difference between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max share the same A18 Pro chip, 48MP triple camera system, and Apple Intelligence. The differences come down to size, battery, and starting storage: Display: 6.3 inches (16 Pro) vs. 6.9 inches (16 Pro Max) Battery life: up to 27 hours video playback (16 Pro) vs. up to 33 hours (16 Pro Max) Starting storage: 128GB (16 Pro) vs. 256GB (16 Pro Max); both go up to 1TB Both are available refurbished on Back Market, unlocked. Need help deciding? See our guide on which iPhone is best suited for you.

What does "Fair condition" mean for a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro?

Fair condition means light cosmetic wear: the body shows some signs of use, but the screen is flawless, parts are verified, and the battery is suitable for daily use. Every refurbished iPhone 16 Pro goes through an up to 100-point professional inspection covering battery health, cameras, biometrics, and ports. Fair isn't damaged; it's a phone that just has a past. Curious about how long a refurbished phone lasts? It holds up.

Does the iPhone 16 Pro have Apple Intelligence?

Yes, the iPhone 16 Pro fully supports Apple Intelligence. It's powered by the A18 Pro chip, whose 16-core Neural Engine is optimized to handle Apple Intelligence's on-device processing. Features include Writing Tools, Image Playground, Priority Notifications, a smarter Siri with on-screen awareness, and ChatGPT integration. A refurbished unit runs the same software as a new one — no features missing, no compromises. Want to know more about the features ? Our experts have prepared a full review on the iPhone 16 series to help you out.

How good is the camera on the iPhone 16 Pro?

The iPhone 16 Pro camera system is genuinely hard to fault. Here's what's included: 48MP Fusion (f/1.78) + 48MP Ultra Wide + 12MP 5x Telephoto with tetraprism design 5x optical zoom, up to 25x digital zoom Dedicated Camera Control button for instant hardware access ProRes video and 4K Dolby Vision at up to 120fps LiDAR Scanner, macro photography, and spatial video at 1080p/30fps See our guide to the best iPhone for photos for the full comparison.

I was initially hesitant about buying a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro (512GB), after seeing mixed reviews online, then i figured buying a new one might be better. However, I decided to go with Back Market’s 'Premium' tier, and honestly I am blown away! The phone arrived in literal 'like-new' condition, zero battery cycles and 100% battery health!! Thank you BackMarket for the honest service and for exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Backmarket if you're looking for quality without the brand-new price tag

This was my third purchase from another seller on this site, and even though there was a small shipping delay, the phone was absolutely worth the wait. I picked up an iPhone 16 Pro (256GB) in Desert Titanium in 'Excellent' condition, and I am still in shock—it is basically a brand-new device. The previous owner must have just bought it because it only has 6 battery cycles, 100% health, and a full Apple warranty through December 2026! It even triggered the official Apple offers for 3 months of Apple Music and Arcade. Despite the delay, the quality is unbelievable. This platform has been 3-for-3 for me!

The phone is great overall. It arrived in great physical condition, with just 11 battery cycles ( the lesser the battery cycles, the better ). I got the phone for about $400 less than the original price, which I feel is a good deal, considering the fact that the phone was launched just 15 months ago. Initially I had a problem with the power button not being responsive sometimes, but maybe that was a software issue. I updated the phone to the latest software and there are no more problems. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. 1 - Great Physical Condition ( no scratches, dents, cracks etc). 2 - Good Battery Condition. 3 - Good Price.

This was the second phone I’ve bought from Backmarket and I was extremely pleased with this phone. We bought the “good” condition phone and upon arrival I would personally have described it as excellent condition with no scratches on the screen and only faint surface imperfections on the body. Overall highly recommend this site for refurbished electronics.

I was under the impression the battery would be new or almost new, it was charged over 521 times. If I were to buy the exact phone from apple refurbished they change the outside body and battery. The price difference is very small when you compare to Apple. Just saying be careful with how much you pay on here. Also trade in is not what it seems as well. Disappointed in that. Again got a better trade in with Apple then the vendor.

The iPhone 16 Pro is Apple’s latest entry in the Pro lineup, released in September 2024. While it builds on the foundation of the 15 Pro, it brings some refined updates—think smaller bezels, a brighter display, and the debut of Apple’s A18 Pro chip. Nearly a year old by 2025, the iPhone 16 Pro still keeps pace with most flagship devices, blending subtle hardware upgrades with iOS polish.

Key features:

Release Date: September 2024
Display: 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, up to 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate
Processor: Apple A18 Pro chip built on a 3nm process
Camera: Triple rear cameras: 48MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, 12MP 5x telephoto
Build: Textured matte glass back and titanium frame
Operating System: Ships with iOS 18
Connectivity: 5G support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband (UWB)
Other: IP68 water and dust resistance, USB-C port

Who is this for?

The iPhone 16 Pro is aimed at power users, mobile photographers, and anyone who wants pro-level features in a reasonably sized device. If you want a pocket-friendly iPhone that balances performance and camera flexibility, this model has you covered. Compared to the standard iPhone 16, the Pro brings a more advanced camera system, a faster chip, and a premium build. If you’re after the absolute largest screen, the Pro Max offers more real estate, but the 16 Pro is a sweet spot for many.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Top-tier performance with the A18 Pro chip for demanding apps and multitasking. Incremental updates compared to iPhone 15 Pro—nothing wild on the innovation front. Versatile camera system with high-res zoom and ultra-wide options. Heavier titanium build—sturdy, but not the lightest in your pocket. IP68 rating for robust water and dust resistance. No major design overhaul since the iPhone 15 Pro—still familiar territory. USB-C port finally replaces Lightning for charging and data transfer. iOS ecosystem “stickiness”—great if you’re all-in on Apple, less ideal if you’re considering a switch.
Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro keeps e-waste in check and gives top-tier tech a second life—doing more with what already exists. Every pre-owned device at Back Market goes through thorough inspection and testing to ensure reliability, so you won’t be left guessing about quality. Learn more about our quality standards.
