Our tech writer Christopher Harper shares why you don’t need to spend big on a brand new phone by picking a refurbished iPhone deal
Apple iPhone prices can seem expensive especially if you don’t want to be caught in a lengthy monthly contract and paying for a long period, with no wriggle room. Well, there are ways that you can get a great Apple iPhone without needing to pay over the odds, as we uncover in our latest Top Tech edition.
One of the best ways you can get a cheaper flagship phone is by buying a refurbished model. Refurbished phones can be a win-win situation for all by reducing your e-waste but also getting a cheaper price for some of the best phones on the market.
Well, if you have been on the lookout for a good iPhone 14 Pro price, we highly recommend this giffgaff refurbished deal on the iPhone 14 Pro. You can get the phone for less than £500 which is worth considering if you want a great phone – which still performs well to this day.

The giffgaff phone is a refurbished model, but for those concerned about purchasing such devices, all of their phones come with a 24-month warranty for peace of mind. In addition, giffgaff assures that each device has undergone a rigorous 30-point health check and guarantees at least 80% battery health on the iPhones it sells. The cost of the SIM plan will remain unchanged in 2024.
And it was one of our best phones that our sister site The Express tried back in 2022. Tech guru David Snelling lauded the phone for its “fabulous new always-on screen that never stops glowing, interactive camera notch dubbed the Dynamic Island that magically adapts depending on what’s running in the background, and a more powerful A16 processor that takes performance to a whole new level.”
He further commented: “This is another blockbuster update to the iPhone Pro series and, for the first time in years, it’s now easier than ever to recommend spending the extra cash as the standard iPhone 14 lacks all of these barnstorming updates.” However, one of the issues at the time was the hefty price tag – but the great news is this deal from giffgaff eliminates that problem.
But if you want to look for something different, Sky offers some of the most competitive prices for Apple’s top-tier products, although these are tied to lengthy 36-month contracts. Sky is offering the iPhone 16 Pro from just £33 a month, excluding the airtime plan. More deals can be found in our compilation of the best iPhone 16 Pro deals.
