If you want the best possible value for money when buying a new iPhone, one of the simplest ways to own an iPhone outright and get it for a great price is to buy it refurbished (AKA reconditioned).

Choose a carrier: If you choose a carrier through Apple.com, you will get an unlocked iPhone, no matter which carrier you choose (except if you purchase with AT&T on an installment plan).

Real scenario application: A commuter needing a larger screen should buy the iPhone 16 Plus now at 18% off rather than paying full price for the iPhone 17 Plus.
