Hello, I’m looking to upgrade from my 6 year old iPhone X which has slowly been degrading. I can’t afford a brand new phone so i was looking at renewed phones. Is the 13 pro worth the 250 extra CAD dollars over the 12 pro? Thanks

    13 pro has promotion 120hz adaptive screen, so that’d be my choice

    Do you not have a trade your phone in and get the 15 Pro for basically free through your carrier? If not, find one that does.

    Neither is worth the price. And as many people wrote here: don’t buy from Amazon. Check Apple refurbished. Cheers

    Between the two, I’ll go for 13 Pro. Mainly due to promotion and bigger battery. But that large camera module is just so aesthetically pleasing 😍.

    I would probably advise to get 13 Pro ,but have to say that going for second hand phone from Facebook Marketplace will save you loads of money

    “rich” people who had iPhone 13 Pro probably did not upgrade to iPhone 14 Pro (because the phones are almost the same) and have now upgraded to 15 Pro

    so the market is overflown with 13 Pros

    you should be able to get it for 400-500€ or 600-700 Canadian Dollars

    just make sure that the display looks good (the screen was not replaced) and that the battery health is not lower than 85%

    if you can find 12 Pro for much less money thats also a great phone that will serve you well, but its gonna be harder to find it with a decent battery

    If your gonna buy the 13 pro , you might as well just buy the 15 pro for the extra $100 or $200 for the 256gb

    And only buy Apple refurbished- it’s literally the same as brand new - best refurbished in the game

    Don’t buy Amazon renewed

    It’s almost always newer=better with iPhones, but I’d still go with the newer models since you would be stuck with lightning while everybody has usb-c

    Don’t buy refurbished on Amazon. Either get it from Apple or a better/legitimate site like backmarket. Amazon is extremely hit or miss.

    And no you don’t NEED to buy from Apple directly. There’s plenty of other sites that can provide perfectly fine refurbished products.

    Depends on you really, how much do you do with your phone? If you basically just use it for calls/texts and social media, save the $240 and get the 12pro. Still a great phone
