Should You Buy a Refurbished iPhone 13 or 14 in 2025?

Thinking of upgrading without breaking the bank? In 2025, refurbished iPhones are smarter than ever—and the iPhone 13 and 14 are at the top of the value list.

But which one should you pick?

👉 Refurbished iPhone 13

Still blazing fast with Apple’s A15 Bionic chip

Great battery life

Dual-camera system that holds its own

Now more affordable than ever
Perfect for everyday users who want performance + savings.

👉 Refurbished iPhone 14

Slightly better low-light camera performance

Crash Detection (a nice-to-have for peace of mind)

Slightly improved battery and thermal management

Same chip as iPhone 13, but newer build

So what’s the real difference? Not much—unless you want the very latest safety features or plan to hold onto it for 5+ years.

💡 Our take?
If you find a Refurbished iPhone 13 in great condition and at a good price—grab it. If the iPhone 14 is only £50–£70 more, it’s worth the bump for future resale value.

And remember, buying refurbished isn’t just smart—it’s sustainable. Less waste, more tech for your money.
