iPhone 16 Pro vs 17 Pro: which used Pro should you buy?

Short answer

Get the 16 Pro if you want a Pro for the lowest price: same size screen, still fast, and it gets Apple Intelligence. Get the 17 Pro if battery and camera matter most: it runs about 6 hours longer on video and its zoom and front cameras are sharper.

With us, the 16 Pro starts at $520 and the 17 Pro at $830.

You own it

It's yours

You own the phone outright. There's no contract and nothing to hand back.

Sell it back when you want

After 1 year, 2 years or never. We'll always make you an offer.

Unlike a lease

With a lease or upgrade plan you return the phone and never own it.

Is the 17 Pro worth paying more?

If you end most days with charge to spare and shoot mostly on the main camera, the 16 Pro is the better value. It has the same size screen and gets Apple Intelligence. The 17 Pro is for heavy days: it is rated for about 6 more hours of video, its zoom camera is 48MP instead of 12MP, and the front camera is 18MP. Of the phones we have now, 100% of 17 Pros and 80% of 16 Pros have battery health of 90% or more.
