The Discontinued iPhone Mini

The iPhone Mini models were for those who didn’t want big phones like with the iPhone 12 and 13 series. Despite its short battery life, the Mini could find trouble because of its limited size and portability. Here are the two iPhone Mini models you can still find, often refurbished:

  • iPhone 13 Mini (refurbished): from €439.41
  • iPhone 12 Mini (refurbished): from €294.41
  • The Most Affordable iPhones: iPhone SE

But if you can’t afford an iPhone, the iPhone SE series is the best option. However, these are older designs which come with an older physical home button and bezels, but give it a decent iPhone experience. Rumors suggest a new SE model could be on the way, but for now, here’s what’s available:

  • iPhone SE (3rd Gen): from €459
  • iPhone SE (2nd Gen) (refurbished): from €179.95
  • iPhone SE (refurbished): from €88

Final Thoughts

Apple portfolio has everything — whether it’s the latest iPhone 16 or budget iPhone SE. If it’s the tech you want, the iPhone 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max will have the best bang for your buck, but if you’re after value first, the iPhone 13 or iPhone SE (3rd Gen) provide plenty of power for a lot less money. Look, too, for deals on refurbished Pro models that offer the same flagship levels of specs for a lot less.
