A refurbished iPhone 13 is being offered for £199, down from £449, through Wowcher ahead of Apple's expected September 9 showcase, which is rumoured to include the iPhone 18 range and a foldable iPhone.
Deal details and features
The iPhone 13, despite being an older model, retains many capabilities of newer iPhones, including Face ID, a dual rear camera setup, and compatibility with Apple software like iMessage. It is powered by the A15 Bionic Chip, which supports multitasking and app usage with minimal lag, and features a 6.1-inch screen that displays content clearly even in bright conditions.
The model on offer includes 128GB of storage, which may be limited for heavy media users but can be supplemented with iCloud storage. As a refurbished device, it may show minor signs of wear; customers can choose between 'good' condition (minor wear) or 'acceptable' condition (visible scratches on case or screen), with both expected to operate normally.
Pricing and alternatives
The blue iPhone 13 is the cheapest at £199, while other colours are available at higher prices, such as the pink model at £215 in Grade B condition. For those seeking a newer model, the iPhone 17 is reduced from £799 to £749 on Amazon, featuring a 6.3-inch Pro Motion display and all-day battery life. Alternatively, the Samsung Galaxy A16 is available on Amazon for £137, with a Super AMOLED display and three rear cameras.
Customer reviews
Customer feedback on the iPhone 13 has been mixed. Positive reviews include: "It was a great deal and arrived in the stated time and was in excellent condition. I would recommend anyone checking out Wowcher for great iPhone deals," and "Excellent phone great condition. very good communication. My niece going to be very happy at xmas." Others praised the service, with comments like "Fantastic Service!!" and "Phone is immaculate. Very happy with it and the service."
However, some negative reviews noted issues: one customer said, "I ordered a green phone but received a blue one bit disappointed but I use a case anyway so not a big problem, the phone itself is good works well and case undamaged. Altogether pleased with my purchase." Another complained, "The battery life is really terrible. The fully charged phone does not last a whole day, which I think is pretty poor that the company can see a phone with a very old battery. In settings it says the battery needs a service and should actually be changed for a new one. Not good at all!!"
