The whole tech world might be enamoured with the iPhone 17 range right now (including the ever-so-svelte iPhone Air), but this is the one year where I’ve decided to buck the hype and move in the opposite direction – and I’m glad I did.
For most of this year, I’ve been using a review unit of the iPhone 16 Plus, which, for the record, is easily one of the best iPhones I’ve ever used. When the unit needed to be sent back to Apple HQ ahead of the iPhone 17 launch, however, I had a choice – I could either hold out and see if any of the new phones caught my attention or, do what I’ve always recommended that friends and family do when wanting to upgrade: look for a refurbished phone.
