Should you buy the renewed iPhone 13?

It is worth noting the original iPhone 13 is two generations old as it was launched in 2021 with a starting price of Rs 79,900, so that automatically brings a downside to purchasing the phone. In the range of Rs 35,000, there are plenty of specs-rich Android phones for consideration (check out our list of best phones under Rs 40,000), but if it’s the Apple ecosystem that excites you, a better proposition would be to go for the new iPhone 13 (not refurbished), that currently starts at Rs 48,999 for the base 128GB variant on Amazon. Even though it’ll cost an additional Rs 10,000, it’ll bring you warranty directly from Apple (and not ControlZ as is the case here). That doesn’t only offer more benefit to you as a consumer but would also matter if you ever consider reselling the phone.

iPhone 13 at Rs 39,999 or iPhone 12 at Rs 32,999: which deal should you go for?

However, if the budget is still a constraint, we also suggest waiting for the Amazon and Flipkart sales which should further bring down the price of the iPhone 13. But if you need to make an immediate purchase decision, then you can consider the refurbished iPhone 13. The renewed iPhone 13 offers an 18-month warranty (not from Apple) alongside adapters and power cables in the customised box (not the original box). Meanwhile, Apple offers a warranty for a year and you don’t get an adapter on purchase of the original iPhone 13.

Therefore, if you are an iPhone fan but are unable to buy it because of its hefty price, this renewed iPhone 13 might be a good option for you. But let us remind you that Apple will be launching the iPhone 16 series this year. It’ll obviously be much more expensive but the cheaper iPhone SE 4 is also very much in the works.
