Why choose the iPhone 12 Pro refurbished in 2026?

The iPhone 12 Pro was the iPhone that introduced the 5G and the LiDAR for the mainstream. The flat stainless-steel design became the standard that Apple maintains to this day. With a triple camera of 12MP, it records in Dolby Vision HDR and captures photographs in low-light conditions that impress.

In 2026, by 211 €, you have a flagship iPhone with Pro features - telephoto, LiDAR for AR and portraits, and 5G - for less than any new mid-range smartphone.

Who is it for?

• Who wants a Pro camera for less than 250 € - triple with tele 2x and LiDAR
• Who needs 5G - the iPhone 12 Pro was the first iPhone 5G
• Who is upgrading from an iPhone X or XR - significant upgrade at an affordable price

iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 12: is it worth the difference?

For 30 € difference, the 12 Pro adds a telephoto lens, LiDAR, stainless steel and more storage. It is one of the best cost-performance upgrades in the iPhone range.

iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 (since 239 €) has a newer chip (A15 vs A14), superior battery life and Cinematic mode, but a dual-camera (without telephoto). If you value the Pro camera and LiDAR, the 12 Pro is the better choice for less money. If you prefer the newer chip and better battery, the iPhone 13 is the option.
