What the gap says about this model
A 13% gap is small, and that is expected: the iPhone 17 Pro is still close to its commercial life. Refurbished stock is young and therefore scarce, and the reference price is still current. On this model the real question is not “new or refurbished” but “now or later”.
Either way, the gap against new is not enough to decide: the model's own history is what says whether today's price is low for it.

Where the iPhone 17 Pro price stands today
The gap against the reference price barely moves — it depends almost entirely on the model's age. What moves, and what decides the right moment, is the refurbished price itself.

Frequently asked questions about the refurbished iPhone 17 Pro
How much do you save on a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro?
As of September 16, 2026, the refurbished iPhone 17 Pro started at $953.67 on Back Market US, against a $1,099 reference new price on the same listing: a gap of $145, or 13%.
That is an entry price: it matches the cheapest configuration available on the day, not every storage size or cosmetic grade.
Is that new price what new costs today?
No. It is the reference new price the listing displays, recorded at the same time as the refurbished price. For a model Apple no longer sells, it is a historical list price.
We record no new prices elsewhere, so we claim nothing about them. The published gap is between two amounts observed on the same listing, on the same date.
Is now a good time to buy a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro?
The gap against new does not answer that: it barely moves. The model's history does. The lowest we have recorded is $920, on September 14, 2026.
Comparing today's price against that low, rather than against the reference price, is the reading that actually helps you decide.
