Refurbished iPhones that support Apple Intelligence
As of November 1, 2026, 10 of the refurbished iPhone models we track on Back Market US support Apple Intelligence. The cheapest of them is the iPhone 16e, at $369. Model selection comes from published hardware specifications; every price comes from our own readings.
Apple Intelligence needs an A17 Pro chip or newer. That rules out almost every second-hand iPhone in circulation: 10 of the models we track on Back Market US clear the bar. Here they are, with the price we recorded.
The criterion, precisely
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max qualify, then the whole 16 range — iPhone 16e included — and the 17 range. The criterion is the chip, not the year, which explains the common trap described below.

The trap: the plain iPhone 15 does not qualify
Only the Pro models of the 15 generation received the A17 Pro chip. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus stayed on the A16 and do not support Apple Intelligence, despite sharing the USB-C connector and the release year. It is the most common buying mistake on that generation.

Where this list and these prices come from
Model selection comes from published hardware specifications — screen size, connector, chip, lenses — which never change. The prices come from our own readings of the Back Market page, once or twice a day, and change constantly. We do not blur the two: we publish no price we have not observed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest refurbished iPhone with Apple Intelligence?
As of November 1, 2026, it was the iPhone 16e, at $369 on Back Market US.
That is an entry price: it matches the cheapest configuration available for that model on the day, and it changes at every reading.
Does the iPhone 15 support Apple Intelligence?
No. Only the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max do, because they carry the A17 Pro chip. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus use an A16 and are not supported.
It is the most common confusion of that generation: same year, same USB-C connector, two different chips.
Which tracked models do not support it?
Among the models we track: iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
They remain perfectly usable and keep receiving iOS updates; it is the Apple Intelligence layer, and only that, which they lack.
