現在、新しいiPhone 14 Proは$450で購入する価値があるとされています。

I have been paying close attention to Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone, but the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro are still attractive—especially if you're buying for reuse or remaking. With the latest features, robust construction, and long-term software support, these Pro models offer exceptional value at their current price points.

Why the iPhone 14 Pro will still function in 2025

The iPhone 14 Pro, released late in 2022, introduced several features that set it as a benchmark for next-generation flagship phones.

• Motion Island: This interactive cutout replacement provides a new method for managing notifications and live events.
• 48MP Camera: Apple transitioned to a 48MP sensor, achieving exceptional photo quality in ProRAW mode.
• A16 Bionic Chip: The A16 will continue to handle demanding apps, games, and camera tasks powerfully even in 2025.
• Emergency SOS: Apple debuted the Emergency SOS feature with the iPhone 14 series and it's still available on this phone.
• Always-On Display: This was Apple's first introduction of AOD to an iPhone. It allowed the phone to reduce its refresh rate, dim the display, and show things like a clock, weather forecasts, notifications without consuming battery life.

With these features, the iPhone 14 Pro is the top choice for those who want to upgrade to a premium smartphone without spending a lot more money on the latest model.

Reconditioned iPhone 14 Pros can be found at significantly lower prices than their original $999. These devices also retain the ability to handle everything they did in 2025, offering flagship-level performance at flagships' prices. Currently, a locked-out 128GB version of the iPhone 14 Pro is available on Amazon for $456.

The lack of a USB-C port and the price point make this an absolute treasure if you don't have Apple's intelligence. And the best part is that by purchasing a Lightning to USBC adapter, you can use most USBC features.

Unique situation with the iPhone 15 Pro

The iPhone 15 Pro introduces revolutionary updates, making it even more appealing to buy.

• Titanium Frame: The structure of the iPhone 15 Pro is made from titanium, making it lighter and more durable.
• Design: Apple has made some design changes this year, replacing the mute toggle with an Action button. This button can be mapped for pretty much anything you want.

These improvements make the iPhone 15 Pro a great investment if you're looking for the latest model. The only thing missing from the 15 Pro is a 5x zoom lens (which the 15 Pro lacks), and new camera control buttons. Essentially, you get 95% of what you'd get in the 16 Pro with this 128GB model priced at around $760. However, it's still cheaper than an entry-level iPhone 16 Pro by $240. But if value is your top priority, the iPhone 14 Pro offers strong competitiveness at a more appropriate budget.

Final Shot

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro are excellent value products by early 2025. Whether you choose a reconditioned iPhone 14 Pro at a bargain price or invest in the latest upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro, you can end up with a reliable device that will last for years. I think these options are more premium than a standard iPhone 16.

These Pro models with their long-term software support, high resale value, and excellent performance offer some of the best choices in the current smartphone market.
