TL;DR: If your phone is feeling old and slow, you can upgrade for cheap by grabbing this refurbished second-generation iPhone SE (WiFi + unlocked) for just $159.99. That's 59% in savings as of Sept. 7.


Apple lovers can upgrade without grabbing the latest expensive iPhone on the market. The 2nd Gen iPhone SE is still a great phone with a powerful camera, wireless charging options, and touch ID, and you can get one in very good condition for a very low price. 

Normally, a 2nd-generation iPhone SE still runs for $399, but you can get this one for only $159.99. 

Save on a new-to-you iPhone SE 2nd Gen

This iPhone SE 2nd Gen blends the look of an iPhone 8 with much much more contemporary features. The 4.7-inch Retina HD display is compact and responsive, and the A13 Bionic chip still leaves room for a variety of apps and multitasking. For security, this iPhone has Touch ID integration. And you can snap photos in that legendary iPhone clarity with a 12MP rear-facing camera. Or snap a selfie with the 7MP front-facing camera. 

This phone is cellular unlocked, so you can plug in a SIM card and it’s business as usual. It also has multiple charging options. Pop it onto a Qi wireless charger or use the included UL-approved power adapter and cable. 

iPhones aren’t cheap, so it’s pretty great that this one has IP67–water resistance. Avoid FaceTiming underwater, but a little splash or bit of rain should be no problem. This phone is currently running iOS 13, but it can be upgraded to iOS 16 now or iOS 17 when it comes out.
