I can¡¯t answer your question, but something else to consider. Is it sold as used, refurbished, open box or clearance? What is the return policy from the seller. At 50%, I tend to think used. Then you have look at the buyers risk aversion.?
My finances are poor, but I bought my current iPhone as a clearance of new old stock, with a new AppleCare plan. So I got low risk with a 50% discount. So it is possible to find screaming deals. I needed a new phone, just before a new model release. It was about 2 models behind, as their low price model, about to be 3 models behind, so they were dumping inventory to make room for the new. ?By accident I timed it right.?

I saw this on 9to5 Mac; about iPhone 14 pro units on sale at Amazon.
You can often find renewed iPhone 14 Pro units at prices significantly lower than their original $999 starting price. These devices are still more than capable of handling anything you throw at them in 2025, making them a fantastic value for those wanting flagship-level performance without paying flagship prices. Right now, an unlocked iPhone 14 Pro with 128GB is $456 on Amazon.
If you are ok without the USB-C port (which 99% of people seem to be) and no Apple intelligence, then this price is an absolute steal. And the best part is you can just purchase a lightning to USBC adapter and get most of the USBC features.
?I confess to being clueless as to what they are referring to when they say, "you can just purchase a lightning to USBC adapter and get most of the USBC features.¡±. ?Do they mean faster charging? ?What features?
Thanks for any elucidation.
