Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy a used iPhone 16 Plus near Swappa's $654 average (Oct 7, 2026) if you want a big-screen iPhone with long battery life for less than a new iPhone 17: it lasted 21 h 51 min in PCMag's test and 17 h 14 min in Tom's Guide's, and has the A18, Camera Control and Apple Intelligence. Skip it if you want a smooth screen or fast charging: the 6.7-inch panel runs at 60Hz, and Trusted Reviews measured about 1 h 50 min for a full charge. Apple no longer sells it new.

Best for

iPhone users who want a big screen and long battery life at a used-market price

Not for

Anyone who wants a 120Hz screen or fast charging; the iPhone 17 has both
