Buying an iPhone in 2025 doesn’t mean you need the latest model at full price. In fact, with Apple’s long software support and reliable build quality, even slightly older iPhones are still excellent options — especially when they’re refurbished by Cellure.
But which model should you choose? Whether you’re shopping for yourself, your child, or a loved one in The Gambia, this guide will help you compare four of the most popular iPhones we offer: iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Let’s break it down.
