Apple shoppers scramble to get iPhone model as it drops to £125 - but there's a catch

Apple fans who have been looking for a spare phone or a budget alternative might be in luck because there's a great deal on an older iPhone. For a limited time, money-saving site Wowcher has cut the price of the iPhone 11 to a much cheaper price.

Depsite being an older model, launched in 2019, the refurbished deal could be an option for tech shoppers on a budget. It's second hand, meaning it works just as well as a new device but with slight wear and tear, depending on the condition shoppers choose.

The device comes powered by the A13 Bionic chip, ensuring smooth multitasking and speedy app launches. There's even dual 12MP cameras with Night mode and Deep Fusion for stunning photos and videos. Although the iPhone 11 is nearly six years old, it is still compatible with the latest iOS 26 that's being rolled out later this year.

It comes with a Liquid Retina HD display with True Tone technology for vibrant colors and sharp details. It also has an IP68 rating for splash, water, and dust resistance.

One thing shoppers can do is choose the state of the device, meaning they may pay more if they want a better-condition phone. Wowcher also offers 14-day no-quibble returns for those who aren't happy. Another positive to the deal is price, looking around at Amazon's rival Renewed iPhone 11 cost of £159, Wowcher is currently £34 cheaper for the same 64GB device.

However, a refurbished mobile isn't for everyone, so we have rounded up other alternatives. Including the newest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. Mobiles.co.uk is offering some enticing deals for the gadget, prices kick off at £44.99 a month, with double the storage included.

Alternatively, if you're devoted to Apple, Giffgaff offers the newer iPhone 16 Pro for£24 per month, though there's a slightly higher initial cost of £25 upfront. Allowing shoppers to split the price into smaller payments.

Back in 2019, we reviewed the iPhone 11 and gave it the most stars we could. Tech editor David Snelling said: "There's no doubt iPhone 11 is the Apple smartphone many have been waiting for.

"It's one of the fastest phones on the market thanks to the new A13 Bionic processor, which also extends the battery life by an extra hour compared to the iPhone XR - already a battery life king. The camera upgrade is also a huge step forward with fans now able to shoot images with an ultra-wide lens and the option to add the brilliant bokeh-style blur to more of your images.

However, he did have a problem with the phone's appearance. He added: "As we mentioned earlier in this review, there are some niggles with the new iPhone 11, and not everyone will love the new look."
