Post Wanted roundup finds discounts on iPhones across Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and carriers
Deals include renewed and restored iPhones and carrier offers, with savings on models from the iPhone 11 through the iPhone 16
Post Wanted, the New York Post's commerce deals vertical, on Monday published a roundup of discounted Apple iPhones available across major retailers and carriers, highlighting both renewed (refurbished) units and new-device promotions. The compilation lists price cuts on models from the compact iPhone 13 Mini to the flagship iPhone 16 Pro Max, with offers appearing on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and through AT&T.
Top examples cited include a 24% saving on a renewed Apple iPhone 14 Plus (128GB, Red, unlocked) on Amazon, a 7% discount on a renewed iPhone 13 Mini (128GB, Blue) on Amazon, an AT&T iPhone 15 Plus (256GB, Blue) available from $23.59 per month at Walmart, and an AT&T iPhone 16 Plus (128GB, Pink) with Apple Intelligence starting at $25 per month at Best Buy. The Post Wanted roundup also identifies a restored, fully unlocked iPhone 14 (128GB, Midnight) at Walmart advertised as more than $315 off typical pricing.
The Amazon listings noted in the article include multiple renewed options, with the marketplace offering "Renewed Premium" and standard renewed grades. Amazon's Renewed Premium listing for an "iPhone 16e" (128GB, Black) was described as carrying an A‑class condition with a one‑year guarantee, while renewed listings for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 were presented as unlocked and restored to near‑new condition, often with reported high battery health. The roundup frames such renewed units as a lower‑cost alternative to buying new devices while retaining core iPhone features such as Super Retina displays, 5G connectivity and current iOS compatibility.
Walmart's deals highlighted restored iPhone 14 and iPhone 11 models, both presented as fully unlocked and refurbished to functional standards. The restored iPhone 14 (128GB, Midnight) and restored iPhone 11 variants (64GB and 256GB) were positioned as options for shoppers prioritizing price and storage capacity over the newest hardware. Walmart's offerings included both carrier‑specific promotions and unlocked devices, according to the Post Wanted summary.
Best Buy's listings emphasized higher‑end models and features, including an AT&T iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) in black titanium with Apple Intelligence and the iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) in pink, billed as incorporating Apple Intelligence functions such as smarter Siri and enhanced photo Clean‑Up tools. The article identified carrier installment pricing and promotional starts for some of those new‑model offers.
Post Wanted's roundup is presented as a shopping guide rather than independent price verification. The piece notes that offers can vary by seller and are subject to change; the publication advises readers that discounts may expire and that prices on third‑party marketplaces can fluctuate. The roundup also includes commentary about device condition categories (renewed, restored, unlocked) and suggests such distinctions matter for warranty coverage and carrier compatibility.
The article was written by P.J. McCormick, New York Post commerce deals reporter, who the Post identifies as a specialist in locating retail discounts. Readers are reminded that inventory and pricing change rapidly and that terms such as monthly installment amounts depend on carrier financing agreements and credit eligibility.
Shoppers seeking the listed deals were directed to retailer pages for purchase; the Post Wanted compilation grouped offers by retailer and emphasized options for budget‑minded buyers seeking renewed or restored units as well as shoppers pursuing new models via carrier promotions. The article serves as a snapshot of available promotions at the time of publication and does not constitute an endorsement of specific sellers or products.
