Apple iPhone 14 Pro marks the last generation before Apple shifted to a titanium chassis, making it a strong used-market pick in 2024-2026. The 256GB Deep Purple variant (MQ1F3ZD/A) is the German/EU SKU — no carrier lock, ready for any SIM. Core appeal: the 48MP main sensor, always-on display, and Dynamic Island cutout still hold up against mid-range competitors at twice the price new. Typical buyers are people stepping off iPhone 11/12 contracts, Android switchers wanting iOS without flagship prices, and parents buying a solid hand-me-down. On eBay DE, Grade B (light scratches, full battery health) units fetch €380–€480; Grade A or "wie neu" (>90% battery) push €500–€560. Beware flood of units from Asian resellers with inflated "new" battery claims — EU-imported stock with original packaging is safer. The 256GB tier is the sweet spot: 128GB fills fast with ProRes video, 512GB commands a €60–80 premium rarely justified.

- Check Akku-Zustand (battery health) screenshot in listing — anything under 85% means near-term €80 battery replacement cost, adjust bid accordingly - Filter for "geprüft, MwSt-ausweisbar" sellers if you need VAT invoice for business deduction; private sellers cannot provide one - Verify IMEI at imei.info before payment — confirms not reported stolen and that it is genuinely unlocked (kein Netlock)
