The range covers qualifying offers in Rebuya's current records, including different storage and grades. It is not a like-for-like quote. Seller terms above are recorded per listing and can differ even within one seller. Confirm price, stock, condition, returns and warranty on the seller's page. Rebuya may earn a commission from some links; that does not change the listed price.
Which should you buy?
Choose the 10th generation for USB-C and its larger display. Choose the 9th generation for a lower current price if its smaller display and Lightning connector suit you.
First choose the configuration and compatibility you need. Then compare the specific listing's condition and seller terms. A lower price alone does not establish a better device.
