Buying refurbished is just the sensible move when the saving is real and the device does everything it should this one fits that bill nicely.
The honest bit first. The screen has faint scratches and markings visible, and the casing has nicks around the frame and scratches on the body. That wear is exactly why the price is where it is.
Screen: Faint scratches and markings are visible. The phone also shows Apple's display message this is Apple's notice that it cannot confirm the screen is a genuine Apple original, meaning the screen has been replaced with a non-original one. It works normally.
Casing: Nicks visible around the frame and scratches on the casing, consistent with normal everyday use.
Battery: The battery has been replaced with a non-original one, so the phone shows Apple's note that it cannot confirm it is a genuine Apple battery. The battery health reads at 100% and the battery works normally.
Functions: Comprehensive testing of system functions confirms the device is in perfect working order.
Overall: A fully working iPhone 12 256GB with normal cosmetic wear scratches on the screen and frame nicks that does not affect day-to-day use at all.
Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out.
In the box: Generic USB cable. Original box not included.

There is only one, and it might be in someone else's cart right now. A cart does not hold it, checking out does. The first person to check out claims it, and we then hold it just for them for 2 hours to pay. Settle within that window and it is yours. Let it lapse and it goes back up for whoever is next in line. Pay before 13:00 on a weekday (not Friday) and it is packed and dispatched the same day.
Door to door, anywhere in South Africa. Every device is local stock, sent via The Courier Guy with a tracking number the moment it leaves us. No imports, no customs queue, no waiting weeks for a parcel from overseas.
The price you see is the price you pay. Because it ships from right here, there are no surprise VAT bills or import duties landing after checkout, the kind that catch people out when they buy refurbished from abroad. What you pay is the whole story.
