Buying a refurbished iPhone is one of the smartest moves you can make for your wallet, and this iPhone 13 Mini is a good example of why, still got plenty of life in it, just priced sensibly to reflect its history.
The honest bit first. This unit has had its screen, battery and camera replaced, all perform just as well as the originals, and there's some cosmetic wear from previous use, a few nicks on the frame, two minor dents on the bottom, plus minor screen wear and faint markings. None of it affects how the phone works, and it's exactly why this one is priced the way it is.
Screen: Fitted with a replacement screen (slightly thicker than the original panel) that performs just as well as the original. You'll see Apple's replacement part notification on the lock screen for a few days before it settles into the Settings app, this is normal and doesn't affect the display. There's minor screen wear and some faint markings, but it's still in great condition overall.
Casing: A few nicks around the frame and two minor dents on the bottom of the phone, otherwise in good condition.
Battery: Fitted with a replacement battery reading 100% health. The phone shows a notification that will clear from the lock screen after a few days. The battery works normally.
Functions: The camera has also been replaced, the replacement performs just as well as the original, you'll briefly see Apple's part notification for it too, which clears on its own. The phone has been tested and everything works as it should.
Overall: A fully working iPhone 13 Mini with some light cosmetic wear and a few quality replacement parts on board, ready for daily use.
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 charging 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.
