Buying refurbished is just the smart way to shop these days, you get the same iPhone experience for a lot less rand, and this Mini in Pink is a proper example of that. Small phone, small price, no drama.
The honest bit first. This unit shows some light signs of everyday use, faint scratches on the screen and a few nicks and markings on the casing, plus the battery is sitting a bit below full health. None of that affects how well it works, which is exactly why the price is worth it.
Screen: Faint scratches are visible on close inspection, but nothing that gets in the way of daily use.
Casing: A few nicks and light markings are visible on the body, consistent with a phone that has been carried and used normally.
Battery: Health is at 81%, and while it is fitted with an original Apple battery you may briefly see a replacement part notification on the lock screen (it disappears after a few days and archives itself in Settings), so expect somewhat shorter time between charges than a new device.
Functions: Fully tested across its system functions and confirmed in perfect working order.
Overall: A well used but fully functional iPhone 13 Mini, light cosmetic wear only, everything works as it should.
Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out. Battery wear excluded.
In the box: Includes a generic charging cable. Original box is 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.
