Buying refurbished is just the smart way to get a flagship iPhone without paying flagship money, and this 13 Pro is a solid example of why.
The honest bit first. This unit has light cosmetic wear from normal use, and there are two things worth knowing upfront: the Auto Brightness feature doesn't work, and there are shadow spots visible in photos taken with the 3x zoom camera. These are exactly why it's priced where it is.
Screen: Minimal scratches, consistent with normal use.
Casing: Minimal scratches and scuffs.
Battery: Battery health is at 100%. This device has been fitted with a brand-new battery that performs just as well as the original. You may see a notification about the replacement part, but it will disappear from the lock screen after a few days and be archived in the Settings app. Note: This device is unable to configure the battery.
Functions: Auto Brightness does not work, and the rear camera shows shadow spots when shooting at 3x zoom.
Overall: Works well for everyday use, with the two issues above being the only things to note.
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 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.
