Buying refurbished is just the sensible move, especially when the phone itself is in solid shape and the savings are real.
The honest bit first. The casing has minimal nicks, which is normal for a used device and exactly why the price is better than new. The screen and battery have both been replaced with quality new parts that work perfectly, so you get fresh components at a used price.
Screen: No visible scratches. The phone has been fitted with a replacement screen that works perfectly. iOS may show a notification about the part on the lock screen for a few days, after which it moves to the Settings app.
Casing: Minimal nicks, otherwise in good shape.
Battery: Health is at 100% with a newly fitted replacement battery. iOS may show a notification about the part on the lock screen for a few days, after which it moves to the Settings app. The battery works normally.
Functions: Camera has been replaced. Fully functional, with all system functions confirmed working.
Overall: A fully working iPhone 13 Pro Max with a fresh screen and battery, ready for everyday 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. No original box 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.
