Buying refurbished is just the sensible move when the saving is real and the device works exactly as it should this one does.
The honest bit first. The screen has deep scratches visible on it, which is why the price is where it is. The casing has a few markings and nicks but is otherwise in great shape. The screen itself has been replaced with an original part; you may see a notification about the replacement on the lock screen, but it clears on its own after a few days and moves to the Settings app.
Screen: Deep scratches are visible. Fitted with an original replacement screen that works perfectly. A temporary notification about the replacement part may appear on the lock screen and will disappear after a few days.
Casing: A few markings and nicks are visible, but overall in great shape.
Battery: Health is at 87%, fitted with an original replacement battery. A temporary notification about the replacement part may appear on the lock screen and will disappear after a few days.
Functions: Fully functional with all system functions working perfectly.
Overall: A fully working iPhone 14 Plus that performs exactly as it should. The deep scratches on the screen are the main cosmetic trade-off, and the price reflects that honestly.
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.
