Buying secondhand is just the smart move when you can get a 512GB iPhone 14 Pro at a price that reflects real-world use rather than a retail fantasy.
The honest bit first. Face ID is not working on this unit, so you will use a passcode or other alternatives to unlock. That is the one functional trade-off, and it is priced accordingly. The camera has also been replaced, though it works normally. Everything else checks out.
Screen: Fitted with a brand-new replacement display that performs just as well as the original. No marks or scratches. The phone may briefly show a notification about the replacement part on the lock screen; this disappears after a few days and is archived in Settings.
Casing: Minimal scuff marks consistent with light use.
Battery: Health is at 100%. The battery has been replaced with a new non-original unit, so the phone may show Apple's note that it cannot confirm the battery is a genuine Apple battery. The battery itself performs normally.
Functions: Face ID is not working - you will use a passcode to unlock. The camera has been replaced and works normally. All other system functions have been tested and are in full working order.
Overall: A fully functional 512GB iPhone 14 Pro with a fresh screen and battery, the one thing to know going in is that Face ID is out of action.
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.
