Buying secondhand is just the smart move when the saving is this real, and this iPhone 14 Pro Max gives you flagship performance at a price that reflects its honest wear.
The honest bit first. Face ID is not working on this unit, which is why the price is where it is. Everything else on the phone has been tested and works as it should. The screen has faint scratches visible on close inspection, and the casing shows a few markings and nicks. There is also minor discolouration on the power and volume buttons, the Taptic button is silver, and the SIM tray has a purple tint.
Screen: Faint scratches are visible on close inspection. The screen has been fitted with a replacement LCD that works normally. The phone will show Apple's notification about the replacement part on the lock screen for a few days before it moves to Settings.
Casing: A few markings and nicks are visible, along with minor discolouration on the power and volume buttons. The SIM tray has a purple tint. Overall still in good shape.
Battery: Health is at 100%. The battery has been fitted with a replacement battery, so the phone will show Apple's notification about the replacement part on the lock screen for a few days before it moves to Settings. The battery works normally.
Functions: Face ID is not working, and a few shadow spots are visible on the rear camera. All other system functions have been tested and are in full working order.
Overall: A fully functional iPhone 14 Pro Max that handles everything you throw at it, with Face ID as the one trade-off. Unlock via passcode or you can set up an alternative routine.
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.
