Buying refurbished here is the shrewd move, you get a flagship iPhone at a fraction of the new price, and every fact about this exact unit is laid out below so there are no surprises when it lands on your doorstep.
The honest bit first. Face ID does not work on this unit, everything else has been tested and functions as it should, and the price reflects that trade-off. There are also a few small markings and scratches on the casing from previous use.
Screen: Fitted with a replacement screen that performs just as well as the original, with almost no signs of previous use. You may briefly see an Apple notification about the replacement part, this disappears from the lock screen after a few days and is archived in the Settings app.
Casing: A few small markings and scratches are visible on close inspection, but overall the casing is in amazing condition.
Battery: Health is at 100%. Fitted with an original battery, you may briefly see an Apple notification about the replacement part, this disappears from the lock screen after a few days and is archived in the Settings app.
Functions: Fitted with a replacement TrueDepth camera and rear camera that perform just as well as the originals. The one exception is Face ID, which does not work on this unit. All other system functions have been tested and work correctly.
Overall: A well looked after iPhone 14 Pro Max that works well throughout, with the one confirmed exception being Face ID.
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: iPhone 14 Pro Max and a 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.
