Buying refurbished here means someone else already paid for the depreciation, and you get a properly capable phone without the new-price sting, which is about as sensible as it gets.
The honest bit first. This unit shows some markings and minor discolouration around the frame, along with markings on the casing, and it has had its screen and battery replaced with new parts. None of that affects how it works day to day, it just explains the price.
Screen: Fitted with a new replacement screen that performs just as well as the original. You may briefly see a replacement part notification appear on the lock screen after setup, but it clears within a few days and moves into the Settings app archive from then on.
Casing: Markings and minor discolouration are visible around the frame, along with markings on the casing, though the phone is still in fantastic overall shape for a used device.
Battery: Health is at 100%. The phone has been fitted with a new replacement battery that performs like the original, and you may see the same kind of replacement part notification here too, which resolves the same way after a few days.
Functions: The phone has undergone comprehensive testing of its system functions and is in proper working order.
Overall: A solidly working iPhone 14 Pro Max with normal cosmetic wear and quality replacement parts fitted, ready for daily 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 included. 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.
