Buying refurbished is one of those decisions that just makes sense - same phone, fraction of the price, and you still get the specs that matter.
The honest bit first. The screen has minor bright spots, which are visible on the display. That is the reason the price is friendlier than a spotless unit, and it is worth keeping in mind before you buy.
Screen: Has minor bright spots on the display. Otherwise the screen is intact and functional. This device has been fitted with a brand-new LCD that performs just as well as the original. You may see a notification about the replacement part, but it will disappear from the lock screen after a few days and be archived in the Settings app. Rest assured that this high-quality generic part will keep your device running smoothly.
Casing: The SIM tray is a different colour to the body, a cosmetic difference only.
Battery: The battery has been replaced with a new non-original unit, so the phone shows Apple's note that it cannot confirm it is a genuine Apple battery. The battery health reads at 100% and performs as expected.
Functions: All system functions have been tested and are working as they should.
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 USB 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.
