Buying refurbished here just makes sense, you get a flagship iPhone doing exactly what it should, at a price that reflects real world use rather than a shop window shine. It's the kind of deal that rewards a bit of patience.
The honest bit first. Face ID does not work on this unit, so you'll be using your passcode to unlock and authenticate. The screen, battery, back glass, camera and TrueDepth camera have all been fitted with new replacement parts rather than the originals, and everything else has been tested and works properly.
Screen: Almost no signs of previous use and in great shape. It has been fitted with a replacement screen that performs just as well as the original. You may briefly see an iOS notification about the replacement part after setup, this disappears from the lock screen within a few days and is archived in the Settings app.
Casing: Faint nicks and a few minor markings are visible, but overall it still looks great. The SIM tray is black.
Battery: Battery health is at 100%. The battery has been replaced with a new part that performs just as well as the original.
Functions: Aside from Face ID not working, this device has undergone comprehensive testing of its system functions and is otherwise in proper working order. The back glass, main camera and TrueDepth camera have all been fitted with new replacement parts that perform just as well as the originals.
Overall: A well looked after iPhone 15 Pro Max that works well day to day, with the one thing to know upfront being that Face ID is not functional, so you'll rely on your passcode instead.
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: A generic charging cable is included. Original retail 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.
