Buying refurbished is the smart move here, you get the same Pro Max experience for a lot less than new, and this one has been well looked after. Think of it as the sensible South African way to own flagship tech.
The honest bit first. This unit has a few faint nicks on the casing, visible only on close inspection, which is exactly why it's priced the way it is. Everything else is in excellent shape and works as it should.
Screen: Fitted with a new replacement screen that performs just as well as the original, with almost no signs of previous use. You may briefly see an iOS notification about a replacement part, this disappears from the lock screen after a few days and gets archived in Settings.
Casing: A few markings and nicks are visible, but overall the casing is in amazing condition.
Battery: Health is at 100%, fitted with a brand-new battery that performs just as well as the original. As with the screen, you may briefly see a replacement part notification which clears itself after a few days.
Functions: Fitted with an original TrueDepth camera (again, any replacement-part notification clears on its own after a few days). This device has undergone comprehensive testing of its system functions and is in full working order.
Overall: A great-condition iPhone 16 Pro Max that's fully functional, with only light, expected cosmetic wear on the casing.
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.
