  • was a bit hesitant buying renewed but this phone is beyond amazing!
Color: Gold Size: 64GB Wireless Provider: AT&T
So I ordered this phone in early January, using it rn to type this! i've been using it for about 3+ weeks now. I was pretty hesitant buying from amazon renewed since i’ve never purchased their refurbished products before. Before this phone i had been using an iPhone 7 plus for about 3 years so this definitely was a huge change! packaging: i do want to add amazon said it would take about a week to come with amazon prime but it came about 2 days early, which was really good. This phone came nicely packaged with a box from the company. They also provided a charger (an off brand one but it worked just fine) i purchased the rose gold with 64gb. I did realize this was the lowest amount of storage but i was coming from 128gb that was way too much for me, so this was definitely the perfect amount, not too little at all. Just the overall look of this phone is really nice and aesthetically pleasing. I really love how the screen takes up the whole phone and just looks really sleek and nice. This phone came with no scratches from what i could tell and looked in perfect condition. Face Id is also a really nice feature that works so quickly compared to touch ID. overall the price isn’t the cheapest but it’s definitely worth it in the long run. In my opinion, this is one of the best iphones to date (even better than the 11) and if you’re hesitant to buy this phone i would say just go for it because it’s by far the best phone i’ve had (((: ... show more

  • Great Phone! I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Practically new compared to the price and has 90% battery life. No scratches. Great phone. I was hesitant to purchase a phone without seeing it, but it's the best decision I made when choosing this seller.

  • Beautiful phone with amazing performance.
Color: Gold Size: 256GB Wireless Provider: Unlocked
6 Months Later update - Still acts like I bought it yesterday. Everything is so smooth, fast, responsive, battery health is still great, and there have been no issues I know of whatsoever. Still have no regrets with this purchase and love this phone! (Original review is below.) First off, I would like to provide my experience with purchasing a used phone. I was very hesitant with this one. But Amazon has a wonderful return policy so I thought, if it isn't what I'm expecting, I can always return it. The things I was very concerned about with previous reviews is if the phone had been wiped correctly to be set up as a new iPhone, if the phone had been previously stolen, if the phone is truly 'unlocked', if the storage space was as I ordered, or if the phone was even a genuine Apple product in the first place! Upon opening it, I did find some light scratching on the front and back glass. Of course, this is to be expected. I'm very happy that there's nothing major at all. The stainless steel band is SPOTLESS. I powered it on, it greeted me with Apple's famous multilingual 'Hello' screen. And THANKFULLY the phone was indeed wiped properly before handed down. I set it up with my Apple ID and went straight to settings. I checked the Serial Number at Apple's website. And was so happy that what I received was a 100% genuine XS Max. I was also very happy to discover that the storage was what I ordered and that yes, the phone is unlocked. I also checked the battery health which is at 98%. Leading me to believe this phone had only been used lightly before. Everything checks out, I am thrilled! Coming from an iPhone 8 Plus, I notice that the phone feels equally as good in my hand. But the smoothness of the stainless steel just adds such a premium feel to it. And have I mentioned the gold is absolutely stunning!? I'm really happy I chose the XS Max over the 11 Pro Max. Mainly because of the rather strange looking new camera design. Being a huge fan of Touch ID, I was very upset about having to switch to Face ID. But honestly, it's actually a lot better than I expected it to be. Its quicker, more secure, and more convenient that your phone just knows that it's you. Now, Performance. This phone excels at pretty much all that I ask it to. Games are faster and smoother than I've ever experienced on a mobile device. (Even the Note 9 I had.) And the new OLED Super Retina Display makes movies, videos, and pictures just incredible. The blacks are SO dark, they blend in perfectly with the outer screen. The camera is unbelievable too. Photos are sharp with detail and the colors are impressive. So overall, my experience of purchasing a used phone couldn't have gone smoother. I am very happy with it! Just make sure you buy from a seller with a bunch of great reviews and you'll most likely get a truthful and legit product like I did. ... show more

  • Nice phone but low battery health
Color: Space Gray Size: 64GB Wireless Provider: Unlocked
The phone is in great condition the only issue I have is that the battery life is only 82% which is kind of disappointing. I know it’s a used phone but I was hoping to be at least 85 or above for an excellent condition.

  • LOVE IT - Authentic, Clean, In Good Condition <3
Color: Silver Size: 256GB Wireless Provider: Unlocked
The media could not be loaded. I loved this phone the second I got my hands on it. At first I was terrified of purchasing it because of the bad reviews. People said they got cracked phones, malfunctioning ones and even fake ones. But finally, I mustered up the courage and bought it. It came fully functional and authentic, with all but one of the promised things. It came with a replaced battery that is not an apple supplied one. Because of that I’m unable to check the battery health, but I don’t mind. In the long run I think it’s better cuz I'm not stressing myself out over the number getting low. The battery on this XS Max is really good even though it’s not an apple product. It hold up for most of the day and as a slightly heavy user, I only find myself plugging it in to charge in the evening times or when i go to sleep. Moving on, it did come with a few scuff marks on the sides and top of the phone. I didn’t mind this one but because I had already planned to slap this powerhouse directly into a case as soon as I got it. I’m a notorious phone breaker so I had to for my sanity. And because of that, I don’t mind the scuffs for: 1: The description did say the phone could have minor scuff marks that can’t be seen at arms length. and 2: I threw a case on the phone right as i got it so yea. Lastly. The screen was beautiful and untouched by any scratches. It even came with a screen protector preinstalled, thank God. But yea, all in all this was a great buy. 9/10, would definitely recommend <3 ... show more
