  1. It's also important to check if the AMZ refurbished phones have non-Apple replacement parts. Make sure to check your settings that your refurb has original Apple parts. If not, I return the phone. That means your screen, battery, etc. was replaced with inferior third-party parts.

  2. Hey bro, Is it a good deal to buy a iPhone 14 Pro 1TB refurbished from apple for 1099AUD (Australia) which is 714 USD, I feel like it’s not bad at all compare to a iPhone13 with 512gb 🤔??

  3. What is the cost to replace an iPhone battery at the Apple Store? That would be a consideration if you did buy a refurb with an 80% battery as you could replace as needed in the future.

  4. I remember getting a ipad from Amazon renewed. It was all fine with minor scratches. Turned it on everything look fine but it came with low battery decided to charged it with the one they gave me literally didn't work, tried with one of my chargers and still didn't. What I found interesting was that it was close to dieing so I had to quickly reset it because it was part of the process of sending it back so I truly wonder if I didn't would they have not given me a refund either way though I wasn't going to let that slide. Don't know what I expected really. Got a refund and bought a refurbished ipad from Apple and everything was good.

  5. It's not a better phone, what are you talking about? It's $4500 board in the phone. You got from Amazon the full. You have Amazon with a better deal and better warranty. And a better option, so what are you talking about?

  6. You keep saying it looks like a new phone. It's gonna look like a new phone with a new house in a new battery. Quit saying that that makes no sense. You're not understanding that and you paid. Almost falling at all more. I got a brand new phone 4 320. Will you buy older model? They should never cause that much even if their brand new got cheated.

  7. Don't take this to wrong way, but why would you be impressed? You paid almost 4 or $500 more for that phone, and they told you they gave you a new housing? That's why you're paying for a new phone. Because I got a new phone $4320. Galaxy S23+ so Apple actually cheated you.

  8. u kept saying ur suprised that the one from apple looks new, while saying you know it has a new shell on it lol? obviously it will look new if the shell is new on it….

  9. I bought a renewed premium (Excellent) 15 Pro Max from Amazon and I haven't had the best experience. During setup the phone hung while transferring data/service from old device (13 Pro Max). I this was about 6-7 in the evening. Hadn't finished by midnight so I left the phones side-by-side and went to bed. I woke up around 8 the next morning, still wasn't complete. Around 10am I decided to put the phone in recovery mode and update/restore it.

    During the next setup I chose to restore from iCloud and everything transferred okay. However, at this point the device started rebooting uncontrollably for the rest of the day. This was unfortunate as I attended a wedding and was unable to get any photos. You might ask why I didn't just use the 13? The screen was completely out; I couldn't see anything unless connected to Quicktime on MacBook, and that's not the most portable solution. If I had used the 13 I would have been stuck using my watch to text/call/ or do anything useful.

    Two weeks in the phone still is not operating as expected. Siri is basically unusable, and that includes announcing notifications like texts, calls, and time-sensitive notifications. Triggering a screenshot will also cause the phone to reset. Sometimes it just randomly reset while surfing/streaming video; though audio seems to be fine. Amazon is supposed to be sending a replacement, but they missed the original delivery date a couple of days ago and still haven't shipped it. I'm giving them 3 more days (1 week from when it was supposed to be shipped) until I cancel the replacement, return the original, and just get a brand new 16PM direct from apple.

    You might ask why I didn't do that in the first place. I'm drawn to the midnight blue that is not available on the 16. Also tried to save money and do something ecologically honorable by buying refurbished. Any I wanted to use Amazon Payments. But none of these are worth what I'm going through right now.

  10. Or just buy at once the newest and than use apple care to change it before go to Buy back and take the newest phone there to have full price that pay the small tax an get the Newest iphone every year

  11. Apple pretty much replace everything that could wear so it's like a new old model. If that is what you want great but in regards to iPhones you just aren't saving that much. In regards to Macs I think it's a better value to get them pre-owned from Apple but considering the price of discounts from carriers, at least in the US, it's almost better to just get a new one and trade in your old one if you have one. If this was the price for say a 15 Pro, that might be a good deal but the 12 is now a 4 year old model… Great comparison of all the pluses and minuses!
