5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing so far
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
I’ve only been using the phone for a couple days since I got it. But the phone came in perfect condition and it even came with a screen protector already on it. The battery was dead when I received it so I had to charge it but that’s not a big deal. Face recognition works screen is super responsive. I would attach pictures however I’m actually writing this review on the phone that I purchased. Definitely worth the money super fast shipping no complaints so far from me. Would definitely use this seller again.

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.

Apple Iphone XS Max, 512GB, Silver – Fully Unlocked (Renewed)
Sold by: Gryphon Commerce

Used IPhone are expensive so I always purchase them as Amazon fulfilled (which are rear these day) or amazon Renewed. That is my insurance policy against ripped off by 3rd party sellers.

Battery health is at 90% which is not bad for a used phone. Condition of the phone is excellent. It has been a over a month now and is performing as expected (no identifiable defects).

In the past few years, I have had to invest in used IPhones for my kids because American school kids have formed a “closed IPhone network”. If your kid does not have an IPhone, then they are left out of the Facetiming and group chats. Many of them do not even know of Android. The closest thing they know of an android is a Samsung.
As a parent, all you can do is to ask you kid to suck it up and use his or her being avoided/left-out, to study. But life does not work like that for Gen Z. They are so sensitive to belonging at this age that you don’t want to add to their stress and depression by adding to their isolation from friends just because they can’t be reach by Facetime or the exclusive iPhone chat groups. So, as a concerned parent, and for the sanity of your child, you hit the used IPhone market for affordability while I myself continue to use a cheapo Android phone.

Going through this process for 3 teenage kids, I have learned a few lessons.
Thoroughly check the performance of every function immediately after you receive your phone. Your return window starts counting down the day it is delivered. I find TestM (Check Phone & Report App) very useful. It will test every functionality on your IPhone. Start using your phone immediately so that if there is a defect that is unacceptable, you may catch it before it is too late.

Although the price of IPhones are exorbitant, I have grown to appreciate their value. The first IPhone I purchased was in November, 2016, an Apple iPhone 6s Plus 128GB Unlocked (Certified Refurbished), Almost 5 years after it release, it has received all updates and is running the latest IOS 13. You don’t get such long support life from most android phones (except probably Google Pixel). It has gone through 3 screen replacement and it is still prodding on.

I don’t believe I received the right item. The case is red on the picture. But I just received it. It’s not red. The other items described are not included. I will be returning for my money back. This seller is falsely advertising.

The media could not be loaded.
 I have a 14pro, I brought this phone for international use/ picture. Before I brought this I do some research how to check the phone, I was worry at the beginning because the seller Tech support don’t have much reviews. I decided give a try because I check all the seller for this phone they all have bad and good revives, and this phone compare other seller is more affordable. I brought this an excellent condition. When this arrive, no scratch, battery life is 100% I was stock, and I test the screen, sounds, camera, IMEI number…. etc it will work!!! I am SOOOOO happy! This is a 5 years old phone, and this is not for primary use so I am not very worry about the battery, but it do get hot when you use.
