I did a lot of research before I arrived at this decision to purchase my next iPhone. I’m not the average person that keeps upgrading year after year. I waited a good amount of time before I decided on this decision. And I love Amazon, and when they said that they have a “Renewed Premium” iPhone for sale…they mean it. Apple does not sell Pro variant predecessor models (14 Pro/Pro Max, 13 Pro/Pro Max, etc) but only the newest which are the 15 Plus, Pro/Pro max ) so i had to look online and I found Amazon to have the best deal. I unboxed my iPhone 14 Pro and I couldn’t believe my eyes as to how flawless the phone was. It had zero and i mean ZERO scratches!!!
The screen looked good, camera, battery, sound, and the back finish had zero smudges or scratches. For the price, I am absolutely satisfied. I usually bide my time and wait years to pay for a brand new phone but Apple is asking for essentially a price of a mortgage payment for a new phone…it’s unrealistic. Buying refurbished not only saved me money but it’s better for the environment and Amazon does guarantee a 1 year return which is very gracious and I appreciate that, especially when you’re spending almost $1000 on a phone. The packaging was great and came with a USB cable and wall plug. I’m writing this review because i implore others to try out this opportunity because it’s good for your wallet and the environment. This changed the landscape of my cell phone shopping experience because i no longer have to pay full price for an iPhone from Apple. Apple does have a refurbished/clearance section on their website BUT the availability of their models/sizes/colors is scarce and the prices are still hiked up. I do believe Amazon “Renewed Premium” is the key to ensuring that you will get a high quality phone in good condition.
The one thing that i found to be dubious of the shopping experience was that within the packaging, there was a card inside of a paper sleeve that had a bunch of checkboxes for the “technician” to check off all of the functions of the phone that were tested/passed and some of the checkboxes were titled “Touchbar” and “Trackpad”…and they were indeed checked on the checklist. But why? This is not a laptop or macbook and there is no “trackpad” or “touchbar” which leads me to challenge the integrity for the “testing” or “refurbishment” procedures at Amazon. Are they just checking all of the boxes to make it look presentably reliable or are they actually testing the functions of the phone? That’s something to consider. I did, however, test it myself and came to conclude that the phone was all good. Would I trust this process and buy another phone from Amazon, absolutely ! I just wanted to point that out.
