Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, 128GB, Sierra Blue - Unlocked (Renewed)

At first, I was skeptical about buying a refurbished device, but I finally convinced myself after reading about this company's reputation. The device arrived on time, just as promised. It's in good condition with only a few very minor imperfections on the front frame—I emphasize that they are barely noticeable. The battery health was at 92%, and it came with a charger, but the included cable wasn't the right one; they sent a USB-C to USB-C cable instead of a USB-C to Lightning cable. I would like to receive the correct cable from the seller. I waited a week before writing this review to be as honest as possible, and I don't think the device will have any problems going forward. Therefore, I recommend this seller 90%, deducting points only because of the incorrect charging cable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Performance, Premium Quality, and Long Battery Life Excellent product, highly recommended. The iPhone 13 Pro Max exceeds expectations in every way. Performance is extremely fast, even when using multiple apps at the same time. The display is large, bright, and vibrant—perfect for videos, gaming, and everyday use. The camera quality is outstanding; photos and videos look professional, even in low-light conditions. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the design feels sleek and premium. It arrived in perfect condition and works like new. Definitely a great purchase and worth the investment. Very satisfied with this product.

Just received it today, set it up and it's working perfectly. The screen is pretty much like new. The back is in perfect condition. The top of the phone has a scratch where it took off the paint. But, that's to be expected when buying a used phone. I just recommend wiping or resetting the phone completely before you start using it. Mine arrived without being reset. Overall I'm really happy with my purchase. And it arrived on the day it said it would!!

The acceptable version is very cheap. The only noticeable issues are scratches on the front screen. Everything else is OEM, but the battery will need replacement since it’s at 80%.

I have been buying refurbished iPhones from Amazon for years. It works great, very clean and described. No scratches on the screen. Easy to use, easy to set up. Best value for your buck. Since it’s unlocked, you can take it to any carrier. I’ll be buying again in the future.

So far it’s going great! Battery is 100% and the storage is 512GB just like I brought it! No scratches, no nothing! I’m very pleased!

I wasn't really gonna write a review on this but I have to! I am amazed at how I got my phone in the condition it came in . it said excellent condition , and it really is . I am really picky with my electronics , always wanting them to look perfect , no scratches or bumps . and this did not fail me. no scratches at all on the screen and maybe some small ones in the back that you really had to look for but with a case on its not an issue. cameras were also not scratched and everything works, from the cameras , to the speakers and the whole software of the phone is good and up to date. the only flaw, was how it had 88% battery life. on the description it says that having up to 80% will still land it on excellent condition , so I can't knock a point because I knew, and getting a new battery will be about 90$ according to apple. I did talk to one of my buddies that works on phones and said he doesn't recommend me to replace the battery as it still is healthy. and I have been using it for a week and it really doesn't need one. I had an iPhone 12 and I used it almost every day at work playing videos on the background , and it would last me about 7-8 hours and then id have to charge it considering my work days are 10 hours. with this phone , I literally come out of work with about 40-65% battery still. all it all , this is great , it was one of the best prices I could find for a used iPhone 13 Pro Max and im am actually really satisfied with my purchase . I also stayed with the 13 instead of the newer ones because it has a SIM card tray still and because it does not have the dynamic island that the new ones have as I think it takes up more screen when watching videos compared to the small notch on the 13. I wish it did have the stabilizing camera feature for when I walk my dog and want to take stable videos , but I don't mind that . this phone when it came out was beloved by every one and I think its still a great buy for 2024.

Aside from the phone being nearly perfect, no visible signs of wear and tear, no delays (after updating and restoring), unlocked, and the battery is good (84% health). (lengthy story and complaint incoming) However, (and hopefully this helps someone else who faces the same problem) I’m giving it 3 stars because I had the worse experience setting it up. Not to mention the charging cable that came with it didn’t work. Anyway, to the pressing issue here I did what I would normally do when setting up a new iPhone and followed the prompts to transfer my data through the cloud onto this device. However, due to the phone’s software being completely outdated (ios18, we’re on 26) it caused the phone to completely glitch out midway and got extremely hot. I couldn’t swipe up to input my passcode to proceed with the installation process. Heck, I couldn’t even force restart it. (quickly press the volume up, volume down immediately after and press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo) I was almost at my wits end. Fast forward, the device is still glitchy so I reached out to Amazon Customer Care and was advised that I should take it into Apple and if they couldn’t do anything then to proceed with returning it. I obviously didn’t wanna do that. So I attempted to research the issues and after being pulled between Apple’s forum and Reddit’s forum, I decided to put the iPhone in DFU mode. This mode allows you to update and restore the phone via a computer. So boom, it’s in DFU mode and i’m still struggling! So I contact Apple but of course before doing so I see if they’re able to replace a software defective device out of warranty and of course it was a hard no. At this point, I’m ready to give up and just return it but after letting it die out (due to overheating) I let it charge overnight and said “let’s give this oneee more try.” So, I plugged it back into my computer.. same issue. It would pretend to restore and update the device but I would get an error message midway and couldn’t get my phone out of DFU. Only way to get it out was by completing the restoration. Anyway, I looked up the error message it mentioned that it could be a software issue (tell me something i don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️) or it could be a charger cable issue.. Hmm 🤔 So I switched charging cables (even bought a new one that I would later use) and low and behold the update and restoration finally WORKED… So all in all, I say all of that to say; if you’re having issues with accessing and fully using your new iPhone. It’s more than likely because its software is extremely outdated. What worked for me: Put your phone in DFU mode (look it up if unsure how). Download either Apple Devices (Windows) or iTunes (Mac). While in DFU mode, plug the device up using a USB to lightning Apple Certified cable. A prompt will display saying error something would you like to proceed with restoring or updating? Click “restore” and then “update and restore” (for some reason it didn’t work clicking update first) it’ll take some time but after that it should go through the process of updating and restoring back to the factory settings and then you can proceed with setting the iPhone up as normal. (important!!! the cable needs to be APPLE CERTIFIED not the one from sheetz up the street) I haven’t experienced any delays or issues since updating to the latest version of iOS but i’m giving 3 stars because 1.) the charger it came with didn’t work. and 2.) because i feel like a little help card should’ve been included considering it didn’t have the latest version of iOS on there. Hopefully, TalkTek takes this review into consideration to include a little note in the packaging on updating the device.
