Apple iPhone XS Max, 256GB, Gold – Fully Unlocked (Renewed)

Beautiful phone with amazing performance.
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.

LOVE IT – Authentic, Clean, In Good Condition <3
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

First Impressions Review: iPhone XS Max from Electronic Deals
I recently purchased the Chrome/Silver/White iPhone XS Max from the seller Electronic Deals. There was a minor issue with delivery being delayed, but this wasn’t the seller’s fault.When I first received the phone, it looked brand new from a distance. On closer inspection, there were small scratches on the top, but they are barely noticeable and easily covered by a case. The screen had some hairline scratches, but they are not deep and you really have to look closely to see them. Not a big deal for me.The phone turned on without any issues. I did have some trouble setting up an account, but a call to Apple Support resolved this by updating the software. Again, not the seller’s fault.The battery health was at 83%, which is acceptable for a refurbished product. However, I have noticed that the phone drains battery a lot faster than I’d like. The software runs smoothly, and I haven’t encountered any problems so far. Face ID works flawlessly.Overall, the phone is perfect and meets my expectations for a renewed product from Amazon.Tip: Before buying a refurbished product, make sure to do extensive research on the seller to ensure you’re getting the best value for your money.I’ll update this review in a few months with further feedback.

Very good!
Ordered this phone in 2022, still working in 2024! So far so good! Very good value over time

I should have returned this phone after the first issue with it! The battery life was way less than the 80% stated and got worst after every charge in my opinion! So FIRST RED FLAG – the SELLER LIED ABOUT THAT !!!I kept the phone despite this small inconvenience because it seemed to be a good phone. However now NOT even 1 YEAR after buying it, it has gotten so bad that I have to charge it multiple times a day as the battery is toast! The phone has started not fonctioning correctly, doesn’t open apps, doesn’t refresh apps when they do open, can’t call out. Can’t hear people when on the phone (when I can that is), the camera works from time to time.Just GARBAGE!! Contacted the Seller who basically tells me, isn’t there problem as I had 90 days to return! That’s great the phone was working up until NOW so that is NO HELP!!!!Also contacted AMAZON who were ALSO NO HELP, as again apparently not their problem!I need to contact Apple directly, who of course won’t help me because I didn’t buy it from them!So I am now 500$ down as it’s too late to go to my bank and cancel the transaction and with a phone that DOES NOT function so I had to buy a new one !!!!!!!!!!I will NEVER buy a refurbished phone from AMAZON or a 3rd party seller again! And regret buying this way!!STAY CLEAR and go elsewhere if you want good quality and good customer service!

Was not sure what i was going to get but was very satisfied. The phone looks like new. No scratches on th screen or back just a little mark on the stainless band below the screen. The battery life is at 100%…. Now,I don’t know if its the original battery or if it was changed and if it was I hope it was replaced by an apple branded battery. All works. Wife is very happy :). Will update if anything changes.Update: battery finally showing the real capacity at 89%. Took a few weeks to show after starting at 100%. Think its the original battery then but still very happy. Besides that, All works great.
