iPhone 11 Pro Max Refurb from Apple?

[snfrd84]

I may severely be in the minority, but I still love the size and design of the 11 PM. With that said, is it worth the extra money and peace of mind of ordering one from Apple's refurbished page? Or go Backmarket or Swappa?

The new Pro is too small and the new PM is too big and heavy for me. I'd rather wait to see what the models in the next year or two look like.

My last 2 iPhones have been Apple Refurbished, and they were both perfect. Looked identical to new. Never had any problem with them.

Buy the 11PM if that’s your favorite. Last year I purchased a refurbished 8+ ha!

Does Apple put all new parts on them? Battery too?

New battery. New outer shell. New display panel. Carefully tested. Original motherboard.

Seems worth the extra money.

It’s the best deal you can get. No worries of fraud, an essentially brand new phone, a brand new warranty, and you can add AppleCare+.

LOL.

I'm paying off two 11 Pro Maxs purchased brand new in February 2021. Got about four months left to go.

I stand corrected, lol.

I bought my 11 pro on the Apple Refurbished site in february. No regrets so far.

I have purchased an iPhone, two iPods, an iPad and two iMacs from Apple's refurb store, and not a bad one in the bunch. Go for it!

The don't come with a new screen as default... as per the refurb site:

All refurbished iPhone models come with a new battery, new outer shell, are backed by a one-year warranty, have free delivery and returns, and also include:

• Full functional testing, genuine Apple part replacements (if necessary) and a thorough cleaning
• The original Operating System or a more recent version
• All refurbished devices are repackaged in a brand-new box with all accessories and cables

I’ll bet if the screen isn’t absolutely perfect during refurbishment, they replace it because both of my refurbished iPhones had absolutely perfect screens. They had to be new. Flawless.
