Apple iPhone (Renewed Premium) 15 Pro Max, 512GB, Black Titanium – Unlocked

Used but definitely could not tell
iPhone turned out greater than expected! Was like new, looks new, and battery health was at 99%! There was some minor scuffs on the screen but they were VERY small, on the edge of the screen (nothing on the middle/main screen), and won’t see them once you apply a screen protector on it (which I’m sure 99% of us do with all of our phones). Overall, definitely worth it and love the “new” phone! Definitely recommend going with Amazon Premium refurbished with its 1 year guarantee where if anything goes wrong with it, just return it within that 1 year window to get a refund or replacement; definitely generous compared to other refurbished stores. However, it is a refurbished store through Amazon (or sometimes a 3rd party) so you are subjected to either getting a really good product or a not-so premium product as expected, but again you have a 1 year window to return it for a refund or exchange if you are not satisfied.

BE AWARE OF THE RISKS – I spent hours fixing Amazons issue
Updated: since writing the below review, I have received my second 15 pro max renewed premium, set it up, and handled the refund from the first one. Amazon customer support also offered me a generous discount on the new phone for all the hassle (which I somewhat needed to initiate asking for, I doubt they would have offered that to begin with). If I had to do it all over again – I would have still gone this route since apple refurbished hasn’t released this model yet, but moving forward- I will probably order straight from apple refurbished next time or just get a new iPhone. When factoring the discount I got on this one that’s one year old, I paid about 2/3 the cost for this compared to the latest model, so I can’t complain. All that said, in general I am one who much more values my time and ease over saving a quick bucks. Especially if that quick buck saved costs me HOURS of my life in hassle. If you’re like me in that sense – proceed with caution. I trust Amazon will help make it right if you don’t get a great phone as expected, but even if that’s the case, you’re probably in for quite the hoops to jump through in order to make that happen.Here’s my original, unedited review:I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro Max refurbished and it arrived last night. After spending a good 3+ hours setting it up, I realized the lens for the main camera was broken. From the outside, you can’t see any issue. It wasn’t until I opened up the camera app that I actually saw it didn’t work.“Renewed Premium” carries a certain standard with it, and this certainly does not meet that in the slightest. On top of that, upon calling customer support, I was told that I would not be able to do anything unless I deactivated the phone and remove my Apple ID from it. Wouldn’t have been the end of the world if I needed to go back to my other phone for a bit, however, in order to set up this phone with the eSIM, deactivated my previous SIM card. Upon explaining all of that to customer support, I was told there was nothing they could do unless I deactivated this phone (leaving me without a phone until they received this and shipped me a new one)I was then told to call Apple to see what they can do, when honestly, this is their mistake. Either way, I called apple and it was going to be another set of hoops to jump through with scheduling appointments and all that. Plus since I didn’t have apple care, if they needed to repair the camera, I would still be without a phone. So even if Apple was able to help fix this, the issue of me not having a phone would still be there. Had I broken this camera myself – I would certainly except those terms given there’s not much else I could do. However, this was given to me in this condition and for Amazon to leave me with the responsibility of fixing their mistake due to carelessness in inspection and quality control is absurd.So whether I like it or not, I am now STUCK with the responsibility of cleaning this up since my account is connected to this phone now. What at one point could have been a great gift to myself has turned into the biggest hassle I’ve experienced buying/returning anything, probably ever.I’m going to give this one more shot as I’ve now ordered another iPhone from them to be delivered shortly, however, it’s also required me to spend another ~$1000 in having that iPhone sent prior to me getting my refund. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Even if this next phone is perfect, I’m likely never going to order from the Amazon refurbished store again. I’ll either go straight to Apple refurbished, or brand new, for any of my future phone/laptop/device purchases.On top of all this hassle, I’ll certainly have to spend another few hours setting up my replacement phone once it arrives.All the time I’ve invested into this so far has NOT been even close worth the “nice discount” on a premium refurbished phone that should have arrived without issue to begin with.Amazon – take note. Change your policies. Making this the customer’s mess to clean up is not acceptable.Potential buyers – BEWARE of the risks.I’ll plan to update this review if anything changes. But like I said, even if the next phone I ordered is perfect, I still give this a 1-star review for all the hassle and lack of responsibility the company took to resolve this.P.s. i’ll also add that I am a quite understanding and peaceful person. The person I spoke with from customer support was doing his absolute best to help me, but this was clearly a bigger issue than he had the power to solve. I requested to have this escalated to upper management and was told the same thing. Whoever is the one making decisions about what can and can’t be done needs to hear about this.

Premium
Got it for 705 on prime day. A great option if you want a top-tier iPhone without paying the full retail price. It still delivers everything that makes the 15 Pro Max impressive — the A17 Pro chip, smooth 120Hz display, excellent camera system, and that premium titanium design that feels lighter and sturdier than older models. The “Renewed Premium” tag usually means it’s been inspected and looks almost new, often with a solid one-year warranty, which adds peace of mind. However, because it’s refurbished, there’s always some risk — battery health can vary, and there’s a small chance of minor cosmetic wear or non-original replacement parts. Still, if you get one in great condition with around 95% or higher battery health, it’s an outstanding deal that performs just like new for hundreds less.

Hasta ahora a salido muy bueno
