iPhone XS Max 256GB - Gold

Unfortunately i did not pay attention to the reviews and comments. This seller obviously does not know what they are doing. Ordered a refurbished Iphone XS Max. Was so excited to receive it, its beautiful no scratches or cracks. But what exactly am i suppose to do with a phone thats battery is messed up causing the phone to turn on and off every 2 minutes. Could barley get through signing into my icloud. Now to go through the hassle of returning the item and waiting for a new one from a different seller because i will not be purchasing from this seller again.

I surprised my husband with an iPhone for Christmas. This iPhone. He was soooo happy and grateful. He does so much for our family so it was nothing to buy this for him. The camera is amazing. Just as great as the later models. I have a later model so I should know. The storage space is immense compared to his old phone and he’s impressed with the performance and battery life. We both love the seek design of the phone and how much more he can get done on his phone now. It’s the gift that keeps on giving with all of its functionality. Needless to say, he won’t be going back to android anytime soon.

This is my first phone ever since I start using phone. It was a gift from my brother for my birthday. We brought it on September when it just released, I used it until last month 08/2023. I think it about 5 years. Nothing wrong with it, I just have a 13 so I decided to switch. It still in perfect condition and it was my favorite design of all apple phone, specially the gold one. It so funny that I was water damaged it in 2019 and it had a dead spot on the screen, I was so sad and tried every trick I found on the social media but nothing work. I don’t have any money to fix it so I just use it with the problem. Surprisedly that it was back to normal like nothings was happened. It heal by itself :))) yeahhhh I was so confused. Then it perfectly until now

The iPhone XS Max has been my go-to phone for a while, and I’m loving it! The large display is perfect for editing content and watching videos, while the camera quality is still impressive for an older model. It’s fast, smooth, and handles multitasking like a pro. Battery life could be better, but overall, it’s still a solid device for anyone who loves a big screen. Definitely worth considering if you're not ready to splurge on the latest iPhone!

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 ... More6 Months Later update - Still acts like I bought it yesterday.

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.

This iPhone XS Max is the perfect Smart Phone. It’s ultra exceptional in every way, perfect functionality I would like the latest iphone 15 pro max when I get the chance

My husband gifted me this phone few years back. He gifted me in rose gold color which is so beautiful. You can never go wrong with iPhone when it comes to performance. The battery life is amazing. iPhone is known for its camera quality, battery life and security. The user interface is great. I enjoy using Apple products whether it is Laptops, iPads, Phones or AirPods. They are on the expensive side when it comes to pricing but they are totally worth the money.

Do your research on company before buying!!

I brought an iPhone XS Max and even though it was second hand I expected everything to work as it should …. Turned on the phone and was greeted with the message “ unknown battery” which is a first for me even though I have had quite a few second hand apple phones…. Then after a few days the screen kept freezing and the only way to get it working again would be to turn it off this went on for a week and despite calling gadcet and being assured I would be able to return through phone using the repair return label that was going to be emailed to me…. It wasn’t and I have not been able to contact anyone so am now having to buy another handset ….. if I had the choice again I wouldn’t shop with gadcet and would use music magpie/ mazuma mobile

Upgrade from Flip Phone

So far so good. This iPhone is a upgrade for my elderly mother from a Flip phone. The only issue I had was trying to Airdrop several contacts to her from my iPhone. Overall, the screen is large enough for her. She is getting use to using Siri for commands. The phone arrived in a timely manner. The setup was easy. Since it will be used mainly for calls and texting the battery life is good.

You get what you pay for.

I paid 1/3 if the original price so I can’t complain too much. This was a refurbished phone and unlocked. The outside was perfect no damage. The screen ha some strange line on the left side that cuts off the first two letters of every word on the left side of the screen so hard to read like Facebook posts lol. I had straight talk I know over ten years never any problem. This my first time with an unlocked phone but the WiFi is now 6 out of 10. A lot of time it don’t work even with my data in. But I got plenty storage so that’s a big plus.
