Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, 256GB, Space Gray - Unlocked (Renewed)

This proved to be a very wise buy for me. I bought it cheaper than I saw from other sellers. The battery life was at 100% when I bought it. All other features were at optimum levels. I am quite happy with the purchase.

This iPhone 11 Pro Max is Good.The only problem is that I can’t use emoji. I have to install some keyboard to get it.Probably because I don’t know how to settle it but I checked it in settings and didn’t find anything to activate it. Besides that, everything looks great.

Everything worked perfectly! It’s like my old phone but with more memory as I could no longer download the new upgrade software.

Update (12/17/23): Additional observations: 1) the Amazon Renewed certification card is marked 10/27/23, and when I received it 12/2/23 (about 5 weeks), the battery was completely dead; 2) after charging back to 100%, I put it in airplane mode (to turn off both WiFi and bluetooth), and also put it in battery saver mode; I checked the battery percentages once a day, and it was losing 10-15% per day, so this battery is very weak. I did a parallel test with another iPhone (11 pro max), and that one only lost 10% (100% > 90%) over a week. This is an excellent test to check the true condition of the battery.Update (12/15/23): Ordered a 5th Amazon Premium Renewed phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max), and the battery life, which should be above 90%, is actually 88%.Update (3/28/23): After lengthy discussions with Amazon, they will not honor the 90% battery guarantee stated on the Amazon Premium Renewed page, because it is "not stated on the Amazon invoice". 1-star, no longer recommended.Update (2/1/23): Ran into some issues, probably things that should be checked upon receipt of a renewed or premium renewed product: 1) battery life [below advertised 80 or 90%], 2) parts replaced, either with genuine or non-genuine Apple parts, 3) overall functionality [defective charging port]. Reducing overall rating to 4-stars.Summary: Upgrading from an iPhone 7 plus, and decided I would go with the 11 Pro Max version. I was on the fence whether the extra money for the premium renewed is worth it, so will be discussing what I considered.Observations: The high level basic differences are: 1) about a $100 difference; 2) three vs. 12 months return period: 3) battery level of 80% vs. 90%.Recommendation: After considering the factors, I decided to look into how much a replacement battery would cost, which is $40 right now. However, starting with the iPhone 8 (i think), Apple started sealing the cases, which requires a heat gun to separate the case because of the extra waterproofing adhesive. To breakdown the addition $100 cost, subtract the $40 battery from that, leaving $60 for an additional 9-months (or $6.67/month) to "insurance" to return the phone if issues come up.Carrier Lock: I decided I wanted an unlocked version, and that appears to be another feature that is included with Premium Renewed, with the majority of carrier locked versions being offered as renewed only.Conclusion: For the additional $100, I elected to go with the Renewed Premium. I rate both the Renewed and the Premium Renewed as 5-stars. Which you chose would depend on individual financial and personal factors.Related Products:Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, US Version, 256GB, Midnight - Unlocked (Renewed)4.3 out of 5 stars 12,122 ratings | 1000+ answered questionsPrice: $491.86https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z4681LQ/Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, 256GB, Midnight Green - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)4.3 out of 5 stars 12,122 ratings | 1000+ answered questionsPrice: $586.00https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BHFGJXF

This phone looks nice, really, honestly. The phone was neatly packaged and wrapped, came with a charger and a sim card opener + the amazon renewed paper. It had a couple scratches on the sides but they were very minor & not noticeable at all. The screen was very clear no cracks. My only issue is the screen when it’s turned on. It had this weird mild & subtle static & I can see a faint black grain when I am staring closely to the phone. Now I understand this phone is refurbished & renewed but I won’t lie the screen when I have the phone on really bugs me. I would be lying if I said I am totally satisfied with this phone. Not to mention the phone is kinda slow, it lags & the battery life I received when I when I went to the settings was at an 80 % .. *sighs* , trying to decide if I should thug it out & be delusional or just send the phone back even tho I fear the quality of phone I’d received next. I’ve contacted the seller .. I haven’t heard anything yet. I’ll update soon.Update :Ive decided to return the phone because I feel like I would be settling if I had to keep this phone. I will say though I am surprised the phone came in a very good condition. But truly there were internal hardware and software issues in terms of the static screen flickering/blinking that I just couldn't overlook. The seller has been responsive and cooperative. I am thankful. I pray I get my money back on time. As of right now id rate my experience an 8/10 !

Still currently using this phone. Works great!

Phone works perfectly Even the battery health was at 90

Practically brand new! It even came with a screen protector on already, and I am super thankful for that (it's the little things that make all the difference). I'm a very detail-oriented person and a perfectionist, and I didn't see any micro scratches or anything that made me wary of it. The only tiny downside is that I noticed the battery drains a little quicker than normal, but that is to be expected since it's a renewed phone. It honestly doesn't bother me, though, if at all. If someone is looking for perfect though, spend the extra cash and get the 'renewed premium' instead of just 'renewed'. I feel I got a good deal for the quality of the phone. Price is super reasonable. Camera is definitely better than my other phone (xs max). Everything feels essentially better by a small amount. I have no regrets so far!
