Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, 128GB, Gold - Unlocked (Renewed)

Let me start off by saying the shipper (fed ex) made getting this phone an actual nightmare. BUT once I got it I was very happy to see they had replaced the battery. Fresh battery, factory reset, and unlocked. It came with a charger, as well as a simple case A few very minimal scratches in the body which should be expected with a used phone. Customer service was very kind and professional even when I was very frustrated with the shipper. I would buy again. And I’d recommend you do too.

“Excellent phone! The iPhone 13 Pro Max 256 GB works perfectly and has an amazing battery life. The camera quality is outstanding, the screen is bright and smooth, and the storage capacity is more than enough. The phone looks great and performs fast for everyday use. Highly recommended!”

Today is Wednesday, August 20, 2025. I’ve always wanted the iPhone 13 Pro Max in Alpine Green ever since it was released, so I decided to give this seller a chance despite the mixed reviews and their 4.5-star rating. I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max, Alpine Green, 256GB – Unlocked, Renewed (Excellent Condition). Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. First, the phone arrived a day late, even though I’m a Prime member (not necessarily the seller’s fault, but still frustrating). When I finally opened the package, the phone was the wrong color (Silver instead of Alpine Green) and had noticeable scratches and chips around the camera lens and aluminum frame. While some wear is expected on a refurbished phone, this was advertised as “Excellent Condition,” and I expected better. To be fair, I still tested the phone. I went into the settings to check everything: Verified the IMEI and serial number to ensure the device was legitimate. Confirmed it was fully unlocked with no SIM restrictions. Checked for any non-Apple parts — thankfully, everything appeared original. The phone’s functions worked well (Face ID, speakers, cameras, flash, vibration, etc.). The screen looked great with almost no scratches, the phone screen sensitivity could have been more proactive, and the back glass was in good condition. However, the biggest disappointment was the battery health: only 77%. According to Amazon’s “Renewed Excellent” standards, it should be at least 80%. For the price I paid, this was unacceptable. As a busy college student, I don’t have the time to send the phone back, but I do feel let down. I’ll likely have to spend another ~$100 to replace the battery at my university’s tech repair shop. Overall, I’m leaving 4 stars because the phone does function well and matches the storage capacity I ordered, but the wrong color, poor battery health, and condition not matching the description made this purchase very frustrating. My advice: check the IMEI, serial, SIM restrictions, and battery health right away when buying renewed iPhones, and read the reviews carefully before purchasing. P.S. I purchased a screen protector separately for extra protection. Also, note that the box only included a USB Lightning cable — no charging adapter. If you don’t already have one, I recommend buying an adapter or a complete charger along with the phone.

I can’t tell the difference between this phone and my 13 pro that I “bought” for free from my service provider except you don’t get wired earbuds which I don’t use anyway. Battery life, screen and lens glass are perfect and transfer was nearly automatic when placed next to my old phone. Didn’t even have to put in a SIM or call my provider, everything f just worked! I don’t often review but this product saved me about $400 using a new phone from provider. After I get my trade in total cost will have been about $330 all in plus $20 for a new case.

I wasn't really gonna write a review on this but I have to! I am amazed at how I got my phone in the condition it came in . it said excellent condition , and it really is . I am really picky with my electronics , always wanting them to look perfect , no scratches or bumps . and this did not fail me. no scratches at all on the screen and maybe some small ones in the back that you really had to look for but with a case on its not an issue. cameras were also not scratched and everything works, from the cameras , to the speakers and the whole software of the phone is good and up to date. the only flaw, was how it had 88% battery life. on the description it says that having up to 80% will still land it on excellent condition , so I can't knock a point because I knew, and getting a new battery will be about 90$ according to apple. I did talk to one of my buddies that works on phones and said he doesn't recommend me to replace the battery as it still is healthy. and I have been using it for a week and it really doesn't need one. I had an iPhone 12 and I used it almost every day at work playing videos on the background , and it would last me about 7-8 hours and then id have to charge it considering my work days are 10 hours. with this phone , I literally come out of work with about 40-65% battery still. all it all , this is great , it was one of the best prices I could find for a used iPhone 13 Pro Max and im am actually really satisfied with my purchase . I also stayed with the 13 instead of the newer ones because it has a SIM card tray still and because it does not have the dynamic island that the new ones have as I think it takes up more screen when watching videos compared to the small notch on the 13. I wish it did have the stabilizing camera feature for when I walk my dog and want to take stable videos , but I don't mind that . this phone when it came out was beloved by every one and I think its still a great buy for 2024.

Good phone. I would buy a refurbished newer iPhone from Amazon again! Worth the money

Aside from the phone being nearly perfect, no visible signs of wear and tear, no delays (after updating and restoring), unlocked, and the battery is good (84% health). (lengthy story and complaint incoming) However, (and hopefully this helps someone else who faces the same problem) I’m giving it 3 stars because I had the worse experience setting it up. Not to mention the charging cable that came with it didn’t work. Anyway, to the pressing issue here I did what I would normally do when setting up a new iPhone and followed the prompts to transfer my data through the cloud onto this device. However, due to the phone’s software being completely outdated (ios18, we’re on 26) it caused the phone to completely glitch out midway and got extremely hot. I couldn’t swipe up to input my passcode to proceed with the installation process. Heck, I couldn’t even force restart it. (quickly press the volume up, volume down immediately after and press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo) I was almost at my wits end. Fast forward, the device is still glitchy so I reached out to Amazon Customer Care and was advised that I should take it into Apple and if they couldn’t do anything then to proceed with returning it. I obviously didn’t wanna do that. So I attempted to research the issues and after being pulled between Apple’s forum and Reddit’s forum, I decided to put the iPhone in DFU mode. This mode allows you to update and restore the phone via a computer. So boom, it’s in DFU mode and i’m still struggling! So I contact Apple but of course before doing so I see if they’re able to replace a software defective device out of warranty and of course it was a hard no. At this point, I’m ready to give up and just return it but after letting it die out (due to overheating) I let it charge overnight and said “let’s give this oneee more try.” So, I plugged it back into my computer.. same issue. It would pretend to restore and update the device but I would get an error message midway and couldn’t get my phone out of DFU. Only way to get it out was by completing the restoration. Anyway, I looked up the error message it mentioned that it could be a software issue (tell me something i don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️) or it could be a charger cable issue.. Hmm 🤔 So I switched charging cables (even bought a new one that I would later use) and low and behold the update and restoration finally WORKED… So all in all, I say all of that to say; if you’re having issues with accessing and fully using your new iPhone. It’s more than likely because its software is extremely outdated. What worked for me: Put your phone in DFU mode (look it up if unsure how). Download either Apple Devices (Windows) or iTunes (Mac). While in DFU mode, plug the device up using a USB to lightning Apple Certified cable. A prompt will display saying error something would you like to proceed with restoring or updating? Click “restore” and then “update and restore” (for some reason it didn’t work clicking update first) it’ll take some time but after that it should go through the process of updating and restoring back to the factory settings and then you can proceed with setting the iPhone up as normal. (important!!! the cable needs to be APPLE CERTIFIED not the one from sheetz up the street) I haven’t experienced any delays or issues since updating to the latest version of iOS but i’m giving 3 stars because 1.) the charger it came with didn’t work. and 2.) because i feel like a little help card should’ve been included considering it didn’t have the latest version of iOS on there. Hopefully, TalkTek takes this review into consideration to include a little note in the packaging on updating the device.

Not a scratch on it. Works great.

Excelente compra

Bought it some days ago and couldn't be happier. In the past, I had iPhone 8+ (great phone), then iPhone X (the worst iPhone out there - overheating like hell), now this one. It arrived super quickly (Canadian express post - thank you so much, dear seller, you're the best!!). In the package there was a wall charger and a cable. Headphones not included, but no harm at all, coz I do not need them. The phone is just like from an Apple store - no scratches, no marks of previous using, absolutely nothing. Battery life is on 95%, which is spectacular. The phone itself is very nice, ultra smooth, slightly heavier than its predecessors, but it does not matter at all (at least to me personally). 1 TB of storage is amazing, for the price it is a must buy!! Highly recommend!!

Tenía muchas dudas e inseguridades por comprar un iPhone reacondicionado en Amazon, desde que llegara un ladrillo, hasta que llegara en malas condiciones. Pues hoy llego el iPhone sin ningún daño estético aparente, cámaras sin rayones, marcos limpios, pantalla limpia, batería al 83% (cumple con lo prometido) 1TB de almacenamiento, las cámaras funcionan Perfecto, el Face ID también, las bocinas suenan muy bien, de momento parece ser una excelente compra, si surge algún detalle actualizare la reseña, pero EN MI CASO, entregan exactamente lo que venden Vendedor:BuySpry

I bought this phone for my wife about 8 months ago. A few weeks ago the phone said it didn't recognize the battery and stopped charging. Then it couldn't even be powered on. I took it to the Apple Store to hopefully get the battery replaced, but the technician said it was an issue with the phone being defective and the repair would be about $800 (more than what I paid for the phone in the first place). Both Amazon and this seller are unable to help me out because it was more than 3 months ago. Unlike our lucky friends in Europe where they are protected for a year, we get absolutely screwed here in Canada apparently. Amazon Renewed Program and this seller are a complete joke.
