Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, US Version, 1TB, Desert Titanium - Unlocked (Renewed)

Ok, I’m a galaxy gal with a S25 Ultra phone. People tell me try Apple’s iPhone, and I put it off for more than 12 years. However, I do own 2 Apple Mac Minis, and I like the computers. Well, I looked up iPhones on Amazon and other sites and came across this iPhone 16 Max Pro with 8 gig ram and 1 terabyte storage for just a little over 900 dollars. A lot of money for an iPhone that’s a year old I thought. So I took the risk and made the purchase. When I got the package in the mail I hesitated even opening the box and contemplated just returning it back without giving it a chance. Well, after opening the box and charging it up, I transferred my data over to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and it worked well and fairly easy too. I still wasn’t too impressed with the iPhone just yet, but I gave it a chance. As I began using it and saw the battery life was at 98 % I thought, WOW, nice iPhone with a pretty decent battery too. I also noticed it still has an Apple warranty until March of 2026. The phone is beautiful and works great thus far, but my niece said I should get the iPhone 17 Pro Max. So I looked it up and didn’t see why I should go into a 2k debt for an iPhone 17 pro max with a 1 terabyte storage drive. After all, my iPhone 16 Pro Max still gets another 6 years of updates on the iOS software. I have to say I still have time to return this iPhone, but, right now, this is a well made and solid purchase and I feel very comfortable with it after 2 weeks of use. I still have my android Galaxy S25 Ultra, and I’m gonna keep it too, but the seller of this iPhone certainly does ship out beautiful and quality iPhones to the buyers. No scratches or dings and a great battery life too. The item arrived with great packaging and I am impressed with this seller. Now my niece with the iPhone 17 pro max with 256 gig of storage loves her phone, she’s had it for about a month now, and yes,she paid more than me and I have a 1 terabyte storage drive on mine, and her first complaint about the iPhone 17 is, the aluminum casing gets scratched up easily forcing her to get a cover so she doesn’t have to look at the scratched up case on her new iPhone. The IPhone 16 Pro Max has a titanium frame that is solid, and I do have a case over it to protect it from drops or falls. Would I recommend this iPhone and seller on Amazon. ABSOLUTELY YES! Alyssa

I needed a new phone because I was fed up with my 15 that I'd gone el cheapo on. It was too small compared to the android I had switched from, and it didn't have enough storage space so it was to the point that I didn't even have space to install updates and that caused some weird things like my calendar events just disappearing. I'm not great at texting with my thumbs. My vision isn't what it used to be, I guess the pads of my thumbs aren't as full either. I struggled with texting so I tended to use the voice-to-text feature mostly. And even though they've been doing dictation software since the 90s, it's still pretty terrible. Don't get me started on the camera either. My android's camera blew the iPhone's out of the water and it was at least 3 years older. So, this 16 Pro Max phone hits on a few areas that I was looking to improve and it does it well. It's the largest screen they offer and comes with twice the storage. The voice-to-text seems to be somewhat better but still causes some frustration at times. The camera is much better but I'm still not sure if it's better than the old android. But now I have to talk about the fact that this is a "renewed" phone to begin with. I went with the "Renewed Premium" because I wanted as close to a new phone as possible but without spending all that money. I considered this the last chance I would give to Apple before I switched back to Android - I didn't want to pay a fortune to find out that I was still unsatisfied - and this seemed the best route to take. I was not disappointed. Other than not coming in an iPhone box, there wasn't the slightest clue that it was not a new phone, cosmetically. I had no issues getting it set up - I mean it was crazy easy using the tools / instructions that you can find just by going into AI mode on a Google search. I love my phone now. My old mantra was "I hate this phone" or "This phone is a piece of ..." . I had dreams of running it over with my car. I haven't had any issue with the functionality of this renewed phone either. I'm finding a lot of features that are endearing me to the brand too. I don't have to worry about storage, I have a larger screen (but I'm still not that much better at texting), and I'm dealing with the voice to text still. But as far as the product I received, I'm soooo very happy I went this route. Now for the thing that I really was disappointed about. The trade-in value of my old phone (which was in excellent condition) is about $35 less than I would have gotten through Apple - but they only sell the most current version of a Pro Max phone, so I couldn't have gotten the 16 Pro Max through them anyway as the 17 model was already out in stores. When I was working with my budget I thought that the $275 would be taken off the price of the phone but I can see now how naive it was to think that. They're not going to give you money for a phone upfront, sight unseen. So I just figured that it would work out since they would apply the credit back to the card once they'd received and checked out my trade-in. Ooooh was I mistaken! First of all, they do not treat it like a refund where they add the funds to your original method of payment. Instead, you get Amazon credit. And by credit, I mean that you can ONLY spend that money on Amazon. You cannot buy a gift card offered on Amazon for another store (for example, Best Buy), you cannot even get an Amazon gift card with it. I needed the funds to go towards my car stereo that I was planning to buy at a different store (because they install it for free as long as I purchase it from them) but I wasn't permitted to use the credit on that. I thought that maybe I could get it in a Amazon gift card, and then get my friend to buy that from me. Nope. If it weren't for the trade in process I would have been 100% happy with my purchase. It's only because this phone was exactly as described and pictured that I am happy. And ultimately, things worked out for me with the trade-in credit situation when my son was buying an eScooter and agreed to send me the money so I could purchase it from my account and apply that credit towards the purchase. So the moral of the story is that this renewed phone was a great route to go (I'm speaking to the Renewed Premium offerings), and I was very happy with the phone, both cosmetically and functionally. You just need to be fully aware of how the trade-in works (and its limitations) so you don't get frustrated in the end.

Very good conditions. 100% battery life. No visible scratches and defects even looking at 10cm distance from the phone.

I originally bought the regular iPhone 16 and honestly hated it. I was planning to upgrade to the 17 Pro Max, but $1600 just wasn’t in my budget right now. Instead I decided to grab a renewed iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB of storage for about half the price, and I’m honestly really happy with it. Performance is great, the screen is beautiful, and having 1TB of storage feels amazing if you take a lot of photos or download a lot of apps. It feels like a true flagship experience without paying the newest flagship price. The only downside is that I ordered the premium renewed option and it did arrive with some scratches on the bezel, which I wasn’t expecting for that condition tier. That said, once I put a case on the phone you can’t see them at all, and the screen and performance are perfect. Overall I’m really happy with the purchase. If you want a high-end iPhone with tons of storage but don’t want to pay the price of the newest model, going the renewed route can definitely be worth it.

Make sure you’re home! You have to be there to sign for it or you’ll have to wait the next day. Will update review once I have the phone in hand. Update: phone is in GREAT like Brand New condition even the battery is 100%. The package was shipped very carefully and nicely protected, and It came with a C type charger and block. Very happy with my purchase 😁 Just make sure to be home on the day it’s supposed to be delivered because you have to sign!

Screen has little dent but it is ok with a screen protecter Nice phone with 100% battery health

Impecable estética, batería al 100, funciona de maravilla

Good battery capacity Only some small scratched over the screen

Impecable. Producto en perfectas condiciones. Estéticamente como nuevo, sin imperfecciones o rayones, 100% de vida de batería. Llegó el mismo día. Demasiado satisfecha con mi compra. :D

La verdad al inicio tenía bastante miedo, sobre todo por el precio y porque pensé que podía ser una estafa. Pero para nada, fue todo lo contrario. El teléfono llegó en perfectas condiciones, con una estética de 10/10 y todavía con Apple Care activo. Me llevé una muy buena sorpresa y sin duda volvería a comprar. Súper recomendado.
