If you want to purchase an iPhone, you have two options in front of you. The first one is that you spend a whole lot of money to buy a new iPhone or the second is that you spend less money and get a used iPhone. There is, however, another option in the form of refurbished mobile phones. Plus, by doing proper research, I came to the conclusion that buying the refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max is the best option in 2023.

But why is that? Why did I choose the refurbished 12 Pro Max instead of any older used mobile? Today, I’ll be covering these very questions and also giving you my explanation of why it’s the best iPhone you can get while living in Pakistan.

So, to reiterate, the topics of this article are:

• 5 aspects of the refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max to know in 2023
• Is it the best choice in Pakistan
• Where to get one at a lower price

Let’s start by covering the 5 aspects that I mentioned before.

5 Aspects of the Refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max to Know in 2023

Before we begin, I need to make some things clear. The information that I’ve gathered isn’t through personally buying and using a refurbished 12 Pro Max. I have used this device in the past but only for a short while because my friend lent it to me.

Plus, when I was planning to buy a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro, I made sure to gather as much information as I could regarding the entire lineup. Which also includes the pro max version. Many people don’t even really understand the whole concept of refurbished mobile phones. They’re basically pre-owned smartphones that have been sent back to the manufacturer after noticing some defect within the warranty period. Once the issue is resolved, the company puts the device up for sale again at a lower price point than before.

If you want to learn more about refurbished mobiles and how to take care of them, I recommend that you read “Taking Care Of A Refurbished Mobile Phone.” With that said, here are the 5 aspects of the 12 Pro Max that you should know.

1. Condition of the Phone

The very first thing that you should know about these smartphones is that, unlike a used mobile, a refurbished iPhone has gone through the proper inspection and repairs that the device might’ve needed. This means that the phone will be in perfect working order.

The device might have minute scuff marks, but they’re usually barely noticeable. The refurbished iPhone 12 Pro that I got had no visible scuff marks. The device was completely scratchless. Plus, all of its buttons (Screen lock, volume-up, volume-down) were in complete working condition.

However, it’s always a good practice to always inspect such a device when you buy one. Make sure that the screen is in complete working condition. All of the buttons are fully functional. And every port and speaker is working properly.

2. Price

The next thing that you should know about the device is its price. As I said before, these devices come at a lower price point than they originally came with. This is mainly because all of the devices that have been opened will lose their original value, and the same is also true for the 12 Pro Max.

However, don’t worry that there will be any compromises with the device. If you’re buying a refurbished iPhone that has been inspected by a reputable company, then you can rest assured that the phone will be in tip-top condition.

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed if you check out Wise Market Pk to learn more about the price of the 12 Pro Max.

3. Features

The features of this refurbished phone will be exactly the same as the original one, ensuring that you won’t get the short end of the stick. Just choose the variant you want of the 12 Pro Max, and you’ll get the same specs device.

Is It the Best Choice in Pakistan

Now, here’s the main question: is it the best choice in Pakistan? I’m going to explain this question with the help of my personal experience with buying a used iPhone and what I could gather from other sources.

When I first planned to buy a used or refurbished mobile phone in Pakistan, I did quite extensive research. I wasn’t originally planning to buy a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro. The used mobile that I planned on buying was the used iPhone XR.

I did the proper research, and the conclusion that I came to was that if I were planning to use it for the foreseeable future, I couldn’t go with that phone. There were several factors that played a role in this decision, but the main thing that swayed me from that choice was the battery health.

Since the iPhone X lineup was released in 2017 (around 6 years ago), the phone’s battery would have degraded too much for my personal use. I’m not putting down the phone in any way or form. I’m simply saying that since it was my first ever experience with an iOS device, I’m planning to use it for a few years. 

The battery health of the used iPhone XR won’t be near the recommended percentage, which is 80%. Anything below that, you won’t find any useful. Plus, this phone will only receive updates till 2024. However, if you’re on a budget and don’t mind a little low battery health, then I do recommend that you check it out. 

That’s why I went for the iPhone 12 lineup because not only did it promise to come with the best battery health possible at a quite reasonable price point. Since this lineup smartphone was released only 3 years ago, it’s the best possible option. You should go for the iPhone 11 lineup because I prefer the 12. Plus, the tech used in this lineup of the smartphone is still quite good compared to the older tech in the previous generation of smartphones. It comes with an amazing chipset, camera module, and much more.

So, I’ll conclude this long rant by saying that “Yes! It is a great choice in 2023.” This is because when it comes to spending money and getting the best tech, you won’t get a better choice than a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max. Additionally, you can also get a pair of Apple AirPods Pro MagSafe which is one of the best possible accessories (other than the Apple smartwatch) you can buy to enjoy the Apple ecosystem.

As I said before, the iPhone lineups are very expensive, and the same is also true for the 12, but what if I tell you that you can get one of the best-used iPhones on the market at a reasonable price point?
