Apple iPhone 14 Pro, 128GB, Deep Purple – Unlocked (Renewed)

I don’t like

First off, the the phone was delivered in a box inside of a box with no paper, no styrofoam, no bubblewrap, nothing. It was just flopping around inside of the box. That really set the mood for the rest of my experience.

Secondly, there was no paperwork, just an iPhone and a charger, absolutely zero documentation of any kind. Sure it’s easy to set up an iPhone and you don’t really need any documentation to do so, but I’d at least like to know who sent me my product.

Third, once the iPhone was set up it seemed to be in great condition. However the more I used it the more I realized it was junk. The display was absolutely not 120hz, it barely looked 60hz, but that may have been because the operating system of the iPhone was running very poorly, probably because it has been repaired with cheap, non-genuine parts. The front facing camera had very poor picture quality, so much so that the facial recognition refused to work for me. The touch screen was absolutely awful. My shattered iPhone 11 is easier to use. When scrolling, it would jump along without being able to smoothly follow my finger. Typing was a hassle because it would struggle to register my taps, and when it did it often input double characters and whatever letter was near what I was tapping. Good luck trying to type a password with that phone. Oh, and the battery health was a nice 70% when I checked it.

Lastly, I don’t know who the actual merchant is for this product. Depending on which options you choose, you’ll end up buying from a different merchant. Before purchasing my product it said it was sold by Amazon.com, now with the exact same options it says it’s DirectCertified. My order also says it was sold by DirectCertified, but at the time of purchase it said Amazon.com.

Do NOT waste your money or your time with this merchant. I didn’t walk, I RAN to my carrier and traded in this pile of garbage. I could have dealt with one or two of the problems since it was refurbished, but for the price and for this being a “Refurbished – Excellent” product, I found it to be absolutely unacceptable.

Looks great functions great, I would have given it all the stars but I’m disappointed the battery health was only 87%, mostly because Amazon sent me a little checklist that was filled out with the phone that said they guarantee that their renewed phones have a battery health of 90% or higher. I know 87% is pretty close, but I was lied to so that’s very disappointing, especially since the first phone I bought wasn’t even checked and they sent me a blacklisted one, thankfully they keep their word about returns though! I wouldn’t buy a renewer phone from any of the 3rd parties for that reason. Stick with Amazon because at least you can return it!

I just purchased this phone for the first time using Amazon renewed I was hesitant at first but took a chance. It said it was in excellent condition and I even so I was expecting some minor scratches but to my surprise it looked like brand new! Everything is fully operational and battery life was over 90%
I highly recommend and would do it again.

Great could be better

I recently bought the iPhone 14 Pro, and it works wonderfully with its sleek design, vibrant display, and impressive camera.

However, it arrived with glue on the screen and minor scratches on the edges. These cosmetic issues were disappointing for a new device.

Despite this, after cleaning, the phone performs excellently. It’s smooth, with great battery life and innovative features.

In summary, the iPhone 14 Pro is fantastic in performance, but the initial quality issues need addressing.
