Review on πŸ’₯ Renewed Apple iPhone XS Max (64GB, Gold, US Version) for AT&T by Mohammed Prude

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A beautiful phone with amazing performance.

Update 6 months later - Still acts like it was bought yesterday. Everything is so smooth, fast and responsive, battery health is still great with no issues that I know of. I still have no regrets about this purchase and love this phone! (The original review is below.) First, I want to share my experience of buying a used phone. I was very hesitant about it. But Revain has a great returns policy so I figured if it's not what I expected I could always return it. It bothered me a lot in previous reviews that the phone was properly erased for customization. like a new iPhone, whether the phone was previously stolen, whether the phone is actually "unlocked", whether the storage capacity corresponds to what I ordered, or whether the phone was originally a genuine Apple product! I found light scratches on the front and back of the glass. That was of course to be expected. I'm very glad it's nothing serious. The stainless steel bracelet is flawless. I turned it on and it greeted me with Apple's famous multilingual "Hello" screen. And THANK YOU, the cell phone was wiped clean before the handover. I set it up with my Apple ID and went straight to settings. I checked the serial number on Apple's website. And was so happy that what I got was 100% genuine XS Max. I was also very happy that the storage was exactly what I ordered and that yes, the phone is unlocked. I also checked the battery status which is 98%. Leads me to believe that this phone was very rarely used before. Everything works, I'm thrilled! When I picked up the iPhone 8 Plus, I noticed that the phone feels just as good in the hand. But the smoothness of stainless steel only adds to its sense of superiority. And did I mention that gold is absolutely amazing!? I'm very glad I chose the XS Max over the 11 Pro Max. Mainly because of the rather strange design of the new camera. As a big Touch ID fan, I was very upset that I had to switch to Face ID. But honestly, it's actually a lot better than I expected. It's faster, safer, and more convenient when your phone just knows it's you. Now for performance. This phone excels at almost everything I ask of it. Games are faster and smoother than I've ever seen on mobile. (Even the Note 9 I had.) And the new OLED Super Retina display makes movies, videos, and photos look incredible. The black color is so dark that it blends perfectly with the external screen. The camera is amazing too. The photos are rich in detail and the colors are stunning. Overall, my used phone buying experience couldn't be smoother. I'm very happy with it! Just make sure you are buying from a seller with tons of great reviews and you will most likely be getting a genuine and legitimate product like me.
