Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
iPhone 13, midnight, 256gb, unlocked version, seller = DirectCertified. I ordered 2 for my kids. Both phones were practically same condition.
Cosmetic - One phone had a very tiny stress fracture on the screen that measured approx 1" across. It was only noticeable at direct light and 6" away. After laying a screen protector, it is not noticeable. Both iphones had 1-2 tiny knicks on the screen. Again, both are only noticeable up front and after laying a screen protector, it is barely noticeable. The casings on both were near flawless. I can tell the previous owners used screen protectors and cases with longevity in mind. I grade both phones a 95% on appearance and like new cosmetically.
Battery - One phone had 85% and other had 86%. A bit on the lower end but its all a gamble going the refurbished route. Not bad enough for me to deal with doing an exchange and take a chance I may get a worse condition phone. I suspect its the original batteries in these 2 units.
Function - speaker is loud, face ID works, touchscreen is good, sidebar buttons all work, rear and front cameras are clear, everything works as it should. Doesn't seem to have aftermarket parts used on these phones as there is no pop up notification indicating so. I suspect everything on these 2 phones were original.
I will update this review after few weeks of use. I am more curious on battery life so we'll see...
