Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, 64GB, Space Gray – Unlocked (Renewed) by Amazon Renewed

The iPhone Is in very good if not perfect conditions , price was fair, very happy .

Okay Reviewers I ordered this IPhone 11 Pro Max off of my sons prime account.. This is one bad ass phone! And I got a great deal from this amazing company! Shipping was on point! And this phone OMG perfect! Like it came from Apple! If I didn’t know it was refurbished? I would have thought it was never touched! That’s how perfect it is! I felt like a child at Christmas! Stoked! So, definitely would and will buy from this company again! Thank you for your loyalty to your customers! Super excited! Placed it in a case as soon as I looked at it .
Okay about the iPhone 11 Pro Max .. outside of it’s beauty . Wish I could take a picture of it , but i can’t . I’m on it..
the 11 is holding its value for great reasons .. it really is a bad ass phone !! And the 12’s are nice but the 11’s sit right next to those 12’s ! But cheaper in price but the quality is all the same!
The pictures are amazing!!! ( FYI My son has the 12 My sister 12 pro and brother in law has 12 pro Max ) so pictures are not so noticeably different.. cause this 11 pro Max takes great photos also and the battery life is awesome ! 24 hrs no charge and still had life left! I have charged it with the cord charging ( it came with a good charging cord not junk) and I also have charged it with the magnetic cordless charging.. about the same.
I have not done the face recognition as of yet.. I use a passcode.. I do miss the finger / thumb recognition button but from what I see with my son ? Face recognition is prob just as fast or faster?
The speakers on this is loud! Love it!
Now yes this is a bigger device it is a 6.5 in screen but it’s not bulky at all ! The phone is slender not heavy but a case did help tremendously holding it cause it’s so thin.. haha i dont know how to explain that one but I Dont know to drop it haha so a case helps to grip it .. if that makes sense ? Lol
But with the cheaper price tag ? I was able to get the highest GB and still save a few hundred’ dollars!
I did my research cause I was looking at this phone for a while and then was gearing for the 12 pro Max for it has 3 or 4 better features. But After comparing and deep research? What was being said is true! The 11’s are amazing phones! And unless your a Photographer? You won’t see a inkling of a difference with the camera or video.. the processor in the 11’s are also fast and made right! Apple surly did a great job with the 11’s !!! So again for what you get and with that price tag ? You can’t go wrong with the Iphome 11 pro Max! I’m freaking happy I got one heck of a deal ! I love the look ,the quality, how fast it responds, the pictures, the battery life, the features, and the company that I bought it from! Hope this helps with someone’s research and decision making!

Update (12/17/23): Additional observations: 1) the Amazon Renewed certification card is marked 10/27/23, and when I received it 12/2/23 (about 5 weeks), the battery was completely dead; 2) after charging back to 100%, I put it in airplane mode (to turn off both WiFi and bluetooth), and also put it in battery saver mode; I checked the battery percentages once a day, and it was losing 10-15% per day, so this battery is very weak. I did a parallel test with another iPhone (11 pro max), and that one only lost 10% (100% > 90%) over a week. This is an excellent test to check the true condition of the battery.

Update (12/15/23): Ordered a 5th Amazon Premium Renewed phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max), and the battery life, which should be above 90%, is actually 88%.

Update (3/28/23): After lengthy discussions with Amazon, they will not honor the 90% battery guarantee stated on the Amazon Premium Renewed page, because it is “not stated on the Amazon invoice”. 1-star, no longer recommended.

Update (2/1/23): Ran into some issues, probably things that should be checked upon receipt of a renewed or premium renewed product: 1) battery life [below advertised 80 or 90%], 2) parts replaced, either with genuine or non-genuine Apple parts, 3) overall functionality [defective charging port]. Reducing overall rating to 4-stars.

Summary: Upgrading from an iPhone 7 plus, and decided I would go with the 11 Pro Max version. I was on the fence whether the extra money for the premium renewed is worth it, so will be discussing what I considered.

Observations: The high level basic differences are: 1) about a $100 difference; 2) three vs. 12 months return period: 3) battery level of 80% vs. 90%.

Recommendation: After considering the factors, I decided to look into how much a replacement battery would cost, which is $40 right now. However, starting with the iPhone 8 (i think), Apple started sealing the cases, which requires a heat gun to separate the case because of the extra waterproofing adhesive. To breakdown the addition $100 cost, subtract the $40 battery from that, leaving $60 for an additional 9-months (or $6.67/month) to “insurance” to return the phone if issues come up.

Carrier Lock: I decided I wanted an unlocked version, and that appears to be another feature that is included with Premium Renewed, with the majority of carrier locked versions being offered as renewed only.

Conclusion: For the additional $100, I elected to go with the Renewed Premium. I rate both the Renewed and the Premium Renewed as 5-stars. Which you chose would depend on individual financial and personal factors.

This is the 3rd iPhone 11 Pro Max I ordered in the last month but not from this company. However it is the 2nd phone overall and both my previous iPhone 6S and this worked as they were supposed to. The other company sent me a phone with a bad head phone speaker that had terrible sound and I had to return it. Of course I didn’t find out the speaker was bad until my fist call. I then had to remove all my data before I sent it back and that was a real hassle. The 2nd iPhone I got from a 2nd company wasn’t fully unlocked and I had to send it back also! This company had the first phone that actually worked and was like they said in their ad. Good battery life 98%. The only thing I would suggest that this company does before they send their phones out is to charge them! Took me 2 hours to charge the phone up before I could restore it and update the OS. Came with only about 7% battery power left, and when it is that low it takes a long time to charge up. Still this seems to be a good phone after only a week of use.
