Community Reviews

Amazon Renewed Premium iPhone 15 Pro Max deals can deliver near new phones at a lower price, with some arrivals showing clean cosmetics and battery health around 93 to 100 percent. The listing is fulfilled by Amazon, and the one year return, refund, or replacement policy adds some protection if the phone is not as described. The main concerns are inconsistent condition, uncertain battery health and cycle count, and possible third party involvement on renewed listings. A solid option if the savings matter more than absolute certainty.

  • Renewed Premium purchases include a 1-year return, refund, or replacement option for items not as described.

  • Some Renewed Premium arrivals have been reported as basically new with no visible scratches and strong battery health.

  • The Renewed Premium listing can be fulfilled by Amazon, which may reduce third-party mismatch risk.

  • Returns for cracked arrivals reportedly can be handled without major problems when the phone is sent back quickly.

  • Battery health and cycle count reportedly cannot be verified before purchase, which makes long-term expectations uncertain.

  • Renewed iPhones may arrive in poor condition when third parties are involved in the renewed process.

  • Renewed Premium can be hit-or-miss, including reports of non-genuine replacement parts.

  • Taking the phone apart for internal cleaning reportedly can affect water resistance, with concerns about losing IP68.

My family and I have bought five phones this way. Three arrived with cracks, but we returned them right away, no problem. The rest have absolutely no issues.

This one is not 3rd party. Seller/Shipper - Amazon. Renewed Premium (condition): 1 year return/refund/replacement.

With similar deal not long ago for Mac Studio, Amazon shipped brand new Macs, factory sealed.

I bought the 1TB renewed during Prime Day and it was pretty much brand new. Battery health is 93%

A 93% battery health on a Pro Max phone equates to 1+ years of heavy use. My 16 Pro Max (bought Dec 2024), that's charged every night from 30% to full, is at 100% battery health

I don't like the fact that they take it apart to clean the inside, which is unnecessary and no longer IP68!

Interesting, and how do you know this?
I guess maybe it does make sense, since my 14 Pro Max battery is at 83% and I have to charge it twice a day with mild to moderate usage.

You'd have to be the dumbest person alive to not spend $75 more and get a new iPhone 17.
A 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max is double the price of this. Certainly not $75 more.

You are not wrong about the logic of getting iphone 17 over this for 75 bucks more, but do you really need to say dumbest person alive? You don't know the circumstances of the people who are buying this. Maybe they need to long distance camera? Maybe they need bigger size iphone like my mom. Be considerate and courteous. We don't know what we don't know.
For the price difference between a regular iPhone and the Pro a person can buy a nice dedicated telephoto camera - Apple messed up their pricing with the latest Pro phone line. Hence, they advertise it as crazy all over and fund carrier deal packages with the Pro.

Same here - buy a regular iPhone 15/16 and IF you need a telephoto - use your dedicated telephoto camera which very likely will have better telephoto optics and photo quality anyway. I am a big supporter of a nice camera capability in a phone, but that has a price ceiling beyond which it makes no financial sense.

The Pro line appealed to business customers when corporately expensed up to $1000. Beyond that is a dead sale - due to expense policies, recent high tech layoffs (aka budgetary changes) etc. corporate environment.

Agree about cost. But for most people, even myself (an avid photographer, former professional) the phone is the main camera. I still have a nice camera, but I don't take it on trips, especially these days with how the airlines upcharge for everything. I travel as light as possible, which means no extra camera with chargers and cables etc.
'I'll only buy a phone with a telephoto camera, which limits to mainly expensive iPhone "pro" and Samsung unfortunately. ​

Agree, but you are not the mass market.

The mass market is absolutely not buying dedicated cameras so it's a bizarre suggestion for someone looking for a phone with a good camera

The "Pro" line is not a mass market phone.

This definitely not the case. There's a lot of sellers on their "Amazon renewed" section not always apparent. Also, not all phones have the year warranty stated here, some only have 90 days.
