If you are on the market looking for a 16 Pro Max, I suggest you to look for a used 15 Pro Max locally, lately they been going very cheap on my area ( Los Angeles, California) for around $400, yes that's very YMMV but worth the shot, look for it on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp

Only Apple official site has refurbished, all others are used.

The most reliable way to tell if a refurbished iPhone still has original Apple parts is to check its Parts & Service History in Settings. iOS will explicitly tell you whether each major component is Genuine, Unknown, Used, or Unverified.
✅ 1. Check Parts & Service History (iOS 15.2+)

This is the single most accurate, Apple‑verified method.
How to check:
  1. Open Settings → General → About
  2. Look for Parts and Service History
If the phone has ever been repaired, you'll see entries for components such as:
  • Battery
  • Display
  • Rear cameras
  • Front camera / TrueDepth system
  • Logic board (on newer models)
What the labels mean:
  • Genuine — Original Apple part, properly paired and calibrated.
  • Used — A genuine Apple part, but previously installed in another iPhone.
  • Unknown — Non‑genuine part, mismatched part, or calibration failed.
  • Unverified — Logic board replaced; may affect features like Apple Pay.
If the phone has never been repaired, this section will not appear at all.
✅ 2. Check the Model Number Prefix

This tells you how the device was originally sold (not whether parts were swapped later).
Go to Settings → General → About → Model Number.
Prefixes:
  • M — New retail unit
  • F — Apple‑refurbished
  • N — Apple replacement device
  • P — Personalized/engraved unit
This does not confirm original parts, but it helps you understand the device's origin.
✅ 3. Look for Signs of Third‑Party Refurbishment

If the seller is not Apple or a carrier, check for:
  • Non‑Apple packaging or missing accessories
  • Misaligned display, unusual color tint, or overly bright backlight
  • Battery health extremely low on a "refurbished" device
  • Face ID or Touch ID not working (common with non‑genuine parts)
  • Camera warnings or malfunction (Apple pairs cameras to the logic board)
These are indirect clues but often reveal unauthorized repairs.
✅ 4. Test Key Features That Break With Non‑Genuine Parts

Apple locks certain components to the logic board. If they were swapped improperly, you may see issues such as:
  • Face ID not working (front camera or sensors replaced)
  • True Tone missing (display not genuine)
  • Battery health not reporting correctly
  • Camera app errors (non‑genuine rear camera)
These failures strongly suggest non‑original parts.

purchased a regular refurbished 15 on Amazon through Woot on the 16th and it still hasn't shipped! price was even better on Amazon as well - $279. not sure why the discrepancy between that price and the $359-$419 listed directly on their site.

An iPhone 15 Plus for $389 felt good enough to roll the dice and hope for a good one. As long as it's not too beat up and the battery is decent, i'm happy with that. The Apple refurb of that same phone is currently $619, so that's a nice little discount. (I know Apple does a lot more to their phones than other refurb places).
My current phone is an iPhone 11 with pretty severe battery issues currently, so I'm assuming this will be quite an update for me.

If you did purchase from Woot go ahead and cancel and if they claim it's shipped just monitor to cancel asap. In the meantime purchase from Amazon.

They do. You get a fresh new battery and screen when you get an Apple refurb from Apple.

Used, not refurbished. Since these are on Woot, it means people returned more than once them because the battery was as dying. Not a good deal.

Take it up with Woot, they list Refurbished, that's what I post.
