Apple iPhone XS, 256GB - Space Grey (Renewed)

Was skeptical paying £170 for an iphone xs in 2024 considering they were £1000+ once upon a time so i tempered my expectationsMy old xs finally gave in after 3 years so i wanted another one as i think its the peak of the Iphones and went with a refurbished oneThe condition was rated at "excellent" but i was still expecting some kind of visible or even performance wear n tear. Honestly there isnt a single scratch or mark anywhere on the phone at all. The performance and the battery are as if they were brand new. Its impossible to believe its a refurbished phone. absolutely struck gold with this find

The XS 256GB phone was bought from Dig 'n Delve for a very reasonable 158GBP. Unfortunately the phone has a major issue in that the battery that is installed is not Apple approved leading to the /Unknown Part/ message under Battery Health and Charging. Also the phone was supplied without any PIN and just powering on the phone did not involve the traditional Hello, Language selection followed by the important ACTIVATION step to Apple's servers. In fact should I use the Settings , Reset iPhone, Erase All option I wonder what the reboot situation will be. I'm not going to find out, I am returning the phone and suggest that anybody else who receives such a product do so also. Also note the XS Model number is an unusual NT9H2ZD/A not starting MT. At the time of writing Dig 'n Delve claim the item is supplied is fine i.e. ignoring my complaint about the battery and so won't pay for return postage, even though I pressed the return key within 30 minutes of receiving this item.

This was the first time I bought a refurbished / refurbished phone and so I was careful about its quality. After buying this refreshed phone, I am very satisfied with its quality, it is free of blemishes, scratches and scratches, and it still works great, although I have only had the device for a few days. The service was also great, my phone arrived just a few days after purchase.

I got the product and it was in perfect condition. No scratches or anything on the body which did really surprise me. The only problem was that the battery health was at 83% but for what is basically a half price phone, even in October 2020, this isn’t too much of an issue. It’s still worth it even if I have to replace the battery. Would recommend if you want a top phone on a smaller budget.Face Recognition is insanely fast i was very surprised as i’m used to the touch ID on older apple phones. However for anyone using this for apple pay, it doesn’t work with a mask on so you’ll have to type your passcode.OLED screen is fantastic and I would say it’s the best feature of the phone. However for those who aren’t too bothered by this you may not really notice too much difference from the LCD screens on the lower market iPhones.Doesn’t come in Original packaging and doesn’t come with the earphones for anyone wondering. It did include a charging brick and charging cable.I personally love the 3D touch on this phone that they removed on the iPhone 11 range if that’s something that you enjoy.I was slightly worried when i ordered it but that it would come and not be in a good condition. However after using this for a few days i can confirm that this is an all round good buy and would recommend. Would have given 5 stars if the batter health was above 95%.

I’m an apple fan so I have no bad things to say about this phone’s functionality but what has surprised is the quality of this refurbished phone alongside Amazon’s 1 year return warranty. It looks and behaves like new with no scratches whatsoever, 93% battery health and its oled screen gives such good colours. My old iPhone 8 was great but the stereo speakers on this XS produce much better sound and watching movies is a pleasure (2 1/2 hour marvel movies). Because it’s SIM only I’ve not had to enter into an expensive 2 year contract so the savings just get better.I read varying reviews on refurbished phones but quite simply if this is what they’re all like, I’ll be buying second hand from Amazon again.

Nice modern iPhone. Working well

I wrote to the same company throughout February - May regard firstly my Daughters phone which stopped working and then the second phone I purchased for me.I was asked for photos I replied with photos.The company asked me to send again so I sent again.This tedious process of re-requesting photos avoiding me like the plague made me give up.Coming close to Christmas I hope nobody else loses money to these people and maybe even Amazon being the largest company in the world could help me resolve as I am a faithful member for many years?

Ordered this to replace an old phone, it arrived very quickly and was very good value for what I spent.After a little mishap, I had to send it back as the screen had stopped working and the customer service was excellent.I would highly recommend this seller.
