Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, 512GB, Desert Titanium - Unlocked (Renewed)

Ok, I’m a galaxy gal with a S25 Ultra phone. People tell me try Apple’s iPhone, and I put it off for more than 12 years. However, I do own 2 Apple Mac Minis, and I like the computers. Well, I looked up iPhones on Amazon and other sites and came across this iPhone 16 Max Pro with 8 gig ram and 1 terabyte storage for just a little over 900 dollars. A lot of money for an iPhone that’s a year old I thought. So I took the risk and made the purchase. When I got the package in the mail I hesitated even opening the box and contemplated just returning it back without giving it a chance. Well, after opening the box and charging it up, I transferred my data over to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and it worked well and fairly easy too. I still wasn’t too impressed with the iPhone just yet, but I gave it a chance. As I began using it and saw the battery life was at 98 % I thought, WOW, nice iPhone with a pretty decent battery too. I also noticed it still has an Apple warranty until March of 2026. The phone is beautiful and works great thus far, but my niece said I should get the iPhone 17 Pro Max. So I looked it up and didn’t see why I should go into a 2k debt for an iPhone 17 pro max with a 1 terabyte storage drive. After all, my iPhone 16 Pro Max still gets another 6 years of updates on the iOS software. I have to say I still have time to return this iPhone, but, right now, this is a well made and solid purchase and I feel very comfortable with it after 2 weeks of use. I still have my android Galaxy S25 Ultra, and I’m gonna keep it too, but the seller of this iPhone certainly does ship out beautiful and quality iPhones to the buyers. No scratches or dings and a great battery life too. The item arrived with great packaging and I am impressed with this seller. Now my niece with the iPhone 17 pro max with 256 gig of storage loves her phone, she’s had it for about a month now, and yes,she paid more than me and I have a 1 terabyte storage drive on mine, and her first complaint about the iPhone 17 is, the aluminum casing gets scratched up easily forcing her to get a cover so she doesn’t have to look at the scratched up case on her new iPhone. The IPhone 16 Pro Max has a titanium frame that is solid, and I do have a case over it to protect it from drops or falls. Would I recommend this iPhone and seller on Amazon. ABSOLUTELY YES! Alyssa

I needed a new phone because I was fed up with my 15 that I'd gone el cheapo on. It was too small compared to the android I had switched from, and it didn't have enough storage space so it was to the point that I didn't even have space to install updates and that caused some weird things like my calendar events just disappearing. I'm not great at texting with my thumbs. My vision isn't what it used to be, I guess the pads of my thumbs aren't as full either. I struggled with texting so I tended to use the voice-to-text feature mostly. And even though they've been doing dictation software since the 90s, it's still pretty terrible. Don't get me started on the camera either. My android's camera blew the iPhone's out of the water and it was at least 3 years older. So, this 16 Pro Max phone hits on a few areas that I was looking to improve and it does it well. It's the largest screen they offer and comes with twice the storage. The voice-to-text seems to be somewhat better but still causes some frustration at times. The camera is much better but I'm still not sure if it's better than the old android. But now I have to talk about the fact that this is a "renewed" phone to begin with. I went with the "Renewed Premium" because I wanted as close to a new phone as possible but without spending all that money. I considered this the last chance I would give to Apple before I switched back to Android - I didn't want to pay a fortune to find out that I was still unsatisfied - and this seemed the best route to take. I was not disappointed. Other than not coming in an iPhone box, there wasn't the slightest clue that it was not a new phone, cosmetically. I had no issues getting it set up - I mean it was crazy easy using the tools / instructions that you can find just by going into AI mode on a Google search. I love my phone now. My old mantra was "I hate this phone" or "This phone is a piece of ..." . I had dreams of running it over with my car. I haven't had any issue with the functionality of this renewed phone either. I'm finding a lot of features that are endearing me to the brand too. I don't have to worry about storage, I have a larger screen (but I'm still not that much better at texting), and I'm dealing with the voice to text still. But as far as the product I received, I'm soooo very happy I went this route. Now for the thing that I really was disappointed about. The trade-in value of my old phone (which was in excellent condition) is about $35 less than I would have gotten through Apple - but they only sell the most current version of a Pro Max phone, so I couldn't have gotten the 16 Pro Max through them anyway as the 17 model was already out in stores. When I was working with my budget I thought that the $275 would be taken off the price of the phone but I can see now how naive it was to think that. They're not going to give you money for a phone upfront, sight unseen. So I just figured that it would work out since they would apply the credit back to the card once they'd received and checked out my trade-in. Ooooh was I mistaken! First of all, they do not treat it like a refund where they add the funds to your original method of payment. Instead, you get Amazon credit. And by credit, I mean that you can ONLY spend that money on Amazon. You cannot buy a gift card offered on Amazon for another store (for example, Best Buy), you cannot even get an Amazon gift card with it. I needed the funds to go towards my car stereo that I was planning to buy at a different store (because they install it for free as long as I purchase it from them) but I wasn't permitted to use the credit on that. I thought that maybe I could get it in a Amazon gift card, and then get my friend to buy that from me. Nope. If it weren't for the trade in process I would have been 100% happy with my purchase. It's only because this phone was exactly as described and pictured that I am happy. And ultimately, things worked out for me with the trade-in credit situation when my son was buying an eScooter and agreed to send me the money so I could purchase it from my account and apply that credit towards the purchase. So the moral of the story is that this renewed phone was a great route to go (I'm speaking to the Renewed Premium offerings), and I was very happy with the phone, both cosmetically and functionally. You just need to be fully aware of how the trade-in works (and its limitations) so you don't get frustrated in the end.

Arrived in pristine condition, no signs of usage at all. Came with 99% battery health, and everything works fine after two days of use. 10/10. Absolutely worth the price.

My mom wanted a bigger phone, so i figured I'd upgrade to a 16 Pro Max and give my mom my 14 Pro Max. Saw the renewed ones on Amazon and thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did! ZERO scratches or cosmetic damage. Looked brand new. Size is the same to my 14 PM. SOOOO easy to switch my data and phone number over. Quality is excellent. Checked out the battery life: still at 98% health for the battery! Best of all, it still has Apple care til Oct 2026 so I have tons of time in case anything funky happens. I haven't noticed any kind of lag at all, but I am genuinely impressed with how pristine this renewed iPhone is! Very happy I got it! it's working perfectly and my mom is happy with my 14 PM, so it really was worth it 10 out of 10! I also feel safer knowing that I have the Premium warranty on it through Amazon. This was a great purchase!

I bought the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max (US Version, 256GB, Black Titanium) in renewed condition, and overall I’m very satisfied. The phone does have some noticeable scratches on the upper and lower sides of the body, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. However, the display itself is in excellent condition with no issues. Once the phone is in a case, the scratches aren’t visible, and everything else works perfectly. Performance is fast and smooth, and the battery health is at 100%, which is impressive for a renewed device. Being fully unlocked is another big plus. A solid value overall — just expect some cosmetic wear.

Honestly, I’m really happy I decided to make this purchase for myself. I got the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max because I needed an upgrade but didn’t want to completely break the bank. The phone arrived exactly as described & in almost mint condition — no scratches on the screen or body at all (I got the renewed premium) & battery health was at 91%! The camera quality is amazing & definitely a noticeable upgrade from my previous phone. The connectivity has been great so far with fast service & Wi-Fi, & everything runs really smoothly. The phone unlock feature works perfectly & is super quick, which makes it really convenient to use throughout the day. I also love the larger screen size since I watch a lot of content on my phone — it makes videos & apps look so much better. It uses a USB-C charger which was included with the phone purchase (I was not expecting) , which is new for me, but I actually like it because it charges quickly & feels more modern. The phone itself feels very durable & well made. Overall, I’m really happy with the upgrade and glad I decided to go with this phone.

This renewed premium iPhone is great; looks new, battery charges to 100% and has zero issues. BUT this is the second renewed premium iPhone I ordered. I had to return the first one because it was defective (return was accepted without a problem). That being said, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Premium Powerhouse That Nearly Hits Perfection. After using the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max (US Version, 1TB, Black Titanium – Unlocked Renewed Premium) for several weeks as my daily driver, I’m ready to share what stands out and where it falls slightly short. This renewed premium model delivers much of the flagship experience at a better price point than new, but there are a few compromises worth noting. Design and Build Quality Apple’s Black Titanium finish feels exquisite and substantially more durable than glossy glass. The weight and heft feel reassuring without being cumbersome for everyday use. The Renewed Premium condition I received was impressive with no noticeable scratches or blemishes, and the device felt indistinguishable from new out of the box. The large display and premium materials maintain Apple’s reputation for class-leading industrial design. Display The Super Retina XDR display on the 16 Pro Max remains one of the best on the market. Colors are vivid, contrast is deep, and brightness is excellent even outdoors. Streaming videos and gaming on this 6.7-inch panel was immersive, and ProMotion made scrolling buttery smooth. For media consumption and productivity, it’s a standout feature that justifies the device’s flagship status. Performance With Apple’s latest silicon under the hood and a massive 1TB storage configuration, this iPhone handles everything I threw at it with ease. Multitasking, editing 4K video on the go, and playing demanding games were all fluid and responsive. The extra storage is a real benefit for power users who shoot lots of video or maintain large app libraries. Performance hasn’t shown any signs of slowing during my time with it. Camera System The triple-lens camera array continues to impress. Daylight shots were sharp, detailed, and true to life. Night mode and computational photography made low-light shots usable and often surprising. Video recording is excellent with stabilization and color accuracy that rivals dedicated cameras. That said, incremental improvements over last year’s model mean that if you already own a 15 Pro Max, the leap might feel modest rather than revolutionary. Battery Life Battery life has been strong, comfortably lasting a full day of heavy use, including navigation, streaming, and photography. Charging speeds are adequate but not industry-leading — still typical of Apple’s measured approach. Wireless charging and MagSafe accessories worked reliably throughout my usage. Software Experience iOS continues to be smooth, intuitive, and well optimized for the hardware. The unlocked status made switching carriers seamless, and everything from setup to daily interaction felt polished. Apple’s long-term software support remains one of the most compelling reasons to choose an iPhone. Renewed Model Considerations As a Renewed Premium unit, this phone represents excellent value compared to buying new. Condition was superb and performance indistinguishable from brand-new units. However, buyers should always be mindful of warranty terms and return policies when purchasing renewed electronics, since coverage can vary by seller. Final Thoughts The iPhone 16 Pro Max in this renewed premium configuration hits the majority of marks you’d want: stunning display, strong performance, long battery life, and a best-in-class camera system. It falls just short of perfection due to incremental updates over previous models and the usual premium price, but when purchased as a Renewed Premium unit, it delivers flagship power and storage at a more accessible price point. I confidently give it four stars.
