Have you had a bad experience with Refurbs? Where did you buy it from? I'm taking suggestions! In the future, I'm going to buy multiple devices so these tests can be more accurate. Ie - buying 5 iPhone 8's and see how many have issues. Next up is GAMESTOP! :) Thank you guys for watching!
Would be interesting to see a refurbished iPhone 13 pro or pro max specifically (if there actually are any). I’m curious on how a 3rd party seller would deal with a damaged 120hz screen.
Just a tip on checking for generic charging cables, normally they have a serial number on the cable(fake ones never have this), may take a bit of time to find as the fonts grey, like the charger itself.
@@ridhwannasution5085 Just look along the cable(normally on usb side of the cable), it'll say "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in Vietnam xxxxxxx(serial number)".
i got a used iphone XR “like-new” from amazon. their packaging wasn’t the best but the overall phone quality isn’t even bad. their description was mostly accurate, they said things like “no imperfections to be seen as far as an arms length” which is totally true, i barely notice any scratches on the screen until i bring it up closer. battery health is at 88% which isn’t super bad, it’s good enough for me since it lasts on one charge most of the day.
@@7x7vv sorry for taking so long to respond. overall battery health really depends on how much you care for your phone, and i treat mine like a baby, so its still at 88%. It cost me around $288 which is really not bad for "like-new" condition.
Better off with Amazon refurbished program. I ordered an iPhone 10s gold and came like it was new out of the box. Not a single scratch. Happy with the purchase.
I love watching this guy! The only thing that bothers me that he is mostly focused on shorts and I'm watching these videos on my laptop most of the time.. Would love to see him do more videos like this instead of those shorts ;(
Hey Walter! thank you for the comment. Shorts is what people mainly watch, I'm focusing on long videos a lot more nowadays but shorts are much easier to put out and usual produce better results for my channel. I have a team of 2 now so it will definitely be easier for me to make more long videos. Thanks for your feedback man, have a nice day :)
2 days ago I actually got my semi new (used or refurbished) Huawei Mate 40 pro from a phone company called "Movistar". It cost me 600 dollars ( half the price of a new one) and it arrived in nearly perfect condition with just some minor wear marks, the screen is perfect, cameras also perfect and the battery last a whole day. 10/10 recommended
@crazy afghan I've been a Huawei user since 2018 and I really like their phones, they cost a fraction of the price of a high end apple or Samsung device and offers you the same capabilites in most aspects
@@noahscool9 what do you mean any generic app? Can you give some examples? It was quite shitty of them to say “download an app to test device functions” ! So you won’t name the app you are using unless they pay youv
I would NEVER buy a refurb from a company that charged to return it. Charging a customer to return a refurbished device is shady. You never know what condition the phone is in because it is obviously not new. 👎Best Buy👎
While I understand why they do that, if the customer can't see the phone before they buy it they should be able to return it if it isn't up to their standards. That's why I can stand behind Amazon Renewed because their return policy is solid.
Buy me a iPod Pro 12. You said ask you to tell you to buy. I’ll let you build me a white one. Even if I get no response or iPhone, I did try and ask. Thanks. I enjoy hearing you talk and refurbishing phone. I enjoy your contents as you talk with all of us.
That's at 80% the battery replacement. I tried to get my brother's iPhone 12 pro max battery replaced at 84% during the warranty period. Apple didn't allow us to go through with the replacement.
Its great that everything checked out. The 'refurbisher' was canadian gadget? This is a pre owned phone in, by the used market terms, eco friendly condition. A refurbished phone would have a new battery and the screen replaced as yours came with scratches
I bought an iPhone 11 Pro silver 256GB off of Amazon and it works perfect the only issue was the battery health which was 81%. The cosmetic condition is about 9/10. Was actually going to buy it off of Best Buy.
Cool video Amazon actually it’s ok to buy refurbished phones, eBay too as if something goes wrong which happens 1 out of 2 , they stand behind you and you are covered. My advice is to buy from these two places but the best place to buy an iPhone even refurbished is apple themselves.
It’s funny to be holding an iPhone 14 in hand and saying “how nostalgic and beautiful the rounded frame was. Even when getting my 14 I was in awe over the squared frame.
I’ve got a iPhone se 2020 Refurbished form my local iPhone/android repair shop and they sell refurbished phones for good prices I got this iPhone for 251$ and it’s in mint condition nothing wrong with the screen or the body everything runs smooth and really good
Best Buy also sells Open Box for a smidge more? but with better warranty and condition. But, it would still be interesting to see those phones on your channel. tnx
Nice vid. I have an 11 pro. If I want to buy a replacement battery does it need to be reset before or is it same as the iPhone 8 as I just did a family member’s battery and loved the experience.
I bought two different laptops from best buys. Both were advertised as open box excellent condition. Both were total crap. Mushy uneven keys, track pad was loose and rattled and the SD card reader on!y worked some of the time. So I returned it. Several weeks later bought the same model at the same store. Turns out it was the same exact laptop I bought before and it still had the same exact problems as before so I returned it as well. Oh and that 1 year manufacturer warranty is just p!ain out false advertisement. I called Lenovo to register my devise only to learn the previous owner had already registered it and it only had 2 months left. Not 1 year. Best buys responds was " did you tell them it was a open box sale?" Like that would make a difference. 😮. It didn't. Also, I found out some of these so called open box excellent shape resales have actually been used for up to 60 days and then returned, repackaged and sold as open box items. Not cool at all in my book. I won't ever do that again and frankly doubt I would buy anything from them at all again.
I don’t think think we have best buy available here (UK) so I got my refurbished iPhone SE 2020 from O2 and it’s currently doing great, I will be getting apple care on it to be on the safe side
Hey, I am late but do you think you can review Back Market? Their phones are really good and if there is any issue, the return process is really, really easy… (I am not sponsored or anything, but I am kinda surprised that many people don’t talk about them as much outside of, Europe…)

Good Idea!
First!
Hi
Love you bro
Hi
You should start a series where you review phones priced under 300$ :)
I know right
Yes he is right
lots of competitive phones from the chinese market. 120hz at that price range when even an $800 iphone still has a 60hz display
Ye
Review the Xiaomi Redmi note 11 pro+ 5g
Would be interesting to see a refurbished iPhone 13 pro or pro max specifically (if there actually are any). I’m curious on how a 3rd party seller would deal with a damaged 120hz screen.
He showed his face
3:32
@@sonubhiya1234 he has already face revealed
Good choice I couldn't think of that but would love to see it
I wouldn't buy an iPhone below 90%
I’d love more videos about buying used phones safely and reviewing different marketplaces
yeah same👍
Agree here!
I'm glad you started doing these refurbished/renewed review videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!

I've been watching your video for like 6 months now and they have been amazing thankyou
Thank you so much :) I really appreciate that
I'd be so pissed. The bare minimum of a refurbish to me is at least popping in a new battery. No exceptions.
You should make more of these videos! I loved it!
I will! Thank you :)
Great video! Thanks.
What downloaded program did you use to test all the functionality?
Phone diagnostics
I'm from México, and when I heard you saying "Hola amigo", you make me smile so hard. :D
you should review a backmarket phone. I’ve heard mixed reviews, and i want to know for sure what the experience is like

For reference of how bad the battery health is, apple recommendeds a replacement at 85% and you typically have issues at 80%
"Replacement" replace the entire goddamn phone and not the battery
That's at 80% the battery replacement. I tried to get my brother's iPhone 12 pro max battery replaced at 84% during the warranty period. Apple didn't allow us to go through with the replacement.
@HoloKola you have throttling problems, lagging, and some other issues sometimes at 80%

@@corey7219 that’s stupid, did they tell you to buy a new phone too? I think apple said iPhones typically drop to 80% after 2 years

How is the App called where you can test everything ? I have a repair shop in Germany and this app would be really nice 😅
What’s the app name?
Would like to know too
@@bundiaustin8069 he replied further down that it is called phone diagnostics
Hi, i was wo dering what hotplate you are using🤔
Great videos keep it up! 🤝
what's the app used to test the functions?
3U Tools
The app on the phone, not on the computer
Also looking for the name
Do a video on how to check an iPhone thoroughly within 3u tools and that app you mentioned please
Stay away from Best Buy marketplace!
I want to be like you when i'm older. (I LOVE YOUR VIDS)
I have a question. What is the hardest phone repair you’ve ever done?

A question: what is the oldest phone (or other thing) that you have ever repaired?
(You can answer this in a shorts)
I love this kind of video!! Keep them coming!
Face reveal?
I think you should look at "black market" for used phone. I like their warranty and I think they have like a 90 day return policy
Yeeey at Lost longer video! You inspired me to fixing phones. You are great!
Awesome!! I loved the way you placed the laptop 😂😂😂😂
congrats on 2.29M subscribers!
Test swappie next bc my old iPhone 8 did not have touch id water resistarnd or original battery

Can you do backmarket next?

You need to test out the prostate checker 5000 at the end we need to here. and get that crunch😅😅😅jk
You should do a Microcenter refurbished iPhone next
Really like that ‘ooopen it up’ 🙌🏼
Hi I love your videos you are the best you deserve more subscribers I am a fan for years your a legend have a wonderful day bye 👋🏻
2:44 casually places a laptop on it's back
You should do one on the backmarket
Try a refurbished iphone 8 Also love your channel :)
we need a studio/workspace tour!
Whats the name of the app you downloaded from 3:34 to test the other parts of the phone?
Walmart depends on the seller but the xr I got wasn’t properly refurbished. Battery wasnt even done on it but the phone does work atleast.
i saw your face slowed 25xspeed at 3:31
The prg logo on the mat is fire tho
Plus most of the time those are 1:1 copies Charging cables . With apple chips . So it would show genuine. But they are still good quality cables.
That "hola cómo estás?" wow spanish 👌🏼..
I think you didnt need to put #shorts in a long video. But btw it was a nice video. Keep it up bro. And make more videos on laptops.
I'm so busy today I just did that on autopilot Lol
I got the fully excellent condition iPhone 13 Pro refurbished and it’s too good😮💨
I’ve got a iPhone se 2020 Refurbished form my local iPhone/android repair shop and they sell refurbished phones for good prices I got this iPhone for 251$ and it’s in mint condition nothing wrong with the screen or the body everything runs smooth and really good
Couldn't you take phones from the US bc I saw your videos I love your videos I hope I can try to see if you can fix my phones
Which app is it at 3:33, in fast forward mode, if you don’t mind sharing this secret.
Whats the app called?
Best Buy also sells Open Box for a smidge more? but with better warranty and condition. But, it would still be interesting to see those phones on your channel. tnx
