The 64 gigs on my iPhone 8 weren't cutting it anymore. I grew tired with the constant pop-ups yelling at me for not having enough storage. There was only so much off-loading, deleting, and nitty gritty solution-seeking one can do. I definitely wasn't in the market to drop money on a new iPhone, but I typed in "refurbished iPhone" on Google and found BackMarket.com, which I found to look quite legitimate. For the price of a month's rent (think "affordable Upstate NY middle-of-nowhere" rent), I copped a refurbished, unlocked iPhone XS 512 GB in "excellent aesthetic condition" with a 12 month warranty attached. After a quick web search, this appeared to be a great deal, beating Apple by a few hundred dollars.
Free delivery in a couple days.
No frills. This had me a bit scared, not going to lie. There was a decent amount of bubble wrap though.
A close look front and back. Looks like it could be brand new!
Phone comparison. My new iPhone on the left. My old iPhone on the right. Just a bit taller and has greater utilization of the whole screen? Looks very sleek, without any scratches.
Justice is served with the 512 GB. Someone call the local aircraft controllers and let them know I'm stuck on Cloud 9.
Main camera quality. I'm impressed. Also, fluticasone ain't hitting like it used to.
I also have a selfie that I unfortunately feel I looked too crusty to publish on here. Take my word on this: it's very sharp.
Let's dress it up a little. Magnets for the car phone-holder. A must have.
Get the case here.
Bruh. She's beautiful.
I'm very happy with my purchase. This could have been a brand new iPhone, and I would have not known the difference. The phone feels great, looks good, has greater battery and processing power, and most importantly, has 512 gigs. Hell to the yes, dude.
