‘Superb’ say eBay shoppers as  refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max is slashed from £519 to £389

APPLE fans searching for a discount iPhone are in luck: there’s an incredible refurbished deal available at eBay.

The online marketplace has reduced the cost of the iPhone 13 Pro Max from £518.99 to £389.25.

code RENEW25 (was £518.99)

This red-hot price drop is part of the eBay Earth Day sale event, which runs from today (Wednesday 17th April) until next Monday.

To scoop up that 25% discount, shoppers simply need to enter the promo code RENEW25 at the checkout to see the extra savings appear.

Apple’s iPhone 13 line was released back in 2021, and the 13 Pro Max is the biggest and baddest of the range.

Priced at £1,149 when it hit the market, this is a smartphone that was aimed squarely at a premium audience: tech aficionados who wanted a big screen, a long-lasting battery and, in the form of Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, some serious internal firepower. 

Make no mistake: the iPhone 13 Pro Max might be a couple of generations old but this is still a premium smartphone in both looks and features – the difference now is that it’s a whole lot more affordable.

In contrast to the standard iPhone 13 Pro’s 6.1-inch screen, the Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display – it’s perfect for any shoppers who do lots of streaming and gaming on their phone.

On top of that, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a longer battery life than the other handsets in the range. Apple states that the Pro Max can deliver up to 95 hours of audio playback, in comparison to the 13 Pro’s 75 hours.

Lots of consumers out there might still be hesitant about shopping refurbished – but, being honest, I think they’re dwindling in number.

More and more shoppers are waking up to the benefits of buying pre-purchased items from trusted sellers like eBay.

These are items that have typically returned within their warranty periods, and have been vetted, quality-checked and restored by either the manufacturer or eBay itself.

In terms of appearances, refurb eBay products are listed in condition grades: Certified, Excellent, Very Good and Good – you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Buying refurbished electronics is undoubtedly good for the environment, extending the life cycle of items and preventing unwanted tech from ending up discarded in a landfill.

But, just as crucially, refurbished goods are always considerably less costly than their brand-new equivalents.

The refurbished outlet at eBay offers shoppers an opportunity to pick up items from big-brand names like Apple who, let’s face it, isn’t exactly known for bargain prices.

You’ll also find the iPhone 12 (£200.99, was £267.99), the iPhone 14 Pro (£543, was £724) and the iPhone 14 Pro Max (£576.75, was £769) included in eBay’s Earth Day sale.

Just keep in mind that you’ll need to act fast: the sale ends next Monday (22nd April).
