iPhone 12 Pro Max price: how much is the iPhone 12 Pro Max and should you buy it?

Three cameras, a modern design and a suite of colours. The 12 Pro is still a sought-after phone for those that don't need the latest model, but what makes the iPhone 12 Pro Max stand out? And does its price today match the quality of the product or is it better value now? Apple has already released Pro and Pro Max variants ever since the iPhone 11 series. And each time, we ask again what the exact differences are and whether the price is worth it. You can find our answer here.

    Really great, ordered the phone for good condition and it was honestly excellent no complaints at all, top battery health, no scratches at all, enjoying the use so far not seen any problems. Totally worth it not sure I’ll ever buy a brand new phone again, refurbished is the way to go. Saves money for real!

    I ordered a "Fair" refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max and I am very pleased with my purchase. The phone arrived quickly and looks brand new, the only slight issue is that the camera has been unrecognised by apple as I think it was replaced but it works just fine.

    Got to say how impressed I am with my new IPhone 12 Pro Max…..even though it’s a refurbished phone you wouldn’t actually know it……from delivery, setup to general day to day use I’ve got no complaints……and it’s great to have a battery that doesn’t drain at the drop of a hat…….given the quality I’ll definitely be looking at an Apple Mac as my next purchase.

    Paid the extra for an excellent condition iPhone 12 Pro Max … I’m a little disappointed that there is dirt present around the camera lenses and the earpiece. The cable they sent me is a lightning type c connection not a usb connection. Minor things really, but attention to detail could be better by the refurbishing company. All in all the handset is in very good condition with no visible marks on casing or screen. Will get it into an authorised iPhone repair shop to have the battery changed as it is only at 87% health, and will get them to clean it up thoroughly.

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The phone looks and feels brand new, and it works flawlessly. I was a bit hesitant at first, but the seller provided a warranty which gave me peace of mind. The camera quality is stunning, and the battery life lasts all day long even with heavy usage. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend considering a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max as a cost-effective alternative to buying a brand-new one

    I am delighted with my phone. This is my first iPhone and the first time I’ve bought a refurbished one. I’ve had it for just over three weeks now and I have already decided I will never buy a brand new phone again. There is no need to as this one is in perfect condition. Sandox are a great company and their service is first class. They kept me informed about my delivery and very kindly sent me a free screen protector. I would highly recommend them!

    Impressive condition couldn’t tell it is refurbished, the seller sent in a secured packaging even sent me a screen protector as a first time customer with no extra cost. surely satisfied with the seller and back market as always.

    very quick delivery. Welll packed. when we opened condition was good as described, scratch on the screen was deeper than I'd have wished for, could feel it but was less that 0.5mm long, another deep one on the flat edge, but a cover (clear as the blue is lovely) a good clean and a tempered glass screen and it's not noticeable. so quite happy and a good price. First time we've used Back Market, used other refurbished sellers before and definitely the way to go.

    That’s it I will never buy a new iPhone again or any phone for that matter. Backs market is my go to place now for that. I only upgraded from an 11 to a 12 pro max 512 GB which is perfect for what I need and it’s just like a brand new phone for half the price of a new one. Just bought my partner one for Xmas as well . Top quality great customer service and a very prompt delivery. I’ll be back soon looking for a refurbished Mack book pro Thanks A1

    I had high hopes as presentation wise the phone looks fab, but unfortunately the particular vendor/retailer didn't pick-up on the screen issue via quality assurance - straight out the box, the device goes blank (either white or green) with random lines across the screen. The display was one component replaced in the refurbishment (it says in the settings that the display has been repaired with an unknown replacement display part which confirms this). These things happen so not the end of the world. At least it can be sorted.

Maximise performance, minimise costs: buy the refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max

 

At Back Market, customers can save big (up to 50% off) compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max. At Back Market we ensure quality is upheld through our minimum 25-point inspection that authenticates functionality, appearance, and security, conducted by industry professionals. Furthermore, we continually monitor our sellers through secret shopping, onsite visits to refurbishment centres, and of course, our customers’ reviews. Our one-of-a-kind Innovation Lab, are at the heart of these operations, and even develops new refurbishment processes that have become the industry standard.

 

Why buy refurbished instead of a second hand iPhone 12 Pro Max?

 

All refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. Whereas buying “used” or “secondhand” devices means you’re buying the device in the condition the previous owner left it in, without a guarantee of battery life or basic functionality. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPhone 12 Pro Max compared to a refurbished one. Understand more about the difference in our detailed article here - What is the difference between refurbished and used electronics?

 

Why buy a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max instead of a new one?

 

Refurbished tech is better for the planet than brand new at almost every turn, just read the study conducted by ADME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency). We've summarised it nicely in our article The environmental impact of refurbished tech but the bottom line is the vast majority of refurbished devices have significantly less of an impact on the environment. Staying true to our brand we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop for refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max deals instead of buying brand new, giving not only the planet a break, but also your wallet by saving up to 50% off!

 

How does Back Market categorise refurbished devices?

 

We categorise refurbished devices based on the product's cosmetic grades, to make sure you know exactly what you can expect when your device arrives. Watch our What does a Fair, Good, or Excellent refurbished phone look like? YouTube video for a clear breakdown with summarised information below.

 

  • Grade: Fair
    • Screen: May have micro-scratches which could be slightly noticeable when the screen is turned on.
    • Body: Has visible scratches and/or dents.
  • Grade: Good
    • Screen: Perfect condition
    • Body: May have micro-scratches visible from 20 inches away.
  • Grade: Excellent
    • Screen: Perfect condition
    • Body: May have barely visible micro-scratches, not noticeable from 8 inches away.

 

No matter the cosmetic grade, every device functions like new.

 

Is the iPhone 12 Pro Max still worth it in 2024?

 

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is still worth buying in 2024 as it's not only considerably cheaper in comparison to the latest model now (even cheaper refurbished!), but also because of the standout features like it's robust design, more than capable camera quality, and that it will still receive iOS updates for the next few years.

 

What comes with my refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max purchase?

 

Every certified refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max sold on Back Market includes a charging cable. However, to reduce e-waste, AC adapters and headphones are NOT included. Your purchase also automatically comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you ever change your mind (hassle free!), and a minimum 1-year warranty for added protection. Also note that the charging cables are subject to the same warranty conditions too.
