You'll get a real sweet spot here: a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max in very good condition, with a brand new-feeling battery (100% health), and it's unlocked for any carrier. What pushes this one to the top is the combo of a fair price, a full year of seller warranty, and a 30-day return window—so you're not taking on much risk. The seller is established and reliable, and they've done extensive quality checks (over 75 functions tested!), which isn't always standard. You won't get the original box or charger, but that's common with refurbs. Compared to the #2 option, you save a little but get nearly the same assurance, just with a touch more cosmetic wear. This strikes the right balance between price, condition, and peace of mind. If you're looking for best value, this is where your money is going furthest without cutting corners on reliability.

Here, you're paying a bit extra for an iPhone 12 Pro Max that's in even better, "excellent" refurbished condition. The big highlights are 100% battery health, a full year's warranty from a reputable seller, and a 30-day return window. You also get quick shipping and a generic box, which not every listing includes. This is the way to go if you want a phone that's as close to new as possible without actually being new. Against the top pick, it's slightly pricier but you do get a near-pristine device. If that matters to you—say you want it to look flawless for gifting or resale—it's a fair upgrade. The value's slightly lower than the top spot because of the higher price, but you are definitely getting a more "like-new" phone.

You’re getting a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max with double the storage (256GB) compared to most options—useful if you have loads of photos, apps, or videos. The condition is very good, with 100% battery health, an established seller with a track record, and a full year’s warranty (though battery and accidental damage are excluded). Accessories like a car holder and USB cable are included, which is uncommon. The honest catch? You’re paying more than for the top picks which have similar warranty and battery, but less storage—if you’d actually use the extra space, it’s worth it. If you’re after maximum capacity and a bit of extra peace of mind with seller history and warranty, this is the best fit. If 128GB is enough, you can save a noticeable amount with the top two options.

You’re looking at the lowest-priced refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max here, and it comes with decent seller support: a full 12-month warranty, 60-day return window, and a well-reviewed, trustworthy seller. You’ll get a working phone that may have some moderate wear (so expect visible scuffs or marks). You also get a huge 512GB of storage, which is rare at this price point—great if you’re a heavy photo or app user. The main tradeoff is looks: if you care about pristine condition, this isn’t it, but if value and tons of space matter most, this is a smart save. Compared to the top pick, you’re sacrificing a bit of cosmetic appeal but keeping more cash in your pocket and snagging much more storage.

Here’s easily the cheapest way to own an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it doesn’t feel like you’re scraping the barrel. You get 100% battery health, an original Apple screen (not always a given), the original box—and it’s unlocked. There’s a full year of seller warranty, though the seller’s track record is thin (just a couple feedback ratings), so there’s a bit more personal risk than with established shops. The phone is listed as used but well-cared-for. You won’t get returns or extra tested assurances like the refurbed options, but if you’re comfortable with a bit more uncertainty and want to save real money, this gets you flagship performance for much less. Just know you’re trading a layer of professional refurbishing and return coverage for that bargain.

You’ll get a used iPhone 12 Pro Max with a solid 256GB of storage and a still-strong 97% battery health. The seller claims pristine cosmetic condition and, unusually, 12 months of the manufacturer’s warranty—if this is accurate, it’s a rare find at this age. You’re paying more than refurbed 128GB options, but you get extra space and top condition. Downsides: there’s no info on returns and the seller has a limited track record compared to bigger refurb shops. It’s also not quite as cheap as the top used/refurbed picks, but if you prefer buying from a private party and want both capacity and excellent looks, this is probably your best "used" bet. If seller support and bulletproof warranty are non-negotiable, you might be better off with one of the top two refurbs.

With this option, you’re getting a used iPhone 12 Pro Max at a very reasonable price—especially for 100% battery health and a device in “excellent" condition. There’s even a mention of a battery capacity upgrade, plus you get included accessories and free fast shipping. The catch: iOS updates may cause 'Unknown Part' battery warnings, due to the replacement battery not being recognized as original Apple, which can be annoying (but doesn’t affect function). There’s also less seller history than with top spots, and no explicit warranty or return window mentioned. This is a gamble for tech-savvy buyers who want the best deal and don’t mind potential software nags about the battery. If you want full peace of mind, stick with the top two refurbs—but this is a budget-friendly alternative if you’re okay with minor quirks.

This listing gives you a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max in 'very good' condition—cleaner than some of the lowest-priced options, but at a price that’s still one of the lowest among higher-condition picks. You get the full 12-month warranty, 60-day returns, and rapid shipping from a reputable seller, though the phone may have moderate visible marks. It’s professionally tested and phonecheck certified, so you’re likely to get a reliable device. The kicker: you’re paying less than the top two picks, with only slightly more cosmetic wear. If you’re not fussed about a few scrapes and want to keep costs down (plus get great return coverage), this is a savvy place to land.

You’ll get a high-quality refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Max here, in light-wear, 'very good' condition, with a full year of warranty and returns accepted for 30 days (the seller even pays return shipping). Accessories and a third-party charger are included, which is a bonus over most listings. The seller is very established and trustworthy. It does cost a bit more than the very cheapest options, but you’re paying for added convenience (included charger and easier returns). If you care about hassle-free returns, a little extra peace of mind, and not hunting down accessories, this is worth considering. Compared to the top picks, the main difference is price—condition and coverage are basically on par, but you’re paying a touch more for those extras.

This is the cheapest iPhone 12 Pro Max you’ll find in the lineup, and you’re getting it in pristine, “as-new” cosmetic condition with 100% battery health and a highly-rated seller. It’s unlocked and ready for any carrier. The tradeoff? There’s no mention of warranty or returns, so you’d be more exposed if an issue comes up after purchase. Compared to higher-ranked options, you’re giving up professional refurb assurances and fallback support. If you’re confident in dealing with a direct seller and value saving as much as possible, it’s a good low-risk way to get a great-looking phone. For maximum safety (returns or guaranteed warranty), spending a bit more on the refurbed top picks might be worth it.
