iPhones on adverts.ie

Seattle

Hi all. Anyone have experience of purchasing new iPhones on adverts? There are lots of accounts with immaculate feedback selling iPhone 15 pro max (brand new) for ~€1050

It's a good bit cheaper than the usual retail options. I know they are probably imported but they are still authentic and work as well as the Irish stock?

I have bought my last 3 iPhones from trusted dealers on Adverts and had no issues whatsoever. Look for dealers with good feedback and longstanding accounts.

same here, last 3 have been brand new sealed.

I’ve bought MacBooks also, the reason for cheap macs seems to be not paying vat, maybe same for phones…

No reason but discount the above but also be careful. I bought one off an adverts seller who also has physical stores and immaculate feedback. Came with 12 month warranty and after a couple of weeks the battery went. They replaced it but after a short while the replacement batter expanded and pushed the screen out. Apparently because this was a replacement part it wasn't covered under the initial warranty and I had to pay for the repair. Few weeks later there is a rattle in the phone. I brought it back and they refused to even acknowledge that they sold the phone. Got very aggressive with me so I left it and brought it to a local shop and just paid them to replace the battery.

They asked me where I got it done previously and showed me the battery. Cheap chinese one that wasn't even for an iphone. So just be careful I'd say. I can private message you the name of that seller if you like.

yes, I’ve bought loads over the years.

Do the normal research on the seller and if a shop, then collect from them.
