Really decent phone but can tell that it's second hand
2 of 2 found this helpful When I received this iPhone 5s (on claims that it was Grade A), I expected it to be a little cleaner and less scratched from its retailer. The phone was pretty grubby and although didn't have any scratches on the actual screen, did have many scratches in its actual bodywork, on its back and sides. You'd never know it has these if you get a complete cover for it though. There's also a small stain that surrounds the camera which ironically shows that it has had a cover on it before (so why it has metallic scratches on its body, who knows?) The phone doesn't look like it's been well taken care of in its previous holdings although the complimentary screen protector was a really nice addition to the sale- it saved me from buying one.
I did shop around before purchasing this item and this was the cheapest iPhone 5s, with 32GB, on the market (literally anywhere online.) The battery is very good (literally as new) and the memory is as expected for Apple, just less than 32GB (with about 26GB actually accessible for apps, music etc.)
If this phone breaks in the next year/ few years (thanks, inevitable planned obsolescence!) then I think I'll feel comfortable replacing it through this retailer again. Would like it to be a little less grubby when it gets to me next time though (all it needed was an microfibre cloth running over it- not an alcohol wipe because those can damage the phone's coating.)
