The iPhone XS Max is exactly 6.46 inches with rounded corners for a comfortable hold. It’s often rounded up to 6.5-inches, and whilst this might seem “small” considering it’s a Max line, it still packs a punch.

Width-wise, it’s about 0.14-inches wider than its predecessors like the iPhone 6, 7 and 8. The iPhone XS is smaller, measuring 5.8-inches and both sport the same features as each other. Some prefer a bigger phone for streaming, photo-viewing and just generally having a larger phone. So if you want all the features of the XS in a larger body - then the XS Max is the right phone for you!

The iPhone XS Max is water-resistant, with an IP68 rating. This means the iPhone XS Max will work just fine after being submerged in about 2 metres of water for up to 30 minutes. So there’s no need to worry about heavy rainfall or dropping it in a puddle by accident.

When you buy a refurbished iPhone XS Max from us, it’ll still have the IP68 rating. All of our phones must pass an extensive quality check and be “Certified Refurbished” before it’s placed on our store - so you’ll know you’re getting the same quality as brand new!

But like any phone, the iPhone XS Max is still susceptible to water damage despite the protection it has. That’s why we recommend not swimming or bathing with your phone in hand, or using it in a high-humidity area such as a sauna.

The iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS are not 5G compatible. All phones from the 11 and newer SE range are also not 5G ready.

They do however offer excellent 4G connectivity. They both have something known as "cat 16" 4G - which allows fast downloads at speeds of 1024 Mbps (over double that of the iPhone X) and uploads of up to 150 Mbps. Given that these are slightly older models now - this is very impressive!

So whilst 5G is all the craze, you’re still going to experience faster browsing and upload speeds compared to the iPhone XS Max and XS predecessors. For that reason alone - you’re better off investing in a refurbished iPhone XS Max for a great price!

Both iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max support Qi wireless charging at about 7.5 watts. Whilst the charger isn’t included, we highly recommend shopping for a Qi-certified charging pad to ensure you get the best charging performance.

Using a wireless charger is a great way to charge up your refurbished iPhone XS Max on the go without a Lightning cable. Any phone charged wirelessly will take slightly longer to charge due to the lack of cable, but the convenience of built-in wireless charging means you can top up your iPhone XS Max on the go.

It’s absolutely worth buying a refurbished iPhone XS Max! If it’s a phone you’ve been after for some time - a refurbished model from the musicMagpie Store is the way to go. We ensure every phone we sell is Certified Refurbished and works just as a brand new phone should.

Plus, by shopping for a refurbished iPhone XS Max, you actively contribute to the circular economy and saving the planet too! Don’t forget to check out our other refurbished phones too, including:
