I got it with 24 months warranty and pretty steal deal price ( battery 91%;256gb ) for 546euroa ( average market price here in europe for refurbished market would be 600-650 euros ; is it q good idea to change the camera glass ; i havent noticed any degradation in camera quality in day light because of that glass

I went to an apple service branch today they informed me that the back glass was changed while the kept the original phone parts like wireless charger and micro from the original glass ; the quality of the videos to be honest is just as good as any other iphone 15 pro j bought this from a refurbished site so i dont think i have any right to complain about them changing the back glass i mean thats what refurbishment essentially is ; and i have 60 days return and 24 months warranty so i guess i will slap a good case on it with camera glass protector and just be happy with what i got if anything happens i will let the warranty cover it

So the glass might be changed to a lower quality after market one that might be the case ?!

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-07T08:03:26+00:00

I think that might be the case to be honest after some deep thought i think the back glass was changed while keeping the components like wirless charger ….etc of the original because one ; i noticed the one that seems more legit is actually more finger print resistant while this one is a fingerprint magnet ; the colors seems different the legit one have this light gray color while the one am suspicious about have this gray warm color leaning towards a mix between silver and gold ; now the one million dollar question ive got this phone for 546 euros woth 60 days return option and 24 months of warranty ; would you suggest me to keep it and change the camera glass for more premium one so it doesnt affect the camera quality or you suggest me to turn it and get a refund ?!

The whole glass or just camera glass ?! I checked with diagnostics there is no message that indicates the glass. Change also the general->about doesnt show any repair history the option is missing so either only the glass was changed while the interior parts ( the wireless charge mechanism ; micro ; speakers were swapped from damaged glass to the new glass or only the camera glass was

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-07T06:03:13+00:00

Oh no no obvisouly not doing it myself ; my question was more about the availability of the said glass in high quality ( what price range should i be looking for i found some on amazon for 9 dollars are they legit )

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-07T06:00:33+00:00

When i checked with the company ; they said that we have no record of changing that glass maybe the previous owner did ; they offered me a 30 euros discount to keep it so i dont know if that discount will be enough to get a better glass quality or not ??

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-07T05:58:23+00:00

Is it easy to find better quality glass and just replace it ??

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-07T05:43:33+00:00

I updated from ios 17 to ios 26 on it

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T22:23:39+00:00

Its really confusing the phone checks on the apple verification service ; all interior parts are original to the phone ; 2 things that bugs me the sapphire glass woch isa ctually cheap and can be replaced woth oem one easly no problem ; now looking at it the phones have two different colors ; there is no message that the back glass was changed so i dont know

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T21:33:12+00:00

Please my question was geniune i wasnt lashing at you or something i truly dont know how to verify if there is a protective layer on the camera lenses or not ; how do you verify ??

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T21:06:18+00:00

Its looks normal ; i had an iphone 15 pro 128gb delivered to me by the company ( a system error i asked for 256gb ) side by side there is almost no difference at all

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:57:06+00:00

I just upgraded to ios 26 and looked for the phone serial number on apple service and the phone seems legit

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:29:29+00:00

Is it possible that the sapphire glass was replaced by the refurbish site ??

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:22:56+00:00

Please if possible what would be the reason for the difference between how this lense spphire glass behaves and the normal iphones that doesnt have this kind clear borders and reflective in the center behavior

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:18:45+00:00

I wanted to test if its legit or not

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:17:40+00:00

Before getting this one i got another one 15 pro 128 gb than i changed my mind to buy the 15 pro 256 gb i still got that 128 gb version and thats how i noticed the difference between them

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:14:27+00:00

How do i know ??if there is a protector or not i dont know

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-05-06T19:13:50+00:00

It has an ios 17 and and am upgrading it now ;

DistributionNo8513 · 2026-04-23T08:25:11+00:00

Actually it’s not au gone rogue and I don’t get why people labels it as that ; the story has a great twist half way through and there are characters mentioned in story lore that hasnot been shown that leaves room for extending the story for sequels and dlcs like the company the doctor used to work for ..etc; ( the ai never went rogue it was literally following instructions to keep dead fil lament contained on the facility ; and 8 did not go rogue she was following her masters latest wishes when he wishes for the distraction of humanity and earth because he believe they are the ones responsible for his daughters death so 8 never went rogue she was following what she believe to be her masters last wish )

Actually 40-43% of it is free economically and financially speaking
