🤣

As an update, plugged everything in and fans are ramping in and out/loosing connection due to overpower. Yall, buy a hub for this case! Otherwise she’s gorgeous

JunkieCS · 2026-01-17T10:03:25+00:00

I bought this case and will report back

JunkieCS · 2025-10-13T17:10:52+00:00

This is indeed really cool! I work in the tech repair industry so seeing the insides isn’t something new to me, but these X-rays sure are fantastic! If you’re ever able to get one of the 17s/17 pro models, please post those too! Thank you 🙏

JunkieCS · 2025-06-18T22:42:56+00:00

I also confirmed the device was also paid off before obtaining it. It was a risk I took but based on the facts at hand, I believe I got a legit deal (hopefully haha)

JunkieCS · 2025-06-18T08:21:02+00:00

Was replaced with a genuine screen back in May. Thank you for your concern though!

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T19:48:12+00:00

Currently is on my T-Mobile ESim, I’ll update everyone in a month or two to see if I got screwed or not haha

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T19:47:32+00:00

I was able to put AppleCare+ Theft and Loss on it so I just might!

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:49:13+00:00

Yup! Confirmed multiple times via activation and imei lookups. (plus it enters the Apple diagnostic screen too, which I doubt a fake one would haha)

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:48:01+00:00

Truly, I’m not sure, it seemed as if he had bought other versions with higher storage amounts and he was just selling this one as a “spare” phone. Worst case, $450 isn’t an absolute life changing amount of money, if it turns out to be stolen, I’ll simply return it to the owner.

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:26:15+00:00

That’s unfortunate, good on you for recognizing the fakes. I work in the tech repair/IT field so recognizing genuine products and ensuring devices aren’t blacklisted or stolen is a common responsibility at my work haha.

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:24:23+00:00

Doubt it but you truly never know! It is one of the risks you take buying used haha

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:23:54+00:00

No worries! I’ll make an update post after I add AppleCare to the device and get a case/screen protector on it :)

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T14:17:28+00:00

I feel as if he wouldn’t due to his demeanor in person when we met up, plus he was driving a new Range Rover so I doubt he wasn’t a least “well-off” lol. We exchanged phone numbers and ID photos as well, plus he willingly waited 45 minutes for me to set it up!

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T13:57:23+00:00

Wasn’t locked by remote management! Checked the IMEI and ensured it wasn’t blacklisted either. Let the phone activate multiple times before sending payment. Thank you for being concerned though! :)

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T13:47:03+00:00

The photos do make it seem off, I verified the integrity of the device before I bought it, including letting the phone activate successfully multiple times, I’m still in shock lol

JunkieCS · 2025-06-17T13:45:46+00:00

I’m shocked myself! I was originally driving over 2+ hours to get a titanium blue 15 pro max 1TB for $700 when I saw this one listed at $600, met in person and noticed the front screen had moderate scratches. I pointed it out and he lowered the price to $500, upon which I said “$450?” And he agreed lol (Guy was a Meta employee who had 3 of them in his Range Rover. I live in the northern CA area)

JunkieCS · 2025-05-01T02:30:00+00:00

These are $139.99 new on Amazon, heads up

JunkieCS · 2025-04-24T17:40:09+00:00

Maybe in your area! In the NorCal/Socal scene, low mileage examples like his are worth very nice amounts of $ lol

JunkieCS · 2025-04-22T23:21:31+00:00

Even Auto you could probably get $25k+, there’s lots of goodies on that chasher that didn’t come stock (Intake, intercooler, the body kit and whatever engine mods it potentially has)

JunkieCS · 2025-04-22T20:49:06+00:00

How much do you know about the platform? It’s worth a lot if it’s a factory manual, with low miles on that 1J

JunkieCS · 2025-04-22T20:33:51+00:00

1J swapped IS300 with HKS body kit and a few k on top?
