    In today's video we will be unboxing my (new) iPhone :)
    It's an iPhone 13 Pro in silver with 256gb of storage. I actually recorded this unboxing over 6 months ago in December of 2023 but never got around to editing it because I thought it was sooo boring. But I decided since many people buy refurbished iPhones it would be nice to share my experience with you. This is the second iPhone I purchased from Back Market and I am very pleased with their customer support. As always, If you have any questions chat with me in the comment section. If you enjoyed this video don't forget to like + subscribe, I'd love to have you around! 🫶🏼

    • @mariusmika
      @mariusmika  2 месяца назад +30

      No, not at all. It has 120hz which makes animations really smooth and the Cameras are really good! I record most parts of my videos with my phone. If you want to check out the quality you can watch my London vlog or my last uni diaries (what I eat in a week). Those were both entirely filmed using this phone.
      The only thing that I do not like is the stainless steel frame because it scratches way too easily, but other than that I love this phone! :)

    I would have been choosing a refurbished pastel blue 13 Pro in a few year if it weren’t for the low PWM dimming (that unfortunately my blue 13 obviously has too) which in this video can be seen with subtle continuous flickering on the screen :’c…
    I will probably settle on a refurbished pastel green (I love these 2 pastel tones!) Honor Magic 6 Pro, the PWM dimming rate is very high so that there won’t be any to very little (as other Chinese phones) in a few years and I cannot wait :’3 🌱🍉🦉
    Props for the Animal Crossing BGM! I wish to play more of New Leaf and get my hands on all the N64 Japanese versions as well as the GameCube and I’m not giving up c:

    • @mariusmika
      @mariusmika  2 месяца назад +2

      i don’t get what you mean😅 the flickering is because my cameras refresh rate doesn’t match the one of the screen. Your eyes cannot see it. No hate, just wondering what you mean. Maybe you could elaborate

    • @tomsbeingtheleo
      @tomsbeingtheleo 2 месяца назад

      That could be possible too! As far as I read it’s a display matter, hence why in the camera I see it, I know it’s invisible to our eyes :>
      And, yeah! That pastel green’s stunning, isn’t it?

    Do you find it normal for an iPhone if the battery health drop by 5% in 6 months? Asking as an Android user, calming video anyway 🥰🥰

    • @mariusmika
      @mariusmika  2 месяца назад +4

      Thank you, I am so happy you enjoyed it!!🥰
      I don’t know if it’s normal or not but since it’s been refurbished, I can’t really tell how careful the previous owner was with the battery.
      I wouldn’t say I was particularly careful because I think a phone is there to be used and I don’t wanna have to worry about if it’s being charged up to 100% or not. But the iPhone has battery health features that make it only go up to 80% until you need it which should elongate the battery’s health. I don’t think it’s a big deal though because I can always get the battery replaced.😊

      it’s not the cases that leave the mark but rather the particles that get trapped inside of the case like the dust when I put my phone inside my pocket😅. If you don’t put your phone in your pocket its probably not going to happen.☺️

    • @mariusmika
      @mariusmika  2 месяца назад +1

      depends on what you like, I personally like to keep my phones in pristine condition because the resell-value will be higher but some people also like the "used" look of stainless steel. It’s all about preference☺️ I personally change my case once every other week and clean it then but the scratches still happen 🥲

      as shown in the video it was at 90% when I got it. Most refurbishers give you the option to replace the battery for a bit more money though if you want to have 100%. After almost 7 months of use my battery health has gone down 5%. It still gets me through the day relatively easily, so I‘m not complaining. :)

      I just googled what you mean because I‘ve never heard of it but I read that if anything were to go wrong with your iPhone screen (that isn’t your fault ofc), apple will replace it for free. I wouldn’t be scared of the screen issue because everybody that I know with a 13 Pro has no issues at all. But there’s always something that could break. It’s technology, and technology breaks sometimes for some odd reason. But that shouldn’t stop you from getting the 13 Pro😄

    Hello! I'm thinking about buying my iPhone 13 pro at Swappie. I would like to know if you recommend buying it with a new battery? I'm just not sure, because they say that the battery is not original but it is still high quality and I don't know. I don't know if you didn't buy it because of lack of money or just because it's better. Thank you! :)

    • @mariusmika
      @mariusmika  Месяц назад

      I have never bought from Swappie so I can’t tell you how "high quality" the batteries from them are. I think it depends on how much more money they charge. If it’s a lot more then I wouldn’t do it.
      I got mine without a new battery because I decided that I can always get it replaced when battery life becomes really bad. And with most companies you can send it back within a few weeks without giving a reason (atleast on backmarket). If you‘re unhappy with the battery you can always send it back and get one with a new battery. :)

      they are both basically the same thing, depends on which size you like better. One thing to consider aswell is the weight. The normal 13 Pro is very heavy already and the 13 Pro Max is even heavier. Maybe you can try looking at the different sized iPhones in an Apple Store :)

      there are quite a few differences:
      - 120hz display
      - camera has 3x zoom instead of 2x
      - it’s heavier
      - the notch is smaller (but doesn’t really make a difference)
      - the camera has cinema mode (makes the background in videos blurry and you can choose focus later)
      - it has a better processor
      - the screen gets brighter
      - the camera has photographic styles, ProRes, MacroMode
      I can’t think of anything else right now but that should give you a glimpse of the differences. Imo the 13 Pro was a big upgrade from the 12 Pro. Hope this helps 🫶🏼
