Paraphrased sentiment from owner discussions across Reddit, forums and YouTube. Follow each link for the original thread.
20+ early owners overwhelmingly praise the 13 Pro: the 120Hz ProMotion display is called transformative, cameras (especially macro) impress, and battery life beats expectations, with the size hitting a one-handed sweet spot. Dissenters flag the phone's weight and wrist strain, the large camera bump catching fingers, flat edges feeling less comfy than the 11 Pro, and missing Touch ID. Best for upgraders from XS/11; less compelling for 12 Pro owners. Lean: mostly positive. (per MacRumors Forums)
Read the discussion on MacRumors Forums →20+ owners share battery-health readings, mostly after about two years from the Sep 2021 launch. Reported figures cluster in the mid-80s to mid-90s and are treated as normal gradual wear; a few sit at 100% and some dip to the low 80s. Several credit wired charging for better retention and blame wireless/MagSafe for faster degradation. Lean: satisfied, longevity seen as solid. (per MacRumors Forums)
Read the discussion on MacRumors Forums →In this long-running thread, many owners report still using their 13 Pro / Pro Max two-plus years on with little slowdown, saying it does everything they need and they see weak reason to upgrade. Recurring praise: smooth 120Hz ProMotion, strong cameras, solid build quality, and day-plus battery (commonly 79-89% health). Main gripes: minimal generational change since the 12 Pro, no physical SIM and no Apple Intelligence on newer models. (per MacRumors Forums)

What does "A Grade" / "Good as New" mean for this pre-owned iPhone 13 Pro, and what battery health should I expect?
A Grade (often called "Good as New") means the phone is fully functional and shows little to no visible wear, looking close to new. For refurbished iPhones, A-grade battery health is commonly 80% or higher (many sellers grade above 85%), which still delivers solid all-day use. Grade definitions, tested battery health and whether the battery was replaced all vary by refurbisher, so ask the seller for the exact battery-health figure and any warranty terms before you buy. — PriceJive
Does it support 5G and dual-SIM / eSIM?
Yes. The iPhone 13 Pro supports 5G for faster mobile data where your network has coverage. It also offers dual-SIM via one physical nano-SIM plus an eSIM, so you can run two numbers (for example a personal and a work line, or a local data plan when travelling) on one device. For South African use, check the box or seller for an ICASA sticker, which confirms the unit is approved for local networks and is a legitimate import. — PriceJive
What's the camera setup, display and water resistance?
It has a triple 12MP rear camera (wide, ultra-wide and telephoto) plus a 12MP front camera, so you get optical zoom, wide landscape shots and strong low-light photos. The screen is a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with 120Hz ProMotion, meaning smooth scrolling and responsive gaming. It carries an IP68 rating (tested to 6m for up to 30 minutes), so it withstands splashes, rain and brief accidental submersion, though water damage is not covered by warranty. — PriceJive
What's in the box, and does it come with a charger? Is the 128GB storage expandable?
Apple shipped the iPhone 13 Pro without a power adapter or earphones; the original box held only a USB-C-to-Lightning cable, a SIM tool and a guide. You'll need a USB-C plug to charge it (it does up to roughly 20W wired and 15W via MagSafe). As this is pre-owned, ask the seller which accessories are actually included. The 128GB storage is fixed; like all iPhones it has no microSD slot, so choose capacity based on your photo, app and video needs. — PriceJive
