iPhone 12 Pro Max: The 2026 Verdict
The iPhone 12 Pro Max launched in 2020, but with a new 100% genuine battery and a price of just $399, it's one of the best-value large-screen iPhones you can buy refurbished in Australia in 2026.
Why the 12 Pro Max Still Holds Up in 2026
- 6.7-inch OLED display — still one of the biggest, brightest screens on any iPhone
- A14 Bionic chip — fast enough for everyday apps, photos and 5G
- Triple camera system with LiDAR — genuinely great photos for a phone under $500
- Long battery life — especially with our new genuine battery upgrade
New Battery = The Key Difference
Most "used" iPhone 12 Pro Max units you'll find have worn batteries. Ours come with a new, 100% genuine Apple battery fitted, so you get a full day of use from day one — no battery anxiety.
