Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about pristine, scratch-free screen. — just accept battery health was reset, showing 100% on phone but 75% via 3u tools (actual cycle count 1480)..
The reviewer is ultimately satisfied with the refurbished iPhone 11 purchased for ₹15,999, despite discovering a replaced rear camera and a reset battery health. They found the screen to be 'spotless' and other essential functions like Face ID and cameras working well. The reviewer concluded that Cashify offers a good option due to its warranty and customer service, which he considers superior to unregulated offline purchases.
This review evaluates a refurbished iPhone 11 purchased from Cashify, focusing on its physical condition, internal component authenticity, and performance. The reviewer uses a third-party tool (3U tools) and Apple logs to verify battery health, camera status, and other specifications against Cashify's advertised claims for a "fair condition" device.
The refurbished iPhone 11 from Cashify offers a functional device at a budget price, but consumers should be aware of undisclosed component replacements. While the internal 3U tools analysis revealed a reset battery health and a replaced rear camera, the screen was found to be pristine with no scratches, and all camera modes, including portrait, performed as expected with accurate colors. The external "fair" condition had more minor scratches than Cashify's description of 5-8 microns, though the back glass and camera lens were flawless. If you prioritize a working iPhone with a great screen at a significantly reduced cost and are comfortable with potentially non-original internal parts, this could be a satisfactory purchase. However, if you require full transparency on component originality or an externally perfect device, you should consider other options.

The device ran the latest iOS beta smoothly.
