Transcript

This guy on Facebook is selling his iPhone 14 Pro Max and just saying to make an offer. Even refurbished on Best Buy's website, they're going for around $500. So what price can I give him? Hey bro, with the costs of repairs, I'll do $80. I can come pick up today as well. Sounds amazing to me. Somehow he accepted $80. So is there something seriously wrong with this phone? What's up bro? Dude, I was... BRO! Dude, so this is what happened. On my belt, what the heck? It only fell a couple of feet from my pocket, but that can't be right. The back glass is completely shattered and the front screen needs to be replaced. Wait, is that a screen protector? It's not a screen protector, but I did see in his settings that he has an aftermarket screen put on this phone. It's like popping out right there. Usual, I did check the cameras. This one just looks a little strange because it has a lens cap. I don't want this phone. Just like we did with the iPhone 16, I want to give the 14 Pro Max to one of you. Fixing the back glass and front glass are all issues that I've handled before, but this one also has an issue that I've never fixed. Some reason this phone can't hold a charge. Something is definitely wrong here. So make sure you're following along for the journey because we're gonna fix this. I can give it to one of you.
