A brand-new flagship iPhone in Namibia now costs as much as a decent second-hand car deposit — the iPhone 17 Pro Max sells for N$36,499. But here is the thing most people don't realise: a professionally tested used iPhone does 95% of what a new one does, for 40–60% less money. The camera still shoots beautiful photos. WhatsApp, banking apps and email run exactly the same. And when you buy from a shop that tests every phone and backs it with a real warranty, the usual risks of buying used simply fall away.
This guide covers why a used iPhone is the smarter buy for most people in Namibia, and lists every used iPhone currently in stock at Access Electronics — from N$4,999.
The maths: what you save buying used
| What you want | New route | Used route | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| A reliable everyday iPhone | iPhone 16 — N$15,899 | Used iPhone 13 128GB — N$7,999 | N$7,900 |
| A Pro camera system | iPhone 17 Pro — N$27,499 | Used iPhone 14 Pro — N$12,499 | N$15,000 |
| The big-screen flagship feel | iPhone 17 Pro Max — N$36,499 | Used iPhone 14 Pro Max — N$14,999 | N$21,500 |
That saving is real money in your pocket — or, if you like, it's a used iPhone and a PS5 for the price of one new flagship.
"But is a used iPhone safe to buy?"
It is when it's been tested properly. Every used iPhone at Access Electronics goes through inspection before it reaches the shelf:
- Fully tested — screen, cameras, Face ID, speakers, charging and network are all checked by our technicians.
- Battery health shown on every listing — no surprises. You see the exact battery percentage before you pay, something no private seller on Facebook Marketplace will guarantee.
- 12-month warranty — every used iPhone is covered by Access Electronics for a full year. If something genuine goes wrong, you bring it back. That is longer cover than most people ever use on a new phone.
- Clean devices — iCloud-unlocked, factory reset, ready to set up as yours.
- A real shop to walk into — branches in Windhoek, Walvis Bay and Ongwediva. You can hold the phone before buying it.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the warranty on a used iPhone?
Every used iPhone from Access Electronics comes with a 12-month warranty. Private sellers and marketplaces offer none.
What does the battery health number mean?
It is Apple's own measure of battery capacity versus new. We publish it on every listing — a phone at 90%+ battery health comfortably lasts a full day. Batteries can also be replaced affordably later.
Are the phones iCloud-unlocked?
Yes — every device is verified clean, signed out and factory reset before sale.
Can I see the phone before buying?
Yes. Visit us in Windhoek (Independence Avenue, Gathemann Building), Walvis Bay (Baystar Mall) or Ongwediva (Oshana Mall) — or order online with nationwide delivery.
