im looking to upgrade/replace my shitty iphone 13 and im considering buying a phone off taobao, i compared prices on taobao to refurbished phones around my area and theyre roughly around the same price with taobao being slightly cheaper (shipping incl)

for people who have maybe bought tech off of taobao before, what is the better choice here? do taobao iphones work as new and are significantly better quality than refurbished iphones?
