Description
Apple iPhone XS Max 256 GB Silver, Carrier Returns, GSM unlocked
Carrier return Apple iPhone XS Max in Silver with 256 GB, 4G LTE, GSM unlocked. These units came back through a carrier channel and were tested and graded by TG on receipt, a mix of open-box and lightly handled phones; this listing is GSM unlocked rather than GSM/CDMA, so match it to GSM-network channels and ask your account manager for the lot's cosmetic split.
The iPhone XS Max is Apple's 2018 large-format flagship and the first iPhone with a 6.5-inch display: a Super Retina OLED panel at 2688 x 1242 pixels and 458 ppi with HDR10, Dolby Vision, and True Tone. It runs the A12 Bionic chip, uses Face ID through the TrueDepth camera, and pairs optically stabilized 12 MP wide and telephoto rear cameras with Smart HDR and Portrait mode. The stainless steel frame and glass back give it IP68 water resistance and Qi wireless charging, and it supports Gigabit-class LTE and dual SIM with eSIM.
Dealers buy the XS Max from TG Wireless across new, carrier-return, refurbished, and A, B, and C grades for marketplace resale, enterprise pools, repair stock, and export.

Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The iPhone XS Max is a 4G LTE phone with VoLTE and no 5G; it works on current AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon networks and their prepaid brands. Lock state and carrier variant are per listing; see the network status line in the table. Three listings carry the A2101 model number, the international variant, whose US carrier acceptance and VoLTE provisioning can differ from the US model, so confirm with the carrier before activating in volume. The US 3G, 2G, and CDMA shutdowns do not affect an LTE iPhone.
Resale fit
- Marketplace and storefront sellers who list the XS Max by exact grade, storage, and color.
- Enterprise, healthcare, and institutional device pools that want a large OLED iPhone with Face ID at a used-market price.
- Repair shops and refurbishers using B and C Grade units as working cores for re-housing and parts.
- Export to markets where large-screen Apple flagships hold value across all grades.
