Apple iPhone 13 Pro (Unlocked) (Black Box - Like New) (Open Box)

When my phone arrived, I opened it up, and the inside of the box was really dusty and I thought nothing of it, but eventually got to testing features. In the telephoto camera, there is a spot of dust inside the lens, which is supposed to be a closed system, as was confirmed by a look at the forum and consulting with an Apple authorized repair shop(they did not open it up, just confirmed that was the likely culprit). Said repair shop confirmed to me that Amazon had not run a full diagnostic on the phone when they refurbished it, which would have caught the dust, assuming the dust hadn't come from their factory. Note how when the camera is moved, the circled splotch moves, even without anything on the outside of the lens. A defective camera would've been fine, but despite what the page says, Amazon does not actually do replacements on these phones when they send a defective one out, and expects you to return for a refund while making it as hard as possible to actually do so. The problem here comes in the fact that because the price went up, if I return the phone, I'll have to pay an additional $80 and wait a lot more time even as they use a pickup system that doesn't even let me track the package to make sure it actually gets there, with the refund hinging on it getting there rather than being picked up, and waiting potentially a week for UPS to come pick it up means I can't work during that period invoking an additional opportunity cost of several hundred dollars. This leaves the actual most likely solution to a functionally warrantyless phone to be to get a new camera unit installed for about $200. And all this hasn't even gotten into the fact that Amazon had previously charged the wrong card and asked me to purchase this(the second) phone on my main card while I wait for a refund because they can't change the payment method, so Amazon has essentially bilked me for about $2500 between the first(unopened) phone billed to the wrong card, the second phone that's defective, and opportunity cost in addition to still being left in need of a phone. This stinks.
