  • Great quality renewed phone
Size: 64GB Color: Black Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
We got this phone as a gift for my nephew not knowing what we were getting with a renewed phone. When we got the phone I opened it to check the quality and see if it would make a good gift and the phone looked brand new. The phone works just as it should, battery life is good for a used phone (lasts 2 days if not watching videos), and it had no scratches on the phone at all. All in all a good purchase will get another for a Christmas present. ... show more

Honestly I was super scared after reading all of the bad reviews but I got my phone in today and physically, the phone is in perfect condition. The phone works perfectly regardless of the complaints that the 12 lags when the iOS 26 update is installed but I haven’t had a single issue. The only thing is that the battery compacity is at 92% but it’s not bad for a refurbished phone ... show more

The phone appears to be fine. It has no scratches. The problem is that it has 80% battery life left. I don't know if that affects its performance, but I'll keep it. I hope it doesn't have any problems. I have an iPhone XR that's 4 years old and has 81% battery life. The reason I bought this phone is because my XR's screen is damaged. ... show more

  • Great quality, and customer service!
Size: 128GB Color: Green Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
For starters; the price on these phones is great. Between having the reassurance of Amazon buyer protection, and the benefit of knowing the device has been tested for performance, it’s well worth it. I needed a new phone fast after my cat knocked mine into the sink ā˜¹ļø Rice fixed it for a while, but it was only temporary before it died altogether. I hate buying phones and avoid it whenever possible. 99% of mine belonged to someone in my family first. And i was good with that. Needless to say, my cat didn’t wait for someone in my family to upgrade. I was on my own this time. Okay.... that’s not entirely true. My grandma had an iPhone 7 sitting around so that held me over in the meantime. Going from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to an iPhone 7 was….bad. It was too dam small, in every possible way. 32 gigs of memory!! I needed an upgrade. Fast. My 11 year old was bullying me relentlessly. And that’s on me. They had my old XR (formerly my dad’s) I scoured FB marketplace. I’d decided upgrade a little, so I could feel better about the switch. I didn’t want to feel backed me into a corner by my cat’s recklessness. I would get a slightly newer model in a fun colour. Marketplace had plenty. Sending message after message from my iPhone 7, I worried. ā€œThis person seems too eagerā€, ā€œthis one has been posted so longā€, ā€œI want a purple, but the only purple one listed has less storage spaceā€ and ā€œthe pretty green one has a small crackā€, ā€œthis guy lives 2 hours from meā€ and ā€œBattery life? Errr last time I checked it was like 74%?….no, I can’t take a screenshot of it, it’s turned offā€ā€¦. ā€œcash only pleaseā€ Etc. So much pressure. What happens if the thing doesn’t work? That’s $300+ down the drain. I knew I couldn’t afford new. But I hated the idea of buying something used from a stranger on Facebook. I didn’t want to get scammed, and I also didn’t want to settle. That’s when I remembered good ol’ Amazon. Maybe I’d check there. Just for funsies. Probably out of my budget, but it couldn’t hurt. Sure enough, refurbished devices selling ā€œlike new!ā€ Mostly same cost or less than what I’d found so far. Surely there was a catch? I read through everything, tested by Amazon, includes all the specs, unlocked, I can pick the colour, the storage size, the condition, etc. AND I could have it delivered to me tomorrow??! With a warranty?!! I recovered from my brief stint of disappointment after learning the 12’s don’t come in yellow. Then fought hard to decide between mint and lavender. The lavender would take an extra day to arrive. Mint it was!! As promised, it arrived the next day. It was in beautiful shape. 128g’s, mint green, not a single scratch, 86% battery life. All for less than I would have paid to some stranger for a 64g with some ā€œsmall scratchesā€ Once my case and screen protector arrived I excitedly set it up and synced my data. Oh no. The FACE ID DIDNT WORK 😭 After becoming used to facial recognition, having that yanked away, and dealing with a 7 for over 2 weeks— I was desperate for the convenience of Face ID. I had been using my fingerprint. Like a *caveman*. Not to mention I have Blink 182 tickets, and it specifically states facial recognition is required to access the mobile tickets. Idk if that’s true, but I needed Face ID!! I googled, I contacted apple support. Fixing it could be upwards of $300. That’s almost what I paid for the whole phone!! I realllllly didn’t want to be stuck without a phone again. But I also wanted one fully functioning. So I reached out to Amazon support and explained. The rep was incredibly helpful (as most Amazon reps are) and after bts failed, she advised the ship was a 3rd party seller, and she send a message to them. ā€œIf they don’t fix it by (insert date) contact us back and we’ll make this rightā€ she encouraged. I’m ngl. I was nervous. I didn’t have high hopes, having dealt with 3p sellers on Amazon in the past. At least Amazon had my back, ig. The concert wasn’t till July. Even without facial recognition, it was loads better than the 7. I could make do in the meantime. The seller came in clutch though, and my worry was unwarranted. They responded within minutes. They were receptive, apologetic, and more than willing to help. As I’d anticipated, they offered a refund or exchange, as soon as they received the return. I explained my concern with not having a phone for several days or more; and the merchant offered to overnight a replacement as soon as the return was dropped off. I could deal with one day without a phone! I gratefully accepted. That was Saturday night, we made plans to catch up Monday for the return instructions and for them to overnight it. Monday I reached back out; and they were ready to ship, BUT they *had no more green….* 🫢 SHOCK ā€œā€¦do you have purpleā€ No. :( just blue, white, and black. THIS WAS A HUGE BUMMER.It’s silly I know, and the definition of *first world problems ā€œ.. but I mean…. My change of heart about this whole phone thing HINGED ON THE FUN COLOUR. Without it, I was just a person…out $350… because my cat was thirsty while I was watching YouTube while washing dishes. I needed a cool colour. Plus, I’d already gotten the matching case! Clear with mint green borders. It wasn’t even a fun blue… it was a dark, serious, navy blue. It was pretty and classy, but I wanted something fun. I even asked if he had any older models in yellow 😭😭 no luck, They told me they’d be restocking in a day or so. Still, no greens or purples came in. Ugh. Reality was setting in. I was going to have to settle. It was fine, I thought. At least it would be a fully functioning phone. No. I wasn’t ready to let go. They assured me I could take my time to decide, and I asked if we could wait another week in case one came in. If it didn’t, *then* I would choose from the options available. I messaged them Wednesday afternoon, bracing myself for the answer…. THEY GOT IN PURPLE! YAY. They sent a label, I dropped it off, sent a photo, and had my new phone the next morning. they’d said overnight shipping… but wow! I’d dropped off the return around 3pm, and had the replacement by noon the next day. I didn’t even have my new case yet šŸ˜… Despite the Barney-Esque colour scheme my mint green case created, the lavender is GORGEOUS and I’m actually sort of glad the green didn’t work out. Don’t get me wrong, the green is also gorgeous.. but in the end I’m glad I ended up with the lavender. I was overjoyed when I was prompted to set Face ID during setup. Worked brilliantly, as did everything else. Great packaging, no cosmetic flaws, amazing battery life, customer service was great, and best of all… ITS PURPLE! Can’t wait to pair it with the new case. I’m so glad I went this route where I have some peace of mind as a buyer. I’m grateful to the seller for being so helpful and patient with me as insufferable as I must have seemed making such a fuss over colour preference If you’re nervous buying a phone used or refurbished too, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing- this seller is legit. You receive a good quality product, and, speaking from experience, they’ll gladly help resolve any issues you may run into. ... show more

  • Great phone at a great price.
Size: 256GB Color: Black Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I’ve been using this phone for three days and I’m very happy with it. There has been a learning curve as I upgraded from an iPhone SE2. It’s a bit bigger overall, but the screen has much more room. The only issue was I had to completely restore using iTunes at set up. It took maybe an hour total to download/install iOS 26.0.1 and transfer files from my old phone. To my pleasant surprise, I got a battery that is 100% capacity. That’s wonderful considering this is a renewed phone. Cosmetically the phone is perfect. I’ll update if any issues arise, so if you’re reading this with no update, I highly recommend! Great phone at a great price. ... show more

When I got it was a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be but works well and even came with a screen protector already on(no case though). It has great durability, I did drop it and thought the actual screen cracked but was glad to see it didnt. Works well with Bluetooth and charges great.

Not my favorite refurbished device/product.

I will say it’s got a pretty good camera and I do like the quality it. Decent storage space. Easy transfer set up method or manual setup which is easy as well.

  • Like-New Phone for a Friend
Size: 128GB Color: Green Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I ordered this renewed iPhone for a friend who needed an upgrade from her old, slow device but couldn't afford a brand new one. I was looking for a cost-effective option that was still in great condition, and this one really delivered. When it arrived, I was impressed with the packaging; it was secure and well-protected. The phone itself looks great—there are no visible scratches or dents, and it truly appears to be in like-new condition. I was happy to see that it also included a charging cable, though I did note that it was a Lightning charger, as it's an older model. The phone powered on without any issues, and the screen looks perfect. It's fully unlocked, which is exactly what we needed. I'm really pleased with the quality of this renewed device, and it's a great way to get a solid, functioning phone without the high cost of a new one. It's a perfect gift and so far, there are no cons to mention. ... show more
