  • Looks like a new iPhone, exceptional value
Size: 128GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Ordered based off of other reviews. Was time to get our 12 year old his first phone. A new iPhone with my carrier was $1,000 with no existing phone to trade in. Took a chance on Amazon Renewed iPhone 12 Mini. At this price, if we lost it, broke it, or whatever- it was a good business case. Phone was sent FedEx shipping and had it in one day. You couldn't tell the phone was ever used. Came with pre-installed screen protector with no "bubbles"- better than I could have installed one honestly. Packaging was supurb, and came with a used charging brick in great condition, and what appeared to be a new charging cable to match. Phone stated it was unlocked. Tried to add new line with phone to my carrier plan and ran into issue. Called carrier, and they did a few resets to the carrier profile of the phone, and verified it was unlocked. Within 30 minutes had the phone up and running. Box stated the battery to be 85%, and that was verified in the phone's settings to be correct. No issues at all, phone holds a full charge alomst as well as any new iPhone I have ever purchased for 4x the cost. Did not have high hopes for Renewed, but turns out this was like getting a pretty much new device, so my expectations were far exceeded. Told my wife I would not hesitate to go this route on another Renewed iPhone when my existing iPhone is paid off with my carrier, and save a monthly equipment payment going forward. Sure it is not the latest iPhone, but honestly- most of the improvements that the end-user really sees every year is in the camera- not so much a fancy new chip with marginal speed improvements on the same phone form factor. Is that worth $1,000 a year- that is a personal decision. Great purchase experience and value. For purchasing a phone for a teenager where you are worried about losing or breaking, this is a great option that one should explore before plunking down money on a risky purchase with a new carrier phone financed over 2-years. Also saves paying up to $20 a month for an insurance plan on said phone. ... show more

  • Renewed iphone looks good
Size: 128GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Recieved renewed iPhone 12 mini, Overall I am pleased. The phone looks new no scratches or dents etc. The phone works well, so far so good . I am however a little disapointed that the battery health was only 82%. Most of the reviews that I read before I made the purchase had battery health much higher than that. Will see how it goes. ... show more

  • Perfect Working Condition with No Cracks
Size: 128GB Color: White Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I decided to get this phone is acceptable condition, and was not disappointed. The phone battery health came in at 85%. I was impressed to see the cameras, speakers, and charging ports were all in great working order. The phone itself was well packaged and included a charger, and charging brick. There were some scuffs on the metal frame of the phone, but both front and back glass panels arrived uncracked. I couldn't be happier with this purchasing experience. ... show more

  • Amazing phone, not so great battery
Size: 64GB Color: White Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I bought this phone in excellent condition about 6 months ago and have been using it daily since. I'm a teenager and I'm on my phone pretty regularly. It had 100% battery capacity when I bought it, which since dropped to 98%, which isn't terrible. About a week ago my phone randomly died and restarted, which was weird because it was on full battery, but I thought maybe it updated or something. When it restarted it read as "0% battery" and I kept getting "Important Battery Messages". Basically, my battery suddenly completely died, and every time I'd turn my phone on it'd last about a minute before dying and restarting again. It wouldn't charge at all so I powered it off fully. I took it to get fixed yesterday and paid about $120 for a full battery replacement. Other than the battery, it's an excellent phone and I have no complaints. I love the features and camera. So anyways, be mindful buying that you get what you pay for when buying a refurbished phone, and no used phone you buy will be perfect. ... show more

  • Excellent, 100% Recommend!
Size: 128GB Color: White Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Loving this iPhone! I have no negative comments so far. I read a few reviews complaining of the maximum capacity on the battery of the iPhones they received.. the maximum capacity battery on the iPhone I received is 84%, however I am not complaining! So far I haven’t had any issues! The camera quality is outstanding, the size is perfect, and the quality of the phone itself is superb. This is one heck of an upgrade compared to my cracked, overheating, outdated iPhone 8! I absolutely recommend purchasing your next iPhone from this seller! Thank you πŸ™πŸΌ ... show more

  • Phone used condition better than expected ...
Size: 256GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Update: 6hrs after receiving - Very happy ! Phone was in excellent shape, even tho I ordered "good" condition . I looked closely but couldn't find any blemishes to finish. Wiped clean for easy set up, using "transfer info from old phone". Battery was at 95% health. Very satisfied with purchase. (only star- ding was for packaging) Just delivered: ... packed in a thin envelope of bubble wrap and thrown loosley into a carboard box, which was put in a paper envelope. Box was damaged but no discernable damage to phone (sheer luck!). My first reaction was to return because of flattened box, but I will inspect/test phone thoroughly. ... show more
