  • Best Phone and Best Value
Size: 128GB Color: Blue Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
My phone arrived FedEX SDR (Saturday Delivery) which was completely unexpected. I was blown away by the turn around time from when I pushed Order to Delivered. The which I received arrived in the most pristine condition - such that if it wasn't in bubble wrap I would have thought it was the newest iPhone. Not a scratch nor crack and it started right up. The price point was also under my budget. ... show more

The phone had no physical damage. The phone was literally brand new. The cost of the phone saved me hundreds of dollars. Everything works perfectly. Setup was easy. This was the perfect gift for my daughter and she loves it. The speed, app availability, and the fit of the phone is amazing.

  • DON’T BUY IT
Size: 256GB Color: Blue Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I think people should be warned. I’ve been through four of these phones in a couple months, and they have all had major issues from Camera not working to audio issues, and the worst of all one COMPLETELY DIED after four months. Unfortunately, the Amazon warranty is only three months. (I thought it was one year because other competitors offer that. But it does clearly say on their page that it’s only three months.) During these three months, they to completely refund you no problem or fix the issue that you report. But unfortunately the phone I kept died on month four, while I was on vacation to make matters worse. Seems like the sellers are always different stores, but all amazon approved and they follow some sort of Amazon standards for these phones. But it seems to me that these phones have really severe issues so these Amazon sellers fix the phones to a certain standard, but they are not in good condition. All the sellers are polite and responsive, but the issue is the actual phones and their conditions. Even though these phones are used, they are not cheap, they should function properly. I’ve been an Amazon customer for years and I really haven’t had any issue with them. That was the reason why I decided to buy the used phone on Amazon instead of a competitor. But this is truly disappointing to the point that I think I’m going to report them to the Better Business Bureau. They should not be selling phones in this condition. FULL STORY Phone 1: iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition ) Received Mid October Seller: Kojak sales When I receive the phone physically it seems fine. But as soon as I put a case on it, a lot of little pieces of paint started coming off of it and then you could tell it had a lot of scratches on the case so somebody was trying to cover the scratches, then I put a screen protector on it, and after trying to I could not get rid of a humongous huge bubble, took a third of the screen. So some thing was hinting to me that the screen was not straight. In my opinion, the phone shouldn’t have been sold as good condition with so many scratches but since I don’t care about the look as much as functionality, I move forward. But then, after a few weeks of using the phone, I realized things were not working properly. The camera was very slow at taking pictures if it was dark or if you were using inside the message or WhatsApp. Also, if I received a text while listening to videos or video calls, the speaker would suddenly gets super low, and I could barely hear the video for about two minutes . (usually this lowering of audio feature happens only for five or 10 seconds). This was worrying me so I contacted the seller and told him I wanted to change the phone and he said no problem. Since I was still thinking that this was bad luck, but in general, I liked the iPhone 12 I decided to buy another phone as a replacement, and one more phone as a Christmas gift. I’ll explain below the problems with those phones, but since the problems were actually worse than the current first phone I had in my possession, I never gave back this phone. I kept thinking that maybe the issues would get better with update and also, in my mind, I thought I had a year warranty. Unfortunately, in February while away on vacation the phone one morning, simply never turned on again. My dad is an engineer and he tried helping me connect it to computer and nothing it’s like the battery is no longer connected. I’m sure you can imagine the horrendous time I had the following week without my phone., traveling.. Things got worse when I got home and was able to contact the seller. I then discovered the warranty was only 90 days and that date had passed. After some back-and-forth the seller Kojak sales said they can fix it for $39 and I pay for shipping. I have still not done this since I’m skeptical and don’t understand how they can give me a price if they don’t even know the actual problem or if they need parts. But I really have no other option, or I lose $241 or I pay $60 more. (also, I have to figure out how to erase the phone from a PC if the phone doesn’t even turn on. I’m sad I’m gonna lose all my pictures from the last four months) After I send them the phone, I will update this review. -Phone 2 and 3- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition ) Received Mid begging of december Seller: Wilzee So one of these phones was supposed to be replacement for my phone and the second phone was gonna be a Christmas gift. But the first one was so scratch that I didn’t even set it up and I gave it back, no problem and the other phone after giving it as a gift, a little embarrassed with all the scratches, we set it up and realized the camera did not focus at all so I also gave this phone back and received a refund no issue. -4th Phone- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered EXCELLENT condition ) Received mid January Seller: PDI Mobile This phone did actually look really good in the outside barely any scratches. I was very happy with the look. But after setting it up again, the camera could not focus so we contacted the seller and sent it back and they fix the camera then after a few weeks of using also, it has audio issues. We’re looking at social media videos suddenly that audio lowers a lot. Since at this my 1st phone died suddenly we decided to give this 4th phone back. I don’t wanna take any chances since the quality of the phones is clearly not good. I don’t expect an issue with the refund. But I will update this review if I do. ... show more

  • If at first you don't succeed, try again
Size: 64GB Color: Blue Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
The first iPhone 12 mini I ordered was from WirelessSource in Excellent condition. It arrived with many chips on the case, a scratch on the display that was not noticeable with the display on, 79% battery Maximum Capacity, and the wide angle camera unable to focus (the ultra wide camera worked). Fortunately it was easy to get return authorization after sending them an out of focus picture taken with the camera. I was disappointed that an Excellent phone was delivered in less than Acceptable condition, but it worked out better for me. The second iPhone I ordered was sold by S?? in Premium condition and delivered by Amazon, for only $13 more than the previous iPhone. This phone arrived in its original box and looked new. I thought maybe it was new, until I checked the battery maximum capacity, it was right at the 90% threshold for a Premium phone. After using the phone a few weeks I did notice one pin prick size nick on the side if the sun hits the phone at the right angle, and the battery capacity dropped to 89%. After using the phone for 6 months the battery capacity is still 89%, and I'm very happy with the purchase. I just ordered another iPhone 12 as a gift, in Premium condition, sold and delivered by Amazon. ... show more

  • Great Value iPhone – Like New and Reliable
Size: 64GB Color: Blue Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I was honestly expecting this purchase to be a bit of a gamble, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The iPhone arrived in like-new condition—no scratches, no performance issues, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. The screen is bright and clear, the phone feels solid and durable, and it charges quickly. I also appreciated that it came fully unlocked, which made setup with my carrier easy and hassle-free. Another nice bonus: I had multiple color options to choose from, which isn’t always the case with refurbished phones. The only downside I’ve noticed is that the battery doesn’t hold a charge as long as a brand-new phone, but it’s still more than usable for a full day with moderate use. If needed, a battery replacement down the road would still make this a great deal overall. If you’re looking for a quality replacement iPhone at a great price, this is probably the best option I’ve come across. Definitely recommended! ... show more

Even in 2025, this is still a perfectly cromulent phone. I love the size. It's a shame Apple doesn't make small phones any more.
