  • A Premium iPhone with great features
Wireless Provider: Unlocked for All Carriers Color: Pacific Blue Memory Storage Capacity: 512 GB
I ordered mine in January of this year so I've used it for a half year thus far and am pleased with this model iPhone. A couple issues straight away were: battery was listed as 90% health or better but that wasn't the case. My iPhone arrived with 87% battery health. There was also a few little scratches on the front glass but once I had the glass screen protector installed you couldn't see them. so no problem. Everything else on this iPhone worked perfectly. Since I ordered the premium version (for a higher price of course) the battery health was an issue. I didn't want to return the iPhone for a replacement after setting it up et al, I was able to receive a small partial refund for the battery health not being as stated. It has remained at 87% for these past 6 months and lasts a long time. It's an excellent phone. The camera lenses are great; I am glad to have the 3 lenses and use all of them regularly. And the large HD space, 512GB is fantastic - the largest I've ever had in an iPhone and am not concerned if I am shooting some 4k video as I won't run out of space. I also like that it still takes a physical SIM card. (not just the e-sim) I have Verizon and everything just works. (You provide the SIM card) This is the first time I purchased a 'refurb' Apple iPhone through amazon. I was a bit concerned before buying but once mine arrived and we got the wrinkles out I am very pleased and happy with my purchase. I was just tonight looking at the apple website and they have refurb items and they had this exact iPhone - but for more than I paid. Their's came with a new battery, that would be nice, but my phone just works perfectly, does everything it should and battery lasts long. When I need a battery, I can get Apple certified replacement of that so this phone is going to last me a long time. Oh, it's got 5G too. Though around here it's still LTE or 4G. A winner! ... show more

  • Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, 512GB, Gold - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)
Wireless Provider: Unlocked Color: Gold Memory Storage Capacity: 512 GB
My iPhone 12 Pro Max of 3 years met an unfortunate end the other day when it flew out of its holder while running into the road at an intersection, then got run over. Of all things, the *back glass* was shattered. As it turns out this is the worst glass to break. There was nothing wrong with this phone after 3 years, and I couldn't stomach $1700 for a top of the line iPhone 15. So here I am. I opted for the "Renewed Premium" version. I was already facing $499 in repairs from Apple, and all they were going to do was chisel the old glass off my phone, do some surgery, and affix a new back. I just didn't feel like that was a great value. The phone I received was basically flawless. No scratches anywhere. 100% battery. All for $650, and I was able to trade my busted iPhone in for $125 (at least it's something). You cannot buy Apple+ care as you can if you buy a refurbished phone from Apple, but to get this from Apple will run you $850, not including the Apple+ plan. At that level you're creeping closer to asking yourself why you aren't just upgrading. What you do get with the Renewed Premium version is 1 year to return the product, vs. 90 days for regular Renewed. They caution against abuse and I don't see myself using it, but it gives me peace of mind. ... show more

  • Pretty good phone but the battery
Wireless Provider: Unlocked for All Carriers Color: Pacific Blue Memory Storage Capacity: 256 GB
Good phone, but the battery dies little too fast. While not used through the night it dopped like between 5%-10% which I don't like. And the phone gets hot while playing multi-player online games

  • Took twice but it was worth it! update Jan 2023
Wireless Provider: Unlocked for All Carriers Color: Pacific Blue Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB
UPDATE: I bought the premium renewed iphone for their one YEAR satisfaction GUARANTEE with free returns and a complete refund for any reason. I bought this in May of 2022 for $900 and returned this in December 2022 However after 3 weeks of waiting I finally got my refund for $794. After hours of being juggled between representatives I was finally told that there is a 100 dollar restocking fee despite no where anywhere was it explained that there would be a restocking fee. Amazon representatives on multiple times lied to me and refused to help resolve the situation the last person I spoke to Danica A in the Philippines claimed over our 40 mintue conversation that she was the head of Amazon worldwide customer service yet also saying that she had a supervisor but refused to connect me to them because they were not equipped to handle customer service issues....do you realize how insane that is she refused to give me any information that would allow me to report her to Amazon corporate office except her first name and last initial which was most likely a lie. I paid an extra 100 dollar (apprx) for the premium renewed plan but no one I spoke to even knew what that was. I cannot emphasize highly enough that you should avoid this at all cost because they will 100% screw you over bewhare do not do this do not buy this I can't emphatically explain to you enough why you need to avoid this. Unfortunately Amazons gotten so big and taken over so much of the market share that no one can compete with their prices so if I want a phone at a reasonable price I have to buy it from them. I've been a loyal customer for years and spent thousands of dollars of my money on them If I could never buy from them again I never would. That is how much they have damaged the customer loyalty bond. Just PLEASE BEWHARE what you risk if you go ahead and purchase something from them lies, deceit, manipulation, terrible service, financial loss, and hours of lost time being juggled between representatives. May 2022 So this is my first experience with Amazon's renewed premium program where you pay between $50-$100 more than the renewed price but for that you get an item whose battery is at least at 90% capacity relative to a new one and instead of a 90 day warranty you get a year warranty and a year to return the item. For less than $100 I thought that was definitely worth it. However the first iPhone 12 pro they sent me had a battery that was at 85% capacity which really pissed me off because I felt cheated so I returned it and purchased it again and I'm glad I did because the 2nd ones battery was at 100% capacity and for all intents and purposes it was a brand new phone at a used price. Granted it's still really expensive it was $900 before tax but I got this to be future proof at least for the next several years. This is my first iPhone before I was all android phones but it seemed like every year I was having to buy another phone because something out of my control always happened but my parents still had their iPhone 8 that they bought new and it was still working perfectly. I haven't had this phone for more than a few days but so far I'm very impressed with it. The facial recognition capabilities are so good. My phone can recognize me when I'm in a dark room whereas my Samsung tablet can't recognize my face without all the lights on. One feature this phone doesn't have that really surprised me was that there is no built in fingerprint scanner and I think that was a mistake on apple's part. The battery is supposed to only last 21 hours but a full charge is lasting me a little over 2 days. The screen is gorgeous is it HDR Dolby Vision and HLG compatible and not even my 4k tv supports all of those so it makes streaming look brilliant. You can see every detail even though the screen is 6.7inches. it seems like everyday I'm finding out a new function that this phone has granted a lot them I'll never use because I don't use my phone that way but it's cool to know that if I wanted to I could if I so choosed. I guess I'll stop my review here because you get the gist and I hate it when people on Amazon beat a dead horse and I don't want to be one of those so Amazon renewed premium is a worthwhile program and the iPhone 12 pro max is an awesome phone that's worth the investment. ... show more
