Frequently asked questions

An unlocked iPhone 13 Mini means that the device is not tethered to any specific carrier or contract. It can be used with any carrier that supports its network specifications, making it a versatile choice for people who travel frequently or want to switch carriers without changing phones.

A 'Renewed' iPhone 13 Mini has been inspected and refurbished to work and look like new. It is usually sold by third-party vendors and should come with a limited warranty. Renewed devices have been tested to ensure they meet specified performance standards.

The 128GB on an iPhone 13 Mini refers to the internal storage capacity of the phone. It indicates how much data, including apps, photos, videos, and music, you can store directly on the device without the need for additional storage solutions.

Battery health on a Renewed iPhone 13 Mini can vary, as these phones are not new. Sellers are expected to ensure the battery meets a minimum threshold of performance, typically around 80% of original capacity or more. However, check the vendor's specific terms for details on battery health guarantees.

Top Amazon Reviews

๐Ÿš€ Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


Customers have found the refurbished iPhone 13 Mini to generally exceed expectations, with most units arriving in like-new condition and with high battery health. Users appreciate the compact size, with many specifically seeking out the mini model due to the discontinued production of new units in this form factor. Battery life and camera quality are noted concerns but seem to be balanced out by the convenience and satisfaction of using a smaller phone.

Pros

  • ๐ŸŒŸ High customer satisfaction with the like-new condition of the refurbished phones
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Praise for the compact size and ease of handling
  • ๐Ÿ”‹ Battery health on arrival often reported to be very good (above 85%)
  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ More affordable than buying new
  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Satisfactory camera quality mentioned in context with the price point

Cons

  • ๐Ÿ”Œ Some users report that the battery life may be insufficient for heavy usage
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Camera quality perceived as a downgrade from newer or Pro models
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Occasional reports of defective units, though exchanges seem to be straightforward

Should I Buy It?

If you're a fan of smaller phones and don't mind the potential need for more frequent charging, the iPhone 13 Mini refurbished seems to be a solid choice. The general consensus is positive, especially for those looking for a compact and affordable iPhone. The purchase feels less risky with reports of responsive exchange policies, though if the camera and battery are top priorities for you, considering newer or Pro models might be worthwhile.


  • Pleasantly surprised. Excellent condition, no scratches or dings, passed two diagnostics..
Size: 256GB Color: Midnight Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I was on a waiting list for a 'Renewed Premium'. Seems to be a long waiting list. I finally gave up and went with a 'Renewed' advertised in excellent condition. Given Amazon's generous return policy, I would have been able to return it easily if there were issues. I probably wouldn't have tried this with an online retailer other than Amazon or Apple. It arrived without scratches, dings, or apparent wear. Looks like new. That said, anyone buying a 'Renewed' phone should expect varying degrees of condition within the parameters of Amazon's advertising. I'd suggest buying a 'Renewed Premium' if you want a phone that's in like-new condition. I probably got lucky with a 'Renewed'. It shipped in *very* well designed and protective packaging designed for phones. Not likely to be damaged in transit short of extremely heavy crush damage. If you plan on shipping your phone or storing a back-up, I'd suggest keeping it. The box has spacers to accommodate different sizes. Kudos to the packaging engineers that designed this. Well done. It was delivered with 100% battery health which almost certainly means that the phone was opened up and the battery replaced. The likelihood of a 'renewed' 13 Mini arriving with battery health at 100% is slim to none. I assume that they did this because the phone was traded in with < 80% battery health. The advertising states that the phone will arrive with battery health of โ‰ฅ 80% battery health. Immediately after receiving it, I ran two diagnostics to check functions. In both cases, no issues. One of the diagnostics is built into iOS. You'll need iOS 17 or later and not a beta release. Search for 'built in iPhone diagnostic' for instructions. There's another which makes doing this quite a bit easier. From the Apple app store search for 'Phone Doctor Plus'. There's a free and paid version. It simplifies the process. Note that Phone Doctor Plus runs through the tests somewhat quickly and requires interaction with the user. This can result in a false fail for a few of the tests if you don't work quickly. When the test ends, it will ID which tests failed and allows you to re-test individually. There are other diagnostic apps but these are the only two I've tried. Alternatively, you can take it to an Apple store and ask them to do it for you. The advertising states that an MFi certified charging cable and a U/L certified charger are included. Don't expect Apple branded accessories. Mine shipped with a 3ft aftermarket USB C to Lightning charging cable but not a charger. I removed the interior packaging to check. Not a deal breaker but for those that are expecting a charger, fyi. Also advertised as an included accessory is a sim removal tool. I didn't find one in the box. If yours shipped with a SIM card, I'd read through the pros and cons of SIM vs eSIM. If eSIM meets your needs, I'd recommend removing the SIM, physically destroying it and switching to eSIM. Switching to eSIM can be done in your phone's settings. No expertise or hardware required. Although unlikely if buying from Amazon (I assume), SIM cards can be compromised. If you need a SIM card, probably best to get one from your carrier instead of a mystery SIM. You'll need a case. Without, it's not a matter of if you'll drop it but when. This is my second mini, the first an iPhone 12 Mini. Slippery and with a smaller form factor than other iPhones, very easy lose grip especially if you have large hands. Further, without a case the camera lenses and screen make contact with whatever surface you place them on. The Apple leather case has been my go-to for the last 3-4 phones. Very well designed, doesn't add significant bulk and the drop protection has proven to be excellent. Great case for all but extreme circumstances. Note that iPhone 12 and 13 mini cases are not interchangeable. The camera lens housings are different. The 12 mini case will not fit the 13 mini. The 13 mini case will fit the 12 mini but there will be a gap on the right side of the lens housing. Not to overstate it but If you're considering both the 12 mini and 13 mini, battery life may be problematic for heavy users and those who regularly use power hungry apps. GPS apps especially - Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber, etc. True of all phones but somewhat more so for a Mini. In my experience with the 12 Mini, especially once battery health drops into the low 90% range. If you're on the move a lot without convenient charging options, a small MagSafe power bank (โ‰ค 5000mAh) will bring some peace of mind and a lot of convenience. Great when traveling. If you're looking at both the 12 and 13 Minis, the 13 Mini uses an A15 processor which is more energy efficient and slightly faster. It also has a slightly larger battery. There are other differences including an upgraded camera in the 13 Mini. There are quite a few side by side comparison reviews. Worth checking out before buying. Happy customer. I'm fully committed to the Mini form factor/dimensions. I carry it all day in a front or back pocket and barely know it's there. When I need to replace it, perhaps Mini's will be back in the menu from Apple. Hope so. ... show more

  • The phone to get if you want small form-factor
First off, my phone came looking like-new with 100% battery health and an original screen. No signs of use whatsoever, very pleased. I came from a 13 Pro, upgraded to a 14 Pro, then "downgraded" to the 13 Mini as the heft and size were wearing down on me. Since Apple discontinued the Mini series, I figured this was my last chance to get in on this form factor, unless they bring it back for the SE series. For months, I loved everything about this phone. The weight, the size, the capabilities. As time went on, I realized that I am still using my phone just as much as I always do, and the battery was having difficulties keeping up. Yes, I could charge during the day (and I do have a magsafe battery pack) but doing so was annoying. Even moreso, I noticed that the camera quality was a big downgrade, something I didn't think I would care about. I was beginning to miss my old 13 Pro. The 13 Pro had better battery (in my experience) to the 14 Pro, and I remember taking some of my best pictures with it too. So I decided to utilize Amazon Premium Refurbished to get a 13 Pro as well, and I am equally as happy with it. I'm keeping both phones, I have a feeling I'll want the satisfaction of using a tiny phone again once in a while. But ultimately the battery, camera, and 120hz screen left me craving the 13 Pro again. If you don't use your phone way too much like I do and want a smaller iPhone, definitely get this while you still can. ... show more

  • Great phone, condition not quite as described - excellent follow up communication with seller.
Size: 128GB Color: Starlight Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Ordered this phone as an emergency replacement after my wife woke up to a completely dead phone. Was next day delivery and reasonably priced, and my wife loves the mini line that Apple has unfortunately discontinued. Overall the phone was nearly flawless, 89% battery health, however: it did arrive with about a half-inch gouge towards the bottom of the screen. Given the nature of our situation, a return would have been a massive headache to deal with, and the wife was okay with just rolling with it, especially with the addition of a white stone some screen protector. I did reach out to the seller for a partial refund to accurately reflect the condition of the phone and it was taken care of within a matter of minutes. Can't express how refreshing that level of customer service is. Wouldn't hesitate to make this emergency purchase again lol. ... show more

  • Amazon renewed kicked butt
Size: 256GB Color: Midnight Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I received a virtually new phone. NO scratches. New Battery with 100% battery health. After buying a phone from an online site and paying a premium for "excellent" condition, I received a phone with noticeable scratches, 81% battery health and a very disappointing experience. I found the Amazon phone for a lower price and returned the other purchase. After opening the Amazon box, I am so glad I made the change. ... show more

  • Love the smaller size, good camera
Size: 128GB Color: Midnight Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Iโ€™m replacing an I-Phone 7 which was way out of date. Donโ€™t need the latest and greatest this had a decent 128 GB of storage plenty for me. Camera works well, has two lenses but donโ€™t expect telephoto ability with this phone. This reconditioned phone came in excellent condition. Battery life was at 99% so maybe the battery was replaced. I have an I-Pad and a desk top I use for most of my work so the mini screen wasnโ€™t a problem. If you spend a lot of time on your phone you should probably get the larger phone. I like the smaller profile as itโ€™s in my pocket most of the time. Highly recommend purchasing a reconditioned phone from Amazon. ... show more

  • Poorly packaged but works well

This was sent to my house in a package made to fit a much larger phone with no material to buffer impact during shipping. However, I've had the phone for a couple of months now, and it works with no problem. When it arrived, the exterior of the phone was in great shape and the battery had 100% of life to it. ... show more
