Incredibly happy with the condition of this iPhone both cosmetically and battery health
Color: Midnight
Service provider: Unlocked
Memory Storage Capacity: 256 GB
Product grade: Renewed
I ordered an iPhone 14 Refurbished Excellent from Amazons Renewed store but the first one arrived marked (Refurbished Good) I could see some small scratches and the battery health was at the bare minimum of 80% when 99% of Refurbished sellers rate Renewed Excellent as cosmetically near perfect and mi
nimum battery health 85%+ so after speaking with CS and supervisors over a 5 day period and being promised several different things like partial refund or replacement (None of which happened and I was starting to get upset as I have been a Prime member for over 20 years so I just returned it and ordered another one from the Amazon Renewed store but the next morning I recieved a message/email from Amazon saying that the replacement iPhone I just ordered was coming from a seller other then the one I ordered it from? I contacted this 3rd party seller and explained what a bad experience I had had with the first one I ordered and they assured me that this time from them I would be receiving what I bought and paid for and I must say those words made me feel better so today when i received the iPhone I first looked it over and it was in pristine condition and the battery health was so much better then the first, in fact it was so good 90%+ that it made my whole day. I'm not a complainer at all generally but I also always stand up for myself when there is an issue with an order and I'm glad I did because as I stated this iPhone was leaps and bounds above the first one I received and so my hat is off to Cell Surfers who sell their refurbished iPhones on the Amazon renewed store occasionally if Amazon runs out of stock or their is an issue. I'm very happy with this and as it was a Birthday present I wanted it to be exactly what I paid for which was Refurbished Excellent and so far that's what I received (Possibly better) Now I just have to set it up and see if everything works correctly which I think it will.

I survived the refurbished iPhone lottery š

iām not gonna lie, i went into this fully prepared to be bamboozled lol. the reviews were mostly good, but there were enough horror stories mixed in that i really had no idea what was going to show up at my door. refurbished phones seem to range from ābasically brand newā to āthis thing has clearly s
een some things.ā somehow, i ended up on the good side of the refurbished phone lottery. the iPhone 14 i received is honestly in near perfect condition. whoever owned this thing before me must have kept it protected because there are basically no scratches or noticeable wear. the only thing i can find is a tiny bit of discoloration around the outer edge of the camera area, and you really have to be looking for it. battery health came in at 85%, which iām perfectly happy with. i was coming from an iPhone 12 Pro sitting at 75%, so 85% feels downright luxurious at this point lol. iāve tested everything i normally use and the phone works exactly like it should. if you handed it to me without telling me it was refurbished, i genuinely wouldnāt know. if you live on your phone all day scrolling social media and battery life is everything to you, buying new might still make more sense. but if youāre like me and mostly use your phone for texting, email, looking things up, and normal everyday apps, this is more than enough phone. obviously refurbished is always going to be a little bit of a gamble, but this time Amazon dealt me a pretty good hand. iām extremely happy with what i got and iāll absolutely buy refurbished again. next time i might even get brave and try the higher-tier Renewed option. apparently this is who i am now. š

iPhone 4purchase

For the price of the phone and the condition, the phone is very good compared to my old iPhone 12 that it replaced. I selected the new phone vs a refurbished option, purchased the phone on 04/05/26..the phone occasionally glitches and there are times when it seems to not to respond to touch and also
feels slightly warm after excessive usage. The charger that came with the phone charges fairly slow, but it forces me to stay off of the phone until itās fully charged. Battery life was pretty decent, it was listed as 98%. Aside from the minor issues, the phone works exceptionally better than my old phone, it was easy to transfer all of my old data from the previous phone over, the camera quality is goodā¦overall, I have no further complaints. Will I purchase again? Yes.

I have to say, I have charged this phone to 100% twice now (only have had the phone a few days). In standby for 24 hours, the phone only lost 16% charge. I was able to upgrade to iOS 26. I purchased this phone for traveling by plane. I don't want to bring my iPhone 15 so I needed at least an iPhone 1
4 for transferring the eSIM. This part I have not done yet because I'm not traveling for another month, but will update this review after my trip. Because it's a travel phone, I didn't want to sync anything, especially the passwords. I only wanted the phone for phone calls and messages. There wasn't an option when setting up the phone to skip syncing, only skipping back up. I had to stop the syncing in progress and delete what was synced. You must disable syncing before deleting else you may delete what's in the cloud. I was nervous about buying this based on the negative seller reviews. I typically don't purchase from third party sellers because returns can be difficult, as a lot of seller reviews noted. I saw one review that stated they were only able to get a full refund with photo proof and help from Amazon. So, I had the phone shipped to UPS and recorded the unboxing to alleviate any accusations that I, the customer, caused any damage. The phone looked fine. I purchased "excellent" condition, which speaks to the visible condition of the phone. I can see the scratch on the screen from more than a foot away, but my concern was more about the condition/performance of the phone. I wish Amazon would assist more with returns, as it seems many were left unsatisfied. I hope that my experience becomes more the norm. I had a lot of anxiety over this and I'm glad it worked out, but I feel it would be hit or miss in general if a return is needed.

I was skeptical so I got the insurance, but honestly this phone was near new. I have zero issues, no scratches, great battery life. It just needed to be wiped down. Would purchase again, for sure!

This iPhone Version is Garbage. Clunky Metal Box
Color: Yellow
Service provider: Unlocked
Memory Storage Capacity: 128 GB
Product grade: Renewed
Giving a 3 because I hate this version of the iPhone and set up was NOT easy. And if you have Verizon as your cell carrier, they make it a nightmare to switch. Took 2.5 hours on the phone with them. Keep that in mind and go in person to the store. I wish we had. It also says it may not have an apple
battery. See photo. Whatās that about???? Upgrading? Donāt upgrade to this crap. I know it sounds weird, but Iāve had my XR for almost 7 years. I never had any issues with it, aside from less battery time. My husbandās isn't working properly so I thought Iād just upgrade both phones. I HATE the 14. Itās small, heavy, square and CLUNKY feeling. Why is my very old phone so much more light, thin, sleek and more modern looking? This Thing looks like an original iPhone. Iām still debating going back to my XR and returning this heavy hunk of metal. As far as condition, it looks great, aside from some scratches around the camera lenses, and mine does have 100% battery life. But I am very disappointed in the overall look and feel. I thought I would have been so excited getting a new iPhone after 7 years. Instead I looked at, looked at my old one and said, wow this new one is garbage. Maybe there is another version that is lighter and more modern and doesnāt look and feel like is from 2010, but this isnāt it. Save up some more and get a different version, I might do that still. Trust me, you wonāt be happy with this small metal brick.
