Just like new!

I decided to upgrade my phone from an iPhone 5S (yeah, it was that old). After some research, and looking at what was available on Amazon I decided on the 7 plus. Since refurbished phones were the only ones available, I decided to try it out. The phone arrived in a generic box (as advertised) with a
charging cable. There was no documentation, and no little plastic dock thing like you get with the older iPhones (not sure if new ones ship with this now). Just the phone and charger. The charger appears to be a non-Apple brand (again, as advertised) but decent quality. It's the kind with a plug in part and a separate usb-to-lightening cable. Forgive my ignorance if they're all that way now. Anyway, the phone itself was in good condition and arrived charged. It was protected with the cellophane cling wrap and it was in a plastic baggie. I didn't notice any flaws, although I didn't scrutinize it much as I knew I was going to put it in a case. There was a sticker on the back with the IMEI on it, which I suppose might bother some people. I just left it on -- again, under the case I bought. Having used a 5S as my first smart phone for several years, I am impressed with the 7S. It seems to function well. Battery life is better than my old phone, as one would expect. Setting it up was easy except for one minor wrinkle. Basically you just swap the SIM card (they both use nano), enable Bluetooth on both phones, and put them side-by-side. Somehow they know you want to switch from one phone to the other, and you just follow the prompts. When you're done your new phone has all the same apps and settings as the other one. Halfway through it asks you to sign in to your (iTunes?) account on the new phone. Here when I put in my info it kept saying it couldn't sign me in. I had to abort the setup and start over. I think I was missing something on the old phone where I was supposed to acknowledge the sign-in somehow. Whatever. After a few tries it worked. Now it works and looks just like a brand new iPhone, and the cost was a fraction of what I paid for even the brand new 5S when I bought it. Interestingly, I can still operate the old 5S as a mini-tablet, and even connect to WiFi. There's just no cell service because the SIM is in my new phone. Theoretically maybe I could keep it as a backup phone in case the 7 plus gets broken. There are a few things to consider. First, any non-factory apps you installed need to be downloaded again. It knows what apps were on your old phone, but I guess it doesn't actually transfer the apps... just the icons. If you think about it, this is smart. Why waste your setup time transferring over all that data you can just download as you go. It does transfer all your pictures and other files, which you might not have been able to download from anywhere except maybe iCloud. Downloading the apps can take some time. You get the dimmed out icon with a progress circle. During this time you can't use the apps. I suggest maybe letting it chug along overnight while connected to WiFi and you'll be ready to go in the morning. Alternately, if there are one or two you need sooner, you can just touch the icons for the others one-by-one to pause the downloads. Then the running downloads might go more quickly. You will also need to redo your fingerprint ID on the new phone. Another thing is it does NOT come with earbuds (as forewarned on Amazon). This phone doesn't have a headphone jack, so you need to buy the wireless earbuds, which can cost anywhere from $35 upwards of $80. Cosmetically, I mentioned the sticker and that I didn't really sweat whether there were any scratches (didn't see any obvious ones). I bought the black phone. The color didn't matter much because I put it in a case, but I did think a bit about whether I wanted the face to be black or white. I wanted black. The thing I didn't consider is the case I ultimately bought has a hole on the back where you can see the Apple logo (by design). Being the black phone, this detail is lost because the black logo on the black phone lacks contrast. It might have looked nicer if I picked a different color like silver. Oh well. I guess Steve Jobs would consider me uncouth.

I bought this iPhone 7 plus for my granddaughter to replace a 6 plus. This phone is in perfect condition. It really is like a brand new phone. Her 6 plus camera was not working properly. The phone was delivered on time and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!! Definitely recommend..

Phone arrived in good shape. Wrong cable was included though.
Color: Black
Size: 256GB
Style: GSM Carriers
Although the wrong cable did come as well as a faulty charging brick, working with amazon customer care to contact their customer care a resolution was met and satisfaction was met. The phone itself was in great shape and functioned without any issues. Due to the charging cable issues, I am only able
to give 4 stars.

Great Replacement.

I had crushed my Iphone 7 (Straight Talk, Verizon Carrier) and required a replacement. Straight Talk was straight up robbing me with their phone prices, so here I am. I found an Iphone 7S Unlocked here and nervously ordered, especially since it's a repaired phone. It was shipped quick but UPS decided
that it's best to take their time and walk it across the country. Nothing the seller could do, but I needed to whine somewhere. Phone arrived in a nice little package with a SIM card tool, Charger, and phone. Wrapped nicely, 10/10. Swapped my Sim Cards, took about 3 hours to update because of all the crap Apple makes you download plus my Cloud Backup, and then boom. I was back in action. Phone's touch screen is obviously been replaced. It's a bit bulkier than a normal phone, but who cares? It looks good, feels good, works great. Might as well be a new phone. Seller did great fixing it, or whomever fixed it. 10/10 - Do suggest this seller and this iphone.
