Renewed Premium Quality ✅
Note that this review is based on 24 hours with the device, and will be updated at a later time if any issues arise. I selected the iPhone 13 mini 512GB in Starlight color, sold and shipped by Amazon, refurbished premium. The phone arrived as expected during the delivery window, which was a couple of weeks after purchase. It arrived in a sealed Amazon Renewed box, which contained the phone (with a protective sticker on the screen) and a USB-A to lightning cable. The body of the phone appears to be in like-new condition, no visible defects at all. The screen does have a couple of small scratches, but these are only noticeable on white screens - invisible in dark mode. I also immediately installed a glass screen protector, so the scratches can’t be felt now. Battery health shows as 100% and is noted as genuine. Thus far, battery life seems to be performing as expected for a new battery. I did notice the phone gets warm during charging - but not hot. The first few hours of use also caused it to heat up - but after all of the background downloads and system updates completed, that seems to have gone away. All things considered, super happy to have a small phone again. Will keep this for as long as Apple supports it, and I hope, like the rest of you, that another small device comes to market! ... show more

Screen Not Properly Applied
Size: 128GB Color: Pink Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed Premium
Review Image by FyreFlyeRush
There is a bubble underneath the screen. Clearly it had been replaced, which is fine, but make sure the replacement is correctly applied. Additionally, it clearly shouldn't have passed QC before going out. But what really irritates me is I can't request a replacement. I have to ship it back and request a refund. Then wait for the refund to apply. And then order a new one. This is the second time I've had to do this. The first time, they shipped me the wrong phone. I just want the product I ordered in the promised condition. It shouldn't be this difficult. NOTE - Battery life was 97%, but the dang thing was nearly melting. iPhone 13 mini had a heat problem, but not usually if it just idly sat there. ... show more

The phone to get if you want small form-factor
Size: 128GB Color: Starlight Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed Premium
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

Arrived in good condition – check iOS release level
Size: 256GB Color: Blue Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed Premium
The phone arrived on the day it was predicted. It was in good condition. No scratches on the screen or body. Started right up. Nice to know that other people took good care of their phones like I have every one of mine. There was an issue with migrating my data from my older phone to the new one. It turns out that my older phone had a newer operating system. Note to other buyers: be sure to go past the stuff about migrating your data right away with your old phone. Make sure you update the new phone to the same operating system level as your old phone. I wound up going into a store and having one of the techs poke around on the buttons until she could get the thing to upgrade. No problems after that. It would’ve been much simpler had the Apple migration tool simply offered the opportunity to get the operating systems matched. I guess they haven’t thought of that use case yet. The battery app reported that it could charge to 100%. That remains true two weeks later. Overall an excellent replacement for my iPhone 12 mini. I’ll use this post as one more opportunity to tell the world that we need more small phones! I am tired of handling phones that feel like a pizza box! ... show more

Probably one of the most practical options out there
Size: 128GB Color: Midnight Service provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed Premium
In brief; The iPhone 13 Mini is the smallest flagship on the market; this makes it the most practical phone for those who mostly use their smartphone as a communication device and little besides. A screen protector is a must. The Renewed Premium phone arrived in excellent condition and has given me no issues in six months of use. I recommend it. In detail: ---Preamble--- I didn't buy a cell phone until mid-2008, and didn't buy a smartphone until early-2019. Both decisions were provoked by starting a new job. I've never been a heavy phone user; I receive less than twenty-five texts from actual humans a year, and maybe a phone call every other month. I only use my smartphone for calls, texts, checking email/calendar, navigation, alarm, and on occasion, checking into events or to take pictures. My app usage is limited to train tickets. As a result, I don't need much from my phone. I like having something fairly powerful, so it will run smoothly for as long as possible before I have to replace it. I didn't want anything too expensive, which is why I ignored Sony's offerings. I wanted a decent support cycle, which is why I ignored the Zenfones. I wanted something with reliable HW, which is why I didn't go with a Pixel. I wanted it to have WiFi calling/texting. I specifically wanted something small and compact, as my main complaint about my prior smartphone was how large it was. I would have replaced it earlier, but it was an Android and since the demise of the Sony Xperia Compact line there were no US-market small Android smartphones produced by anyone. I didn't want to make the transition to the Apple ecosystem, since this would be my one and only Apple device, so I dragged my feet even for a year after my old phone stopped voluntarily connecting to the cell network. Eventually I decided that I spend more time carrying my phone around than using it, and therefore form factor was more important than OS. ---Review--- I would never have purchased this at its original retail price, but it was definitely worth it at $450, particularly with the Amazon Renewed Premium Program. It arrived in a condition indistinguishable from new, at least to my eye. Setup was easy enough, though despite assertions otherwise the automated process of moving Android data to the Apple was not perfectly smooth and I had to make a number of adjustments after the fact. As a result of making this transition, I still run my Google apps on the iPhone - Authenticator, Calendar, Mail, and Maps in particular. I don't plan on changing those any time soon, but it does introduce some confusion into the workflow on the phone. For current Android users, there are some significant downsides. The loss of the ability to customize the environment is painful, even after six months. I am fairly technically capable and so appreciate the ability to make minor tweaks and adjustments to everything, and iOS constantly fights you on this. I would like my small icons back, and my ability to arrange them as I see fit. The lack of robust gesture/tap support, and limited gadget/widget customizability means you need to spend more time navigating than before. iOS's reputation for a janky file system presentation is well deserved, it can be hard to tell where files are going or have gone. In a non-Apple environment, HEIC complicates file storage and backup, though there are workarounds. The messaging app, for who knows what reason, doesn't have an archive option and just lists every conversation you've ever had in one long list on the main page, and requires an extra tap after the swipe to delete anything. There's no easy way to skip or snooze all alarms. All things I can put up with, though for the first month I was rather stroppy. I adapted to the UI quickly, but again I only use very few functions on the phone in my day-to-day life. I was able - with some frustration - to pair a set of Samsung Galaxy Buds, though you can only configure them through an Android device. Build quality seems excellent; however, do not take this phone out of its package unless you have a screen protector waiting for it. I was uncommonly gentle with this thing for the four days I was waiting for the protector to arrive, storing it in a pocket which had a clean cotton handkerchief padding the screen, and I -still- ended up with a significant enough scratch that it is still visible under the screen protector in direct sunlight. Don't risk it. HW and SW performance in contrast is flawless. I agree with the common sentiment that the iOS experience is very smooth, though I may be biased on account of my previous phone being on its way out at the time of transition. Battery life for me is probably two days and well into the third. That sounds good, perhaps, but my screen-on time is very low - I'm guessing between zero and ten minutes a day, with most of it on the low end, the only exception being during navigation. It is not unusual for multiple days to pass where my only interaction with my phone is to turn off the alarm. I would expect longer battery life under such circumstances, but I suppose that so long as it lasts all day it doesn't really matter. Lastly, I would say the sacrifice for the form factor was definitely worth it. I keep my phone in a cargo pocket and it is much lighter and less bulky now, especially when crouching down. 100% worth prioritizing that feature. ---Conclusion--- Like I said above, if you are like me - you are someone who doesn't need a lot of screen real-estate, power, or extensive battery life, but still wants to have the full functionality of a smartphone for irregular use, this is probably the best choice on the market. It was worth the transition from Android and the ongoing annoyance of Apple's eccentricities of design. I would recommend it, and will consider getting the next iPhone Mini, if Apple ever releases one. ... show more

Good phone, battery life indicator lie

Paid for the renewed premium, but the battery life was below what was advertised. Not cool and pretty scummy. Nice phone and in good condition otherwise, so not worth the hassle of returning or exchanging.
