This was the first time I bought a used phone and so I was happy to see that it had no cosmetic blemishes, as advertised by its “excellent” condition rating. When I finally got through to the settings (long story below), I was also happy to see that its battery health is 92%, again as advertised (90% or greater guaranteed). One surprise was that it came with a screen protector installed, which is great, but it would have been nice to know beforehand so I did not have to buy my own.
One suggestion that I would make for sellers of used iPhones is to update them to the latest iOS version. When I first tried to transfer my old iPhone to the new iPhone through the iOS setup process, I got to the software update’s “Install Now” step and it just hung. I tried twice, having to reset to factory settings each time it hung. I found an Apple Support Community discussion which said to go through the setup wizard as if it is a totally new iPhone (not transferring anything from the existing iPhone), entering the WiFi password manually and then doing the software update. (It was once I had gone through the setup as a new iPhone that I was finally able to see the battery health.) After that, resetting the phone again and choosing the transfer iPhone option finally worked. Putting in the SIM card from my old iPhone to the new iPhone was straightforward and there were no issues using the phone on my wireless carrier.

It worked flawlessly for just short of 4 months. Never had a better phone. But my takeaway from this experience is to order “renewed premium” for electronics from amazon rather than “renewed,” for one reason (buried in the fine print of course.)
“Renewed premium” gives you the buyer 12 months of satisfaction guaranteed coverage, whereas “renewed” gives you a mere 3 months of the same. My phone had not been abused or subjected to moisture in any way shape or form, so 4 months of cellphone service for $240 feels suboptimal, when paying slightly more for a whole year of coverage would be much less so.
I’m now tasked with “repairing” a phone i’ve owned for less than 4 months and now need to repair or replace at my expense. I did nothing negligent (water damage, dropping it, etc) to get to this point.
It is a great phone, but I hope to spare other buyers what I have just gone through.

Llegó el producto físicamente con una calificación de 9,5 ( el único detallé es qué tenía un leve rayón en la pantalla que casi no es notorio ), me llegó con una batería del 89% y hasta horita que lo he probado no ha tenido algún detalle.

This IPhone is fire 🔥 Everything works perfectly. I was a lil nervous after reading some of the reviews. But today must be my lucky day because this IPhone 12 mini is perfect for my kiddo. Do your research & read the reviews for each vendor. There’s a lot to choose from but I wanted my phone shipped w Amazon. Arrived on schedule in immaculate condition.

The delivery is really fast, and the phone looks brand new. It runs smoothly, too.

Was sold phone with a bad battery under 80% battery life remaining. By the time I had noticed the battery life I had already transferred my eSIM and all my confidential work data making it impossible for me to return. The seller refused to issue me a $80 refund to replace the battery even though they guarantee that they give you batteries over 80% life. They simply offered me 10% back which was not enough.
They did give me the option for a return but that was not a good option for me at that point as it would have left me without a working phone. I wish I would’ve immediately checked the battery level upon arrival. Now the phone died extremely quickly and runs slow due to apply slowing the device down due to the battery being bad.

Phone is exactly what I expected for a refurbished phone.
Phone battery is 82% which isn’t terrible but isn’t the best either. The back and front screen are in perfect condition, with only a couple of tiny scratches. 15GB out of 64GB.
The box was a little bit sketchy and the back of the phone says “Product(Red)”. Far as I can tell it is still a legit iPhone with all of the normal features. For the price, it’s definitely worth it.

I was a bit hesitant at first by reading all the reviews, but its actually a pretty good phone! 82% battery capacity, fast functioning, excellent condition, it does get a little hot, but if you need a phone for short usage, this is perfect!

At first, I was PISSED!!!!! Got a notification the day my order was supposed to be delivered, AT LIKE 8 PM, after waiting at home all day, in case that one delivery person who doesn’t knock or anything, just leaves a we missed you sticky note.. >.< now my phone wasn’t gonna be here for ANOTHER WEEK?!?! D:< it’s kinda weird… because after I complained immediately, somehow it was able to arrive the next day… maybe the email said arrive BY next week?? But then why give such a long estimation??? Whatever, I was just happy to have my phone again, after porting my # over to a new carrier, it not working for a week, then my phone just breaking randomly… couldn’t believe my luck with THAT!!!… My phone I ordered wasn’t in the best refurbished condition, but it’s worked perfectly since I turned it on, only has a few tiny scratches on the screen, and I’m so thankful everything worked out well. I was worried the phone might be a let down somehow. Nope. Just peachy. Would recommend.
