   $160 for used good gave me a (basically) new phone!
   Bought used good. Phone came with 93% battery health, almost completely untouched body, and small scratch on the screen that is now covered by a screen protector. For $160, just huge wow.In terms of the phone itself. I came to this phone from a pixel 6 after being an android user for many years. IOS has certainly improved. It really does just work exactly how you want it to. I thought I’d miss the customization and stuff from my pixel but the simplicity apple has attained in IOS 18 paired with just enough features to not feel restrictive makes this a wonderful refresher and reminder that technology is indeed still getting better. The screen is also just absolutely amazing (coming from a camera stuff guy.) Vibrant and accurate with beautiful OLED black levels. Great phone!

   First one was iffy, second time was the charm
   The first phone we got was rated 2 stars and was returned. I don’t recall which refurbisher it came from. Here’s the original review:The phone looked good superficially, but had some fundamental problems that caused us to return it.First, the screen had been replaced, and had occasional glitches that caused a distorted image (irregular vertical lines). It also wasn’t responsive to touch in specific situations (usually at the lock screen).Second, it usually did not connect to readily available cell service, which is obviously why I ordered it for my mom. She’s turning 89 this year, I can’t expect her to go out in the world with a phone that may or may not work.Updated review for second phone:The second phone we got was a “premium” version, and vastly better than the first. Cosmetically it’s in perfect condition, no scratches whatsoever on the body or screen. Battery life is 92% – very acceptable for a phone of this vintage. Once I activate the eSIM I’ll know if it has any issues with obtaining a signal, but I suspect that won’t be a problem. Audio seems fine, the camera is great. A super deal for $220.

   DON’T BUY IT
   I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I think people should be warned. I’ve been through four of these phones in a couple months, and they have all had major issues from Camera not working to audio issues, and the worst of all one COMPLETELY DIED after four months.Unfortunately, the Amazon warranty is only three months. (I thought it was one year because other competitors offer that. But it does clearly say on their page that it’s only three months.) During these three months, they to completely refund you no problem or fix the issue that you report. But unfortunately the phone I kept died on month four, while I was on vacation to make matters worse.Seems like the sellers are always different stores, but all amazon approved and they follow some sort of Amazon standards for these phones. But it seems to me that these phones have really severe issues so these Amazon sellers fix the phones to a certain standard, but they are not in good condition.All the sellers are polite and responsive, but the issue is the actual phones and their conditions. Even though these phones are used, they are not cheap, they should function properly.I’ve been an Amazon customer for years and I really haven’t had any issue with them. That was the reason why I decided to buy the used phone on Amazon instead of a competitor. But this is truly disappointing to the point that I think I’m going to report them to the Better Business Bureau. They should not be selling phones in this condition.FULL STORYPhone 1: iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition )Received Mid OctoberSeller: Kojak salesWhen I receive the phone physically it seems fine. But as soon as I put a case on it, a lot of little pieces of paint started coming off of it and then you could tell it had a lot of scratches on the case so somebody was trying to cover the scratches, then I put a screen protector on it, and after trying to I could not get rid of a humongous huge bubble, took a third of the screen. So some thing was hinting to me that the screen was not straight. In my opinion, the phone shouldn’t have been sold as good condition with so many scratches but since I don’t care about the look as much as functionality, I move forward. But then, after a few weeks of using the phone, I realized things were not working properly. The camera was very slow at taking pictures if it was dark or if you were using inside the message or WhatsApp. Also, if I received a text while listening to videos or video calls, the speaker would suddenly gets super low, and I could barely hear the video for about two minutes . (usually this lowering of audio feature happens only for five or 10 seconds).This was worrying me so I contacted the seller and told him I wanted to change the phone and he said no problem. Since I was still thinking that this was bad luck, but in general, I liked the iPhone 12 I decided to buy another phone as a replacement, and one more phone as a Christmas gift. I’ll explain below the problems with those phones, but since the problems were actually worse than the current first phone I had in my possession, I never gave back this phone. I kept thinking that maybe the issues would get better with update and also, in my mind, I thought I had a year warranty. Unfortunately, in February while away on vacation the phone one morning, simply never turned on again. My dad is an engineer and he tried helping me connect it to computer and nothing it’s like the battery is no longer connected. I’m sure you can imagine the horrendous time I had the following week without my phone., traveling.. Things got worse when I got home and was able to contact the seller. I then discovered the warranty was only 90 days and that date had passed. After some back-and-forth the seller Kojak sales said they can fix it for $39 and I pay for shipping. I have still not done this since I’m skeptical and don’t understand how they can give me a price if they don’t even know the actual problem or if they need parts. But I really have no other option, or I lose $241 or I pay $60 more. (also, I have to figure out how to erase the phone from a PC if the phone doesn’t even turn on. I’m sad I’m gonna lose all my pictures from the last four months)After I send them the phone, I will update this review.-Phone 2 and 3- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition )Received Mid begging of decemberSeller: WilzeeSo one of these phones was supposed to be replacement for my phone and the second phone was gonna be a Christmas gift. But the first one was so scratch that I didn’t even set it up and I gave it back, no problem and the other phone after giving it as a gift, a little embarrassed with all the scratches, we set it up and realized the camera did not focus at all so I also gave this phone back and received a refund no issue.-4th Phone- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered EXCELLENT condition )Received mid JanuarySeller: PDI MobileThis phone did actually look really good in the outside barely any scratches. I was very happy with the look. But after setting it up again, the camera could not focus so we contacted the seller and sent it back and they fix the camera then after a few weeks of using also, it has audio issues. We’re looking at social media videos suddenly that audio lowers a lot. Since at this my 1st phone died suddenly we decided to give this 4th phone back. I don’t wanna take any chances since the quality of the phones is clearly not good. I don’t expect an issue with the refund. But I will update this review if I do.

   Pleasantly surprising!
   I purchased through Amazon renewed under the condition “acceptable”. However this phone exceeded my expectations, the phone physically is in perfect condition! Not a single scratch or chip on the body or screen whatsoever ever. The battery was advertised at 80%, which would be fine for the price, but the device I received has 87%! I will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Just keep in mind to order directly from Amazon!

   The camera quality is great, especially for a phone this size
   The camera quality is great, especially for a phone this size — crisp photos in daylight and decent low-light performance. I also appreciate that this renewed model came in excellent condition, with barely any visible wear and solid battery health.My only real gripe is the battery life — it’s manageable for light to moderate use, but heavy users might need a mid-day charge. Also, 64GB fills up fast if you take a lot of photos or videos.Overall, if you’re looking for a compact iPhone that still feels modern and snappy, this is a fantastic option — especially at the renewed price point.

   Good phone
   Phone came a little bit beat up, but for the price is what exactly what I wanted. Phone worked great, amazing camera and did what I needed it to do. It came with a pretty good battery, charged fast, and a felt great in the hands. I got the blue one it was very good looking and sleek, was comparable with my carrier as it is unlocked.

   Compré el teléfono con Buyspry y muy satisfecho en general. La calidad se vendía como excelente y más allá de pequeñas marcas de uso en los laterales. La parte frontal viene con una mica que cubre la planta que no pude revisar. La parte de atrás del teléfono impecable.Venía con 84% de batería lo cual es aceptable. Aunque por ser tan pequeño y con la degradación de la misma no lo recomendaría para alguien que lo quiera usar un día completo sin cargar.Vendedor recomendado para iPhone (ya he comprado 3 con este y todos bien).

   I was searching for a lower cost alternative to a brand new iPhone but was afraid of a refurbished phone: off brand screens, unusual damage or problems with the board seem common with such devices.But the Amazon renewed claimed the vendors are held to high standards and the vendor had great reviews so I took a chance.I ended up with a used phone in excellent condition exactly as claimed in the ad. Some small marks around the camera bezel, a clearly dusty speaker grill and a couple tiny marks on the bottom edge are all the issues with the phone physically. Totally acceptable to me.The device has all original components. No comments in the About menu indicating a third party or repaired screen for example. The battery life is only 83% so this also indicates its original. That’s maybe the only downside to this phone and again, acceptable.Everything seems to work very well and it’s so much better than my old phone without breaking the bank ($1500 for a phone?!?)I would highly recommend the following when buying a used phone: make sure it’s in the Amazon renewed program, check the particular vendor and their reviews (some have like 50% satisfaction! Brutal) and then when you get it immediately inspect and check for off brand components (google it). If you find them consider returning it.If you do the above I think you will be happy.
