  • Great Value with Unexpected Perks and Excellent Seller Support
Size: 128GB Color: Blue Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I recently purchased the Apple iPhone 12, 128GB, in Blue, fully unlocked and renewed, from a seller on Amazon. The phone arrived in Las Vegas via FedEx from New York in just four days, and the condition was generally good. It had minor scratches along the sides and a few on the screen, which was expected with a renewed product. However, the battery was only at 74% health, which was disappointing since it caused the screen to turn off occasionally and the battery to overheat. I contacted the seller through Amazon, and they offered three options: a full replacement of the phone, a refund, or covering the cost of a battery replacement at an official Apple store. I chose the battery replacement and went to an Apple store, where the replacement cost $89 plus tax. The seller promptly reimbursed me after I provided them with the receipt. A bonus surprise: while replacing the battery, the Apple technician accidentally damaged the screen and replaced it with a brand-new one at no additional cost. So, hereā€™s a helpful tipā€”screens are glued in with waterproof adhesive due to water resistance, which makes them tough to remove without heating. This makes battery replacements essential on any phone thatā€™s 4+ years old, and you might save around $300 on a new screen if you go through Apple for repairs. Only Apple has the equipment to program replacement parts into the system, ensuring everything works seamlessly, as good as new. Thanks to the seller for their prompt support and covering the replacement costs, making this purchase a worthwhile experience. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Good value for the price
Size: 64GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I needed a quick, reliable phone to replace my XR. The product arrived in good condition, some minor scratches on the edges, but nothing unexpected. The screen looks great, the back is decent, and the charging works well. The battery seems average; I haven't used it enough to fully assess, but it went from 97% to 90% overnight. Functionality is solid, the camera is excellent, and the shipping was fast, it arrived earlier than expected. ... show more

  • Pleased with my Amazon refurbished iPhone
Size: 64GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I was nervous spending a couple hundred dollars on a used phone. I did a lot of research, read tons of reviews and was nervous about the refurbished phone mixed reviews where some people reported scratches, battery issues and receiving phones still locked to certain carriers. I donā€™t like cell phone contracts, and this phone was a fraction of the cost of a new model, with a nice return window, I decided I would give it a try. The phone came in like new condition, with a screen protector already installed. The phone had ZERO scratches and no indication of prior use, other than it arriving in a generic box. The setup process was seamless and with the phone completely unlocked, activating service with my cell phone carrier was a cinch. I have been using the phone for 3 weeks with no battery issues. When Iā€™m in the market for a new cell phone, Iā€™m definitely looking at Amazon refurbished phones first! ... show more

  • Great quality, and customer service!
Size: 128GB Color: Green Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
For starters; the price on these phones is great. Between having the reassurance of Amazon buyer protection, and the benefit of knowing the device has been tested for performance, itā€™s well worth it. I needed a new phone fast after my cat knocked mine into the sink ā˜¹ļø Rice fixed it for a while, but it was only temporary before it died altogether. I hate buying phones and avoid it whenever possible. 99% of mine belonged to someone in my family first. And i was good with that. Needless to say, my cat didnā€™t wait for someone in my family to upgrade. I was on my own this time. Okay.... thatā€™s not entirely true. My grandma had an iPhone 7 sitting around so that held me over in the meantime. Going from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to an iPhone 7 wasā€¦.bad. It was too dam small, in every possible way. 32 gigs of memory!! I needed an upgrade. Fast. My 11 year old was bullying me relentlessly. And thatā€™s on me. They had my old XR (formerly my dadā€™s) I scoured FB marketplace. Iā€™d decided upgrade a little, so I could feel better about the switch. I didnā€™t want to feel backed me into a corner by my catā€™s recklessness. I would get a slightly newer model in a fun colour. Marketplace had plenty. Sending message after message from my iPhone 7, I worried. ā€œThis person seems too eagerā€, ā€œthis one has been posted so longā€, ā€œI want a purple, but the only purple one listed has less storage spaceā€ and ā€œthe pretty green one has a small crackā€, ā€œthis guy lives 2 hours from meā€ and ā€œBattery life? Errr last time I checked it was like 74%?ā€¦.no, I canā€™t take a screenshot of it, itā€™s turned offā€ā€¦. ā€œcash only pleaseā€ Etc. So much pressure. What happens if the thing doesnā€™t work? Thatā€™s $300+ down the drain. I knew I couldnā€™t afford new. But I hated the idea of buying something used from a stranger on Facebook. I didnā€™t want to get scammed, and I also didnā€™t want to settle. Thatā€™s when I remembered good olā€™ Amazon. Maybe Iā€™d check there. Just for funsies. Probably out of my budget, but it couldnā€™t hurt. Sure enough, refurbished devices selling ā€œlike new!ā€ Mostly same cost or less than what Iā€™d found so far. Surely there was a catch? I read through everything, tested by Amazon, includes all the specs, unlocked, I can pick the colour, the storage size, the condition, etc. AND I could have it delivered to me tomorrow??! With a warranty?!! I recovered from my brief stint of disappointment after learning the 12ā€™s donā€™t come in yellow. Then fought hard to decide between mint and lavender. The lavender would take an extra day to arrive. Mint it was!! As promised, it arrived the next day. It was in beautiful shape. 128gā€™s, mint green, not a single scratch, 86% battery life. All for less than I would have paid to some stranger for a 64g with some ā€œsmall scratchesā€ Once my case and screen protector arrived I excitedly set it up and synced my data. Oh no. The FACE ID DIDNT WORK šŸ˜­ After becoming used to facial recognition, having that yanked away, and dealing with a 7 for over 2 weeksā€” I was desperate for the convenience of Face ID. I had been using my fingerprint. Like a *caveman*. Not to mention I have Blink 182 tickets, and it specifically states facial recognition is required to access the mobile tickets. Idk if thatā€™s true, but I needed Face ID!! I googled, I contacted apple support. Fixing it could be upwards of $300. Thatā€™s almost what I paid for the whole phone!! I realllllly didnā€™t want to be stuck without a phone again. But I also wanted one fully functioning. So I reached out to Amazon support and explained. The rep was incredibly helpful (as most Amazon reps are) and after bts failed, she advised the ship was a 3rd party seller, and she send a message to them. ā€œIf they donā€™t fix it by (insert date) contact us back and weā€™ll make this rightā€ she encouraged. Iā€™m ngl. I was nervous. I didnā€™t have high hopes, having dealt with 3p sellers on Amazon in the past. At least Amazon had my back, ig. The concert wasnā€™t till July. Even without facial recognition, it was loads better than the 7. I could make do in the meantime. The seller came in clutch though, and my worry was unwarranted. They responded within minutes. They were receptive, apologetic, and more than willing to help. As Iā€™d anticipated, they offered a refund or exchange, as soon as they received the return. I explained my concern with not having a phone for several days or more; and the merchant offered to overnight a replacement as soon as the return was dropped off. I could deal with one day without a phone! I gratefully accepted. That was Saturday night, we made plans to catch up Monday for the return instructions and for them to overnight it. Monday I reached back out; and they were ready to ship, BUT they *had no more greenā€¦.* šŸ«¢ SHOCK ā€œā€¦do you have purpleā€ No. :( just blue, white, and black. THIS WAS A HUGE BUMMER.Itā€™s silly I know, and the definition of *first world problems ā€œ.. but I meanā€¦. My change of heart about this whole phone thing HINGED ON THE FUN COLOUR. Without it, I was just a personā€¦out $350ā€¦ because my cat was thirsty while I was watching YouTube while washing dishes. I needed a cool colour. Plus, Iā€™d already gotten the matching case! Clear with mint green borders. It wasnā€™t even a fun blueā€¦ it was a dark, serious, navy blue. It was pretty and classy, but I wanted something fun. I even asked if he had any older models in yellow šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ no luck, They told me theyā€™d be restocking in a day or so. Still, no greens or purples came in. Ugh. Reality was setting in. I was going to have to settle. It was fine, I thought. At least it would be a fully functioning phone. No. I wasnā€™t ready to let go. They assured me I could take my time to decide, and I asked if we could wait another week in case one came in. If it didnā€™t, *then* I would choose from the options available. I messaged them Wednesday afternoon, bracing myself for the answerā€¦. THEY GOT IN PURPLE! YAY. They sent a label, I dropped it off, sent a photo, and had my new phone the next morning. theyā€™d said overnight shippingā€¦ but wow! Iā€™d dropped off the return around 3pm, and had the replacement by noon the next day. I didnā€™t even have my new case yet šŸ˜… Despite the Barney-Esque colour scheme my mint green case created, the lavender is GORGEOUS and Iā€™m actually sort of glad the green didnā€™t work out. Donā€™t get me wrong, the green is also gorgeous.. but in the end Iā€™m glad I ended up with the lavender. I was overjoyed when I was prompted to set Face ID during setup. Worked brilliantly, as did everything else. Great packaging, no cosmetic flaws, amazing battery life, customer service was great, and best of allā€¦ ITS PURPLE! Canā€™t wait to pair it with the new case. Iā€™m so glad I went this route where I have some peace of mind as a buyer. Iā€™m grateful to the seller for being so helpful and patient with me as insufferable as I must have seemed making such a fuss over colour preference If youā€™re nervous buying a phone used or refurbished too, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing- this seller is legit. You receive a good quality product, and, speaking from experience, theyā€™ll gladly help resolve any issues you may run into. ... show more
