  • Great Refurbished iPhone!
Size: 64GB Color: Blue Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
Great renewed phone! I got this phone when it told me it was coming in, when I received the phone it had minimal scratches on the chassis and a slight scuff on the bottom right which is no problem for me as I use a case. The screen was in almost perfect condition I see little to no scratches and no cracks or anything. It is also the original screen, the battery is great I got mine with 79% which isn’t great but it lasts me the whole day and more which is more than enough. If you don’t know which color to get the blue is great I love this blue, also the cameras are amazing especially at night. It came with a power cord which works, but the power brick it came with doesn’t work which isn’t the end of the world for me as I have others. In the end I say that this phone refurbished is great and I would definitely recommend. ... show more

  • Excellent Product and Service
Size: 256GB Color: Purple Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I usually don’t leave reviews. I also have never purchased a refurbished item and was super wary on doing so. When the phone arrived, I was impressed that it truly was in excellent condition as stated. No scratches nowhere and the battery life is incredible. My old phone I’d have to keep it plugged in because it would die within an hour after using it. I went almost the ENTIRE day with Spotify playing in the background while I worked and my battery life remained strong and full where I didn’t need to plug in my phone for a recharge. Incredible!! I’m over the moon with happiness over this phone. When I received my phone and my husband helped me set it up, I couldn’t get it to accept calls and SOS remained on. It was showing it wasn’t compatible with my carrier so I reached out to the seller and received a response immediately. He helped me look into it and it turns out I inputted an incorrect number into the compatibility section on the website of my carrier. The seller walked me through next steps and told me to connect with my carrier. We did so and got everything taken care of. The seller had even said to let him know how it goes. He went ABOVE and BEYOND what I’d anticipated I’d get as a response. Truly remarkable service. We have more phones to buy for my family (my husband & our teenage kids). My in laws plan to do the same and but refurbished. We will only go through this seller because I trust him and trust I get what is listed as far as the condition goes. I also trust that if there’s an issue he will make it right The phone was unlocked as well as stated in the description. Overall - This was a great experience and I received the quality phone as described. ... 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

  • Great Value for a Like-New iPhone!
Size: 128GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I recently purchased the renewed Apple iPhone 12, 128GB, Black, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of this device. First off, the phone arrived in pristine condition with no visible scratches or marks—it truly looks and feels brand-new. The packaging was secure, and all accessories included were functional and clean. Setting up the phone was a breeze, and it worked perfectly with my carrier, thanks to it being fully unlocked. Performance-wise, the iPhone 12 is as fast and reliable as expected. Apps run smoothly, the camera quality is stunning, and the battery life is impressive for a renewed device. The 128GB storage is more than enough for my apps, photos, and videos. This purchase offers excellent value for anyone looking to upgrade without paying the full price for a new model. I highly recommend this renewed iPhone to anyone wanting quality, reliability, and savings in one package! ... show more

  • Great Phone.
Size: 64GB Color: Black Service Provider: AT&T Product grade: Renewed
The phone I received is in great condition, hardly a mark on it. I was worried about that, because it's like a roll of the dice not seeing the actual item you are purchasing. The battery life is at 86%, which is okay with me, I am used to that, I dealt with that with my older phone. So overall, I am very pleased with this seller. It was totally worth it for me. ... show more

  • Worth every penny :)
Size: 128GB Color: Green Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
This phone is nearly perfect! No scratches or cracks, came with a charger but no brick for it, and super easy to set up! Came in shiny and looks brand new. The battery life is even at 100% which I know some people in the reviews say otherwise. I would highly recommend getting one from amazon because i think it’s worth it. ... show more

  • Unresponsive Customer Service and 83% battery life
Size: 128GB Color: Blue Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
The iPhone was in very nice cosmetic condition and came with a screen guard. The reason I'm giving three stars is because the battery life is at 83%. I've never had one of my prior brand new phones run down to 83% and I had an iPhone X that I used A LOT for 6 years (and I have a 6s that still has 100%). The second reason I'm giving three stars is because I wrote to the seller to ask if there was something they could do (swap out or give a partial refund) and they never responded and it's been several weeks now. Other than worrying how much life this phone has left in it, it's a good phone. I'd just have expected an Amazon renewed product to come with a decent battery life. ... show more
