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

    • 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

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

The media could not be loaded. This is my own review of my own purchase. I did not purchase this through any other seller besides Amazon Itself. I bought the Apple iPhone 12, 256GB in the color Purple. It is Unlocked and Amazon Renewed. I paid $ 304 plus taxes ( and extra $25 tax to be collected.. wt- ok. ) So in all, I paid around $329 and some change.. My phone is flawless. It doesn't have a scratch, a dent, the screen is completely perfect and my phone turned on with 85% battery percentage. This phone looks and performs as though its brand new. I bought a clear case and screen protector bundle and the phone is currently charging right now. I'm very happy and im glad I took the leap to buy renewed just to see for myself. There were so many sellers selling the same model for $40 & $50 dollars more.. and it wasn't a guarantee that it would be as good as it should.. but I'm lucky compared to the other reviews I'm seeing. I took a chance and I have exactly what i wanted to get. Good luck and do your research.. ... show more

    • Great Experience!!
Size: 128GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I ordered this for a Christmas gift, the phone was in great condition, but the battery was only at 76%, not the promised 80%. I contacted the seller and they were wonderful to work with. They responded very quickly and offered me either an exchange, return, or reimbursement for a battery replacement. I opted for the battery replacement, as the phone otherwise was in great condition and would have a brand new battery. I had Apple replace the battery (ugh Apple…they just couldn’t understand how an iPhone 12 was new to us lol, and tried to talk us into not replacing the battery, probably to try and sell us a new phone. Dealing with the Apple Store was definitely the worst part of the experience) Soon as I had the receipt, I sent it to the seller and they issued a full refund. The refund came 2 days later. Wonderful customer experience, would purchase from them again!! ... show more

i loved this phone i got the good version instead of excellent and the phone works great. the phone brought a charger and also the box so thats great. The phone had very minor scratches which is actually pretty good for a used phone the camera quality is great and it is definitely a upgrade from the phoned i had before. This phone is absolutely amazing and i got the phone unlocked and i could put it with my carrier i'm so happy with this purchase and i really recommend to get this if your looking for a good working phone for cheap. I was skeptical at first but i'm so glad i took the risk. ... show more

    • Generic battery, ended up needing to replace faceplate within 2 months
Size: 128GB Color: Black Service Provider: Unlocked Product grade: Renewed
I bought my iPhone 12 here in about Oct 15 2024. Then on December 14, almost exactly 2 months later, the audio on the phone app stopped working. Suddenly I was like a mime with a phone. If I did a video call, I'd have to perform interpretive dance. I'm a pretty fair tech geek. After running complete diagnostics at home and at the Apple store, both on the software and hardware, it turned out to be a $250 hardware problem. This was most likely because when the the vendor swapped in a new (non-Apple) battery, they did not seat it correctly. To be fair, iPhone 12's are also known for having phone audio problems (muting audio weirdly.) But after extensive diagnostics, as I said, it did turn out to be a hardware problem. It seems to me that a refurbished phone should work longer than 2 months. And usually, they do. Just not this one. Now, maybe I could have gone to the trouble of returning and replacing this phone, But even if they let me do that, who among us can be phone-less for a week? Even if you bought the insurance coverage, you'd still be out the phone for that long. Normally, I don't mind unplugging on nights or weekends, but I need my phone for work. So, I paid the $250 to Apple to fix it in a couple of hours. You do you, but honestly, until the vendor addresses that problem, I would steer clear, especially if it's an iPhone 12. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor. ... show more
