“Excellent condition” review
Though the phone was damaged with dents and a small chip on the screen, the phone ran just fine with a 93% battery life. Only other gripe was the screen protector that they put on with the phone had a huge hair under it, deeming it useless.

Great value for refurbished
Ordering this phone was great, phone had no scuffs or scratches felt & looked brand new, phone was just as responsive as a brand new iPhone. Everything was great on the phone, the only issue I had was with the battery life, when the phone came it was already on 85% battery life. But hey other than that it’s still a great purchase would be a great phone for younger children/teens

No SD card slot
This is my first iPhone, which works much better connecting and staying connected to my hearing aids than my android phone did. I was sad to learn this phone is NOT SD card compatible.I was concerned about switching over from an Android to an , but I am quite pleased with the iPhone features.

Works great and looks good.
Like the size a lot. Phone has a couple of scrapes on frame but screen and back are new looking. Price was very reasonable, recommend used phones to save a lot of money.

Red Mini iPhone 12 excites!
Coming from a Pro Max, the manageability of this 12 Mini is pleasurable. The speakers are good, OS works well. Battery life is not the same as the Pro Max. I use my phone a lot, and have it on the charger in the car, and plugged in to my computer at my desk so it does not drain. Absent these charging options, this phone would not be for me.

Unlocked 94% battery life
So far I’m very happy with this phone! I’ve had for a week now. It came unlocked, 94% battery life, minimum wear, a few little scratches, but overall looks brand new! Everything on my old phone (android) swapped over smoothly and my carrier activated it no problem! Only a 4 star for now because it gets pretty warm when charging. And I haven’t had time to play with the camera. But overall very happy my purchase! It did include a charging block, chord, and SIM card tool.

Decent phone for the price, just a couple scuffs on the screen that can’t be seen when phone is on.
Good deal, I thought it would be in better condition though as it was listed as excellent condition, but it was a great price.

Great refurbished iPhone but battery is wasted.
This refurbished iPhone is in excellent condition, but I need to charge the battery twice a day indicating this was the reason it sells so low. I hardly use it other than for a little email and texting – no movie streaming, for instance. Description says battery is at 80% health, but more like 40%….

The best iPhone you can get but be aware of the battery life
It’s a solid smartphone even for 2023, it feels like a mini premium smartphone, personally I don’t mind the size because I’m tired of oversized smartphones nowadays, I mean its a phone, it needs to be portable. The oled display is awesome, the processor is snappy and you can play almost every game on the market on high res. the only downside is the battery than barely survives a 6 hours of usage, you can carry its charger or an external battery for it but be aware of the battery it drains pretty quick.

iPhone 12 mini review.
The media could not be loaded.
I just got the phone, overall it’s good, minor scratches on the screen, nothing crazy. The volume down button it’s not very clickable.Battery life is at 84% not the best for “excellent condition” phone. Besides that the phone is unlocked, Face ID, speakers and cameras are working fine.

Broken call speaker
It’s a good phone came in really good condition with a few scratches on the front but when you make a call it has to be on speaker if not you can’t hear the person your calling and they can’t hear you and the volume is kinda bad because that 1 speaker is bad but over all it works well

Connection bad
I phone came with some dents and a scratch but you don’t notice when I put a case on because it covers the dent right up. The scratch is noticeable sometimes but it doesn’t really bother me. I had this phone for like a year the battery is ehh but the phone is small, it heats up often too. I like the camera. The connection sucks on this phone like bad.

I love this phone!
My phone works perfectly! I love it and I have not had any problems with it so far. Battery life is better than expected, I have read many reviews on this and I wasn’t expecting the best battery life but it gets me through a day easily. Some days I even failed to charge it at night and woke up with the battery still on 20%. I’m sure I could get a lot better battery life with a pro max version but I am perfectly happy with the battery life of this phone. Other than battery, the phone works great. Face ID wasn’t working at first but I realized that all I need to do is hold it farther away from my face and it registers just fine. I think I would prefer Touch ID. I have also noticed that my internet is not working over data and I’m not sure why. I have been having to use wifi to go on the internet, but since I have an Xfinity account I can use their hotspots and this pretty much solves my problem. Overall I’m very happy with my new phone and I would recommend this phone anyone who needs a new phone. I bought the phone in “acceptable” condition and I was surprised by the flawless condition of my phone, no scratches or anything. Definitely worth the money!

Was hoping for better condition
The phone was nice but the back had these spots that were like scratches and I knew it was used when I bought it but I’m looking for a scratch free phone. Very good customer service so far on my return.

Works as it should but excellent condition is subjective.
Good working phone. No problem there. I think their idea of “Excellent” is a little off. Nothing serious but there were a few scratches in the frame (edges of phone). No worries though. I put it in a case and it looks and works great. Minus one star for the scratches when described as “Excellent Condition”. Works great though. Battery was at 86% life and it’s holding a charge well.’

Good value, battery is short
Despite being a renew iPhone, the quality you expect from Apple is there. The color is my favorite, there’s no signs of peeling or degradation in the color. Durable enough if you accidentally drop it, but still recommend getting a case. My only complaint is the battery life, but apparently this was an issue with the 12 series. For work purposes though, this is sufficient enough.

Item was returned/Nothing was wrong with it
I returned the phone as it was smaller than the phone I have. I needed larger screen and keypad because of aging eyes and fingers. Shipping was very quick which was appreciated. Now, I await my refund so I can order a bigger phone.

Brand new phone?!
I think Apple must’ve made a deal with Amazon on a bunch of IPhone 12 mini because this appears to be. BRAND NEW PHONE!! Comes in a cute box with a charger and cable, and instructions. It was amazingly easy to transfer my old phone’s content.I would encourage anyone to buy an Amazon Renewed Premium IPhone!! They offer a 1 year return policy but I can’t imagine anyone returning a PERFECT phone!

Excellent customer service!
I bought a iPhone 12 mini and everything was great except for one minor issue. You know how it is when you bought something and you need to contact the seller and you are wondering how they will respond. Well I have to say that the way this vendor responsed far far exceeded my expectiions leaving me very happy. Firstly their initial response to the first message from Amazon directly to the vendor was under a minute. Yes, less than 1 min. And many of their other responses were under 2-3 minutes during the dialog we had. Not only they have offered me a refund, an exchange. Whatever would make me the happiest. I elected to exchange the phone and within 24 hours I had the new iPhone delivered via FedEx. And it works great. No issues at all. Could not be more happy with how this vendor responded and took care of the issue!

Great product service
About 2 weeks ago I ordered a 12 mini and after receiving it i was disappointed to find that the product wasn’t working in a fully functioning order. The audio wasn’t playing from the bottom speaker. After addressing the situation i reached out to the company for a exchange for a functioning phone. About 24hrs later they responded saying they would give me an exchange free of charge. Im extremely impressed considering i didn’t have to pay a dime to send the broken phone back. And the best part is that the replacement came in better condition on the outside. Would recommend just be aware that you might not receive a functional phone. 100% Will buy from them again!

Excellent condition as advertised
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.

Only 79% battery health, otherwise seems to be in great condition
Close but not as advertised regarding battery capacity. Not worth returning after I’ve loaded everything on it. I also had an error pop up about moisture in the charging port using the new cable provided… but there was absolutely no moisture. I’ve only used it a week so we’ll see if that comes back. Screen has only very minor imperfections, most probably wouldn’t even notice, and rest of phone is in great shape cosmetically.

Battery doesn’t last the day
I like the size. That it can fit in my hands and pockets. I like the storage space. I like the pictures. But the battery doesn’t last the entire day if I do just about anything on it. My last phone (android) said it was a three day battery and that worked for me. I did get it refurbished so that may play into that aspect.

I’m in awe
I am super satisfied with this order! It’s super durable. The color is perfect! Its light mint green and it’s so beautiful ♡ the only thing is it said it was unlocked and when I went to put my sim card in it it wouldn’t support it. It’s a gci sim, and if it was unlocked it would support it am I right? I only just found this out, if had the phone for a month before i found this out. Is there anything y’all can do or suggest for me please. Other than this iam super surprised with how amazing it is! Just been loving it♡ it’s really super easy to use as well.

Incredible Service & support
Received phone on time as promised. Condition was like new except battery health was slightly below acceptable level – Contacted supplier by email & within minutes they gave me a couple of different options to take it in for battery replacement, which I did. Contacted them after replacement & within a couple hours Amazon notified me supplier had reimbursed my out of pocket expenses. I didn’t think anyone provided service like this anymore !!! 5 stars & more

Blue iPhone 12 mini
When I opened package I was shocked. It was like a brand new phone. No scratches. A little of fading on top but not noticeable at all. It was super easy to set up. And all the functions were working.I’m not sure about the battery life we literally turned it on yesterday. But seems to charge pretty fast.The shipping was 5 days late which had me really worried and sure it was not seller’s fault. I’m extremely happy so far.

So far so good
I was very happy with this iPhone purchase experience. The device arrived quickly and was in great shape. There were no scratches on the device. The battery life shows it has 84% so hopefully it will continue to charge for a long time. The setup and use were quick and easy and I was operational in about 30 minutes. Overall a good value and experience from this vendor.

I love my new/used 12 mini
After 9 years with an Apple 6s I upgraded to a pre owned 12 mini. This phone is the exact same size as my old 6s, but it utilizes a larger screen. I absolutely love my new phone. I think the price of a used iPhone is a reasonable alternative to paying $1,000 or more for a new phone.

Good physical condition / Diminished battery health
I ordered: Apple iPhone 12 Mini, 256GB, (Product)Red – Fully Unlocked (Renewed)I expected the phone to be in a used condition, that’s the nature of renewed as is stated in the descriptions. However, the Battery Health max capacity was at 85%. Normally this should be fine, but with average use, I need to charge it 2 times a day. I’ve cleared out apps that were possibly running/draining in the background, but that only made a minimal impact. I’ve had the phone less than a week and now the Battery Health maximum capacity dropped to 84%, so I have no idea if this will survive without the need for a new battery. That’s pretty disappointing considering I am switching from an iPhone Xs that should have a worse battery capacity and health yet stays charged with the same use all day.Everything else appears to be working just fine. Shipping was slow, but was stated in the order estimate. It arrived 1 day later than the 2-week delivery timeframe.I know this is the nature of ordering used, but was a disappointing experience.

Item arrived as expected–barely
I purchased this iPhone 12 mini as an upgrade for my iPhone SE, which was running out of storage and having difficulty taking photos at night. I have to say, the 12 Mini is an upgrade in almost every possible way. The LED display makes my video games and pictures look so much better, and the A14 processor drops fewer frames. Not to mention reliable and fast 5G connection.My particular example, however, fell a little short of my hopes (though it did meet my expectations). The product descriptions for renewed products specify that the phone will arrive with a battery health of at least 80%, and no visible defects when held at arms’ length. My phone has exactly 80% battery health, and a number of scuffs on the outer aluminum frame, which, as described, are not visible at arms’ length.As a result, the battery life is actually slightly worse than my SE, and I decided not to get a clear case, so the scuffs wouldn’t show at all. Nothing deal-breaking, but just a little reminder that the phone *is* used, so set your expectations and read the description. Other than the battery, I am highly satisfied with my purchase, and the price.
