Great phone in pristine condition!
I ordered the Renewed Premium option and received a phone that looked brand new, with 100% battery life! It even has a couple months left on the original Apple warranty, with the added peace of mind of Amazon’s one year return policy. Very pleased with my purchase!

Sound problem
Starting to have trouble with the sound. But I think it’s an apple problem with the 13,s. Not an Amazon problem . Do some research. You would think after this many years, they would get it right. Have sound turned all the way up but can barely hear it when someone calls or notification. I have to go into settings move the sound bar back and forth couple times then shut down phone. Then it’s ok

Not a great deal, battery at 85% when received
At this price, it is not a good deal at all, unless you want a phone that Apple does not sell at all. If you can find your preferred phone at the Apple store, or in Apple Refurbished store, Apple puts a brand new battery with a 100% health, new outer shell, and sells with the original cable and USB adapter, and at about the same price as the Amazon renewed store. And you can buy AppleCare+!I am referring to a device I purchased directly from Amazon.com and not from any third-party seller.Amazon Renewed sells devices with battery not at 100%, as they state in the description. The USB adapter is not apple, and not so sure about the lightning cable. The outer shell/glass/screen is not new – they were just what they were when Amazon Renewed acquired those.In summary, you are better off purchasing from the Apple Refurb store, and if not get a new model phone. iPhone 13 mini being discontinued (Apple is supremely stupid and highly inconsiderate to discontinue a device that has a loyal following and the only one of its kind), used ones are the only way to go.So, if purchased from Amazon Renewed expect to pay another $99 to replace the battery at the Apple store sooner than expected. In summary, at this price it is NOT a good deal for a used phone.

Appears brand new. I love my tiny phone!
Was glad to find a mini for a deal even after apple discontinued it. The one I got appears brand new. It’s such a comfortable size and just needed a few days to get used to the smaller size. It was spotless and the battery life was at 100% in the settings. I upgraded from my iPhone 11 Pro and the sound quality seems the same if not better. Very happy with my purchase

My first IPhone!!
My mini 13 came the next day after ordering so happy. Still learning how to use it but so far so good. Came brand new with charging cord, just no block which kinda stinks. But I’ll need more than one cord anyways. Love the color and how light this phone is, my wrist and pinky don’t hurt anymore! I wish they didn’t discontinue the Mini, I love small phones. It can fit in my pockets and tiny purses now 🤣

Superb Refurbished Option
Incredible refurbished iPhone 13 mini. Entire body and all glass is without damage, save for slight abrasions around the cameras, but not on the glass. Battery was at 94% and just recently dropped to 93, which is what is advertised. Although I ended up getting a really nice one, there’s always the possibility of lemons. Overall, however, I think Amazon Premium Renewed is a great choice for saving money on phones.

Return process is the worst! Second purchase better: twice updated review
I am keeping the below experience as it was originally written so you can see my first experience. I have since given them a second chance and purchased a second phone. It came on time and worked as expected. The battery life isn’t perfect. But it is FAR better than my previous phone. It doesn’t work like new but close enough. I’m giving them 3 stars because I originally gave 1 and the second phone is fine and I’m splitting the difference.My original review was as follows:I knew it was a risk trying a “renewed” phone. But the return stories made it worth the risk.I don’t know what these people did but I’ve lived off Amazon for years and this has been the worst. The phone wouldn’t turn on (we live and breathe off technology. We know how to manage a phone).It took over an hour on the phone (my working phone) with support to be ALLOWED to return it. Then it was FOUR days before UPS picked it up and over a week before it reached the amazon warehouse where amazon neglected to acknowledge its arrival. When I did contact them to ask what was up because it’s a lot of money and both the return message and the support person said I would receive my refund once they received the phone. Amazon told me they were going to HOLD MY MONEY FOR A MONTH! Because “it was a lot of money”. No joke! What in the world?!My current phone is dying. What am I supposed to do?!Worst purchase/return ever!Update:The refund came through sooner than 30 days. I can’t say if it had to do with customer service or in response to my repeated phone calls or my review. Hard to tell. Although, once the refund was issued, they said the funds would not be available for up to 7 days because, again, it’s “a lot of money.”I’ve decided to give them another chance. Will update the review either way, positive or negative experience.To be continued…

Excited but then disappointed
I was so excited to get the phone I wanted, in the color I wanted, and for a great price. I was able to quickly set up the phone, and all seemed good – until I turned it off again, and looked at the dark screen in the right light. I got a “renewed premium” phone, which promises no screen scratches – but my screen was covered with light spider-web-like scratches. It felt silly to return it for that, but I was able to find an Apple-refurbished phone (which comes with one year Apple support) for a lower price, so my Amazon phone got returned for refund. Mine came with 90% battery life.Oh, and the return process kind of sucked. I was told I could return it by taking it to a locker, but that was a lie. Amazon set up a UPS pickup, but it was very not-transparent, so I had to spend a day sitting around HOPING that UPS was coming (fortunately, they did).

Amazon’s great renewed promise
My iPhone 13 Mini (“Starlight” color) came in great condition and arrived in good time.It’s the perfect size and weight (I have small hands). It’s a cute phone!I’ve held and used other people’s larger iPhones and they were too big and heavy.This is my first iPhone and I’m having fun exploring its capabilities and features.I have trouble reading small print in newspapers, books, etc., but it’s easy to read the texts on the iPhone.

UPDATED REVIEW – See below
UPDATED Review: Initially I was understandably unhappy. The phone I received was locked and had been reported stolen. That said, I worked with the seller and they were very supportive and helped me with an alternative option. I would give 5 stars but have not received the new phone yet to ensure it works properly but I am happy with the seller for working with me and look forward to the replacement product. Will come back and give 5 stars if replacement phone works properly

If someone is deciding to make a purchase like this, you need technical knowledge I didn’t have.
I love the phone, but if it wasn’t for my son-in-law’s technical expertise, I don’t think I could have gotten it working correctly.

Wanted the smallest & latest iPhone. I could not get a new one anywhere so I went this route. Very glad I did! Phone showed up in 2 days, it was in perfect shape with no blemishes & most importantly it has 100% battery life! Love the size & performance of the phone. Battery life is also pretty good!

The phone to get if you want small form-factor
First off, my phone came looking like-new with 100% battery health and an original screen. No signs of use whatsoever, very pleased.I came from a 13 Pro, upgraded to a 14 Pro, then “downgraded” to the 13 Mini as the heft and size were wearing down on me. Since Apple discontinued the Mini series, I figured this was my last chance to get in on this form factor, unless they bring it back for the SE series.For months, I loved everything about this phone. The weight, the size, the capabilities. As time went on, I realized that I am still using my phone just as much as I always do, and the battery was having difficulties keeping up. Yes, I could charge during the day (and I do have a magsafe battery pack) but doing so was annoying. Even moreso, I noticed that the camera quality was a big downgrade, something I didn’t think I would care about. I was beginning to miss my old 13 Pro. The 13 Pro had better battery (in my experience) to the 14 Pro, and I remember taking some of my best pictures with it too. So I decided to utilize Amazon Premium Refurbished to get a 13 Pro as well, and I am equally as happy with it.I’m keeping both phones, I have a feeling I’ll want the satisfaction of using a tiny phone again once in a while. But ultimately the battery, camera, and 120hz screen left me craving the 13 Pro again. If you don’t use your phone way too much like I do and want a smaller iPhone, definitely get this while you still can.

Great phone!
Purchased this phone in acceptable condition from DirectCertified. Condition ordered Acceptable.I upgraded from an iPhone 7 because my service provider told me Apple was no longer sending the required security updates for older phones. I wanted a newer/newest I could afford with a small screen still. I was going to go for the SE2 since it was about the same price. I realized this phone had a larger screen in an even smaller form factor. So, I went for this one.I received it about a week earlier, in 2 days. It actually shipped the night I purchased. It came in near perfect condition, there is a small hairline on the screen but it’s only noticeable in light. I’m not even sure if it’s on the screen itself or the screen protector though.Phone works great, it is using my 7 as a hotspot (I think that’s what it’s called?). For some reason it’s not getting a signal with the SIM card (and my company doesn’t have eSim, looking into switching companies since they’ve been no help). The 7 works perfect with the same sim card and they are right next to each other. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s using the 7 as well or whatever it’s called. Or not. As long as it works on WiFi right now, I’m fine until I get it sorted out, which is nothing to do with the phone itself.Ordered the pink color and it’s gorgeous. I did notice my photos/videos have a yellow tint don’t look the most natural to me, but I’m assuming it’s something in the settings. Not sure. it def looks much different from photos taken with the 7 color wise.

iPhone mini 13
Got this phone for my mom she’s been wanting a smaller phone. And I wanted something simple for her to use and the condition of the phone is amazing it only had one scratch on the corner. But if you don’t go looking for it you won’t notice it from far a case and a screen protector and the phone is good to go.

Not sure yet…
It took almost 2 hours to do the transfer from phone to phone. I should have realized then that I was going to have problems. It came at 88% battery life. I noticed it getting a little hot already. It has no dents or scratches which is a plus.If you are going to buy one pay that extra money for the premium because maybe you will have more battery life.

Loop did it again🚀
I purchased a refurbished iPhone 13 mini and received it yesterday. I cannot tell you how satisfied I was to get another excellent condition phone. Second one bought in two years and both were like new. The other phone was also refurbished but another model. I did buy their “excellent condition.” Battery 100%, and not a mark on it. I believe I got what I paid forIt is so enjoyable getting what you pay for and Loop did make my day since Apple no longer makes this model. Thanks Loop.

Premium is worth the extra dough !
Love my new (refurb?) 13 mini. Was in disbelief that I could not find a scratch or flaw in or on this iPhone. The only way I could tell it’s used was battery max capacity at 98%. Almost perfect !Lucky or blessed? No regrets. Thanks Hybrid IT and Amazon.

Came undamaged, no scratches or cracks, good quality. The only issue is the battery health which was at 81%. Other than that this is a good phone.

I just received it and it has 100% battery life. Super Happy I am:-)
My wife is using a iPhone SE 1st gen and I wanted to give her my iPhone 12 mini, so I purchased this iPhone 13 mini. What is not my color of choice, but it was cheaper and has 512GB so, click and bought. 100% life battery and not a mark on it. I always place my iPhones in Otter Box Defenders, so really I cannot tell it is white. Super happy with this purchase.

Really suggest avoiding Amazing renewed premium
Renewed premium says specifically that it should not have a scratched screen, and it arrived with a scratched screen. I sent it back, they lost it (or someone stole it in the warehouse or whatever), and I had to fight with them 6 weeks to get my money back (despite having proof of arrival).Beyond that is the review of the phone itself. Well, that might be a little pointless because everyone already knows if they like iPhone or not. This is my first one and I am really disappointed. Whatever clarity and smoothness of design Steve Jobs originally intended for these things has worn away over the years until the interface is a clunky mess. Little things like, say, putting the LONG settings menu in alphabetical order are impossible.Plus, using tutorials online I had to spend 90 minutes shutting off to less than 15 secret ways it monitors and reports your every activity. They already charge SO much money for these, but want to make money off every inch of your private usage as well.One of the biggest downsides is no little blinking light to tell you when you have a text waiting. Such a nice feature on Samsung.Has its upsides though. It is indeed tiny enough to easily fit into a jeans pocket. After 3 months usage the battery life is still really impressive. I mean I charge the thing like twice a week. The fast charge function is at least twice as fast as regular charging (of course you have to separately buy a more expensive charger). Facial renegotiation is decent (it has trouble when I am sleepy, which is annoying), but I would prefer fingerprint option. Camera is…fine. I mean I would rate it as exactly as good as my 7 year old Galaxy. No headphone jack, which means there will be a quality limit on any music broadcast from the phone (bluetooth compresses quality, the dirty secret of no-jack phones), but I think most people won’t care.

Note: ”Acceptable” condition isn’t necessarily about the phones physical condition.
I bought an “Acceptable” condition phone and would say the physical condition was “Excellent”, however the battery was at 86% which made me understand why it was put in the “Acceptable” category.The above being said I’m still very pleased with my purchase and would still give it 5 stars due to the savings over a new one along with the “Acceptable” vs. “Excellent” condition savings.And the thing to keep in mind is if you have some technical know-how you can get and install a new battery on the cheap on your own (or take it in for a replacement), and still save.

Doesn’t look used!
This is my first iPhone, and I was concerned I would have a hard time figuring it out. I was wrong. Most of the stuff is intuitive, I am impressed with the storage capacity, the quickness of processing, and the camera! Battery life is a bit short compared to my Samsung, but that is ok. It will make me use it less for games!

First experience buying a used phone, highly recommend this seller!Order arrived in 2 days with zero scratches or signs of use. Battery health is at 91% (product description guaranteed above 80%), which is not bad for a nearly 2+ year old phone.This order is exactly what I’d hoped and I’ll likely go the same route in the future.Thanks!

Like new – except location services don’t work
This phone is in perfect condition and truly is like new, except I realized that the phone didn’t have location sharing abilities. There was no option to see my friends’ location in iMessage and there was no “people” tab in Find My. I called Apple support and they informed me this is because the phone was originally purchased in a region where location sharing is not supported. So returning and hoping to get one that was purchased in a region where location sharing is supported… I searched the reviews for “location” and nothing came up so maybe this is not very common and I just happened to get one of the few phones with this issue.

Not Too Good To Be True
I lament that it is not possible to get a new iPhone Mini, the greatest iPhone Line ever made. Via Trademore I obtained an iPhone 13 Mini, Refurbished, indistinguishable from New. It activated to my Wireless Carrier via eSIM perfectly. Thank you.
