Wat is dis JuNk
Can’t turn off screen rotation nor auto-correct can’t turn on the flash(light) there is no shortcut nor widget for screen brightness and voice command is so malicious that the only two times I’ve tried telling it to go away or get off of my screen it’s tried video calling exes. Irreplaceable battery has needed charging at least twice a day since day one, menu button isn’t sensitive enough, the screen acts too sensitive for wide or slow ‘taps’, every available app has thousands if not millions of bs reviews, notifications require too much interaction to acknowledge or dismiss if that seems possible at all, idk what part of the phone has been quick to play music since Bluetooth pairing it with my vehicle but every single time it has been terrible noise; lastly but far from least important, ‘smart’ “phones” such as this are so terrible at being phones that if I needed emergency services accessing my bank account would be easier faster and probably more helpful, somehow making beepers look more functional, despite both being less expensive than landlines let alone payphones to use.

Phone appears flawless.
Next day delivery and the phone has not a scratch. Battery has 100% capacity. Everything appears to work properly. As far as I can see, it’s in “as new” condition, but about 75% the cost. That’s a pleasant surprise.

Phone is great, “refresh” was decent
Phone is great, works well, and has great multi-day battery life for how it is used (occasional checks of a notification or phone call). If used as GPS navigation or running intense games, then battery life is good, but not amazing, and it gets warm. Purchased because it is the last of the Touch ID phones, and facial recognition sucks, especially if you’re trying to unlock the device while driving to respond to a message with siri or similar. It is exactly what you should expect for the phone, so check out reviews and comparisons.As for the refresh, the phone itself was great. But it said it came with EarPods (it didn’t) and a power adapter (it didn’t), in addition to the lightning cable. One could argue that this is what the new Apple version comes with, but then the lightning cable would be USB-C, rather than the older USB-A…and that isn’t what the description said.

Shotty speaker
Well the battery life says 100%. Everything else seems to be fine. The phone was delivered Oct 24 but I wasn’t able to get everything transferred over from my old phone until this past wkend. Just noticed this morning one of the speakers doesn’t work which is very disappointing considering my old phone only had one working speaker. I used my old refurbished phone (iphone 7) for 5 yrs and hope to use this one just as long just sucks I have to have one speaker for the entire duration. I hope it lasts.

Perfect size with the battery and power of recent y
I didn’t want a phone that was too big for my pocket. I loved the size of my SE which had finally given up on holding a charge so I was excited to see they made a new SE.Lots of storage, great battery life, good camera and it fits in my pocket. Plus the price is reasonable! I love it

Happy
Pixel 6 pro really sucks. Really hated it so cut the contract and replaced my phone to iPhone SE. small screen and the camera may not be the best, but satisfied a lot more than pixel 6. I am happy.

The phone arrived in perfect condition
The phone arrived in like new condition. No scratches, No cracks, Very Clean. I have only had it for a week, but cannot find anything wrong with it. Yes, I would recommend it to others. The Quick Start feature worked perfectly and I was able to transfer everything from old phone to new phone in matter of minutes.

great except for the mute switch
good quality and battery life. the last iphone with a home “button”. however, the mute switch is too easy to toggle and there is no way to disable it other than superglue.

iPhone SE
This IPhone SE was in pristine condition, no scratches on face or the back. The battery 90%, so husband is very pleased with replacing his IPhone 7. He like home button so he is pleased it remains charged as opposed to his older phone. I would buy again from this seller.

Work as expected. Could not get to port my data backup to new phone; I spent 4 hours one evening trying but to no success. Ended up doing a new phone setup and manually moving my content later

A step backwards
I was attracted to this phone because of the price and apple still supports it with updates . I didn’t realize it would feel a little archaic. It’s kinda fun, kinda like a Walkman. I’m not excited that I have to continually press the button to advance but it’s a cheap solution in an expensive world.

Seems perfectly new
I was hesitant to buy a renewed phone, but it is definitely like any brand new one. Great value, love the red. Like the small size and the home button on this model.

Can’t tell it’s not brand new.
My phone went for a swim in the pond! So I bought a refurbished phone and am very happy with this iPhone 6SE. Same as my old phone so it’s just what I wanted. And it’s working perfectly. And saved me quite a few bucks.

Can’t tell if it was New or Not
With a little hesitation. being retired you quickly learn to be skeptical, I ordered this unit with Kanga Supply as the seller and coming from Amazon. To my surprise I was very surprised when it arrived. My eyes may be aging but I could not see and defect or scratches anywhere even on the screen which came with a protective clear covering and all accessories were included. Set up was easy, the battery life still says 100% and running fine. I’ve had it for several weeks and all went well. No problem switching the Sim card as well. This was to replace the original Apple SE I have and to go with the Apple SE 2020 I have. The Original was to be given to my wife but come to find out, even though it is in perfect condition as well will not work with the apple watch we gave her for Mothers day so I swapped her out and took back the original and gave her the 2020. Eventually I will come back and shop again with the Amazon renewed premium and look for Kanga and a 12 or 13 mini 256gb. I really like the smaller phones fits into my pocket sweetly. Maybe they’ll look into giving me a break on another one haha — would be sweet, it seems like SSI dollars are not holding their value. One Question, this phone is in Excellent condition and health and a new model –it holds a 1 year warranty but why does apple care + reject covering it? Thanks for answering, maybe you can share how to fix that dilemma which is not Amazon or the Sellers fault. In Conclusion I, as you read above, would buy again from this seller and recommend them and Amazon renewed Premium any day of the week. Forgive the picture its my lousy attempt on putting on the screen protector and too cheap to remove and replace it.

Three days in, so far so good!
Not wanting to deal with plan provider and wanting to lessen the cost of replacing my failing 2016 6s but stay with the smaller size with the home button I was used to, I finally opted for the 128 gb Iphone SE 3rd gen renewed premium. I have had it for 3 days.It arrived in under 24 hrs.It was well packaged with airpacks.Looks to be in perfect condition. The front facing photo specks are bubbles under the protective plastic covering.Once I got my computer to cooperate, the switch over using iTunes took under an hour. Would have probably gone faster had the old phone ever been backed up (my bad). Haven’t found anything that didn’t load to the new phone.The SIM card switch worked perfectly.Other than the differences due to more options on the newer phone and a difference in reaction to touch from what I was used to I haven’t had any issues.I have always used an otter box cover due to work around water and construction. I paired this time with a Supcase Unicorn Beetle. Cheaper and smaller than the old otter box but less cushioned.Overall I am happy with my purchases at this time.

Looks new
It looked perfectly new and no scratch was found having taken a closer look when it arrived. Battery is still 100% after one and half month of usage. The cable accompanied was a lightning-usb a, while the original setup should have been a lightning-usb c, but it’s not a big problem for me.

Good for the price.
Going from the 1st gen SE to this 3rd gen SE. The 3rd gen has a better screen, better speaker, better camera, and more storage capacity. It has a worse battery life and no headphone jack. Speed-wise I’m sure it is faster (same CPU as the iPhone 13) but for what I do I don’t notice a difference. I’m not playing any fancy games on a little touch screen. The 1st gen had a bit of a rougher texture that gripped a bit better. This one is slicker and feels like it could slip out of my hand.

Love my Premium Renewed Phone
I went from a iPhone 12 64 GB to iPhone SE 3rd Generation 256 GB unlocked. The phone is significantly smaller and definitely reminiscent of the older iPhones with a home button vs. swiping up. My timing was perfect because I ordered Consumer Cellular’s updated SIM card which works perfectly with the phone. It makes a big difference. I take public transportation, i.e., BART. I previously had no cell phone service on BART whereas now I can read email and have access to sites I could not access. I would not hesitate to recommend Amazon’s renewed store. They stand behind their products and have reputable sellers.

This phone has apparently been marked as lost or stolen as the line keeps getting suspended by att.Verizon has marked this phone for fraud! Do NOT buy!! Amazon probably will turn around and sell this knowing it’s fraud!!

Defective canera
Canera keeps giving black screen. I never really change modes and don’t do selfies. I reboot and it will take a few pics then go black again. I take a lot of pics and screen shots so this is an issue. Also cannot use any app that requires the camera.The home button is inconvenient but that is likely a design flaw. Can this camera be fixed?

Phone just suddenly stopped working.
Everything was fine with this purchase right up to point that it just suddenly and for no apparent reason, turned off. It has not come back on to date. This happened all of six days after being delivered. Needless to say I am not pleased.
