   I’ve always been behind on apple products. This is mainly because I want to make sure I get a decent value for the money I spend.

   For a refurbished phone, the condition is excellent. Couple of microscopic screen flaws but, it’s nothing to lose one’s mind over.

   The performance of the phone is definitely a step up from the old one I had.

   I’m happy to have a better camera, more memory, and the ability to use 5G cellular connectivity now.

   OMG, they gave me a phone with 99% battery health. It’s almost brand new, without any scratches, and the screen is very responsive. I think Premium is really useful, haha, definitely worth the purchase. By the way, it also came with a charger and a data cable. Although it’s not a fast-charging interface, it’s already very worthwhile.

   On my journey of ordering a refurbished iPhone and it can be a journey this was an excellent purchase. Screen and display are flawless, phone is in excellent condition and all features work properly. Charging port of the phone works properly, speakers are loud and clear, buttons are solid, haptics crisp. Battery Health is 88% and stable. Got same day delivery and up and running quickly. Purchased refurb level was “excellent”. Should have been my first stop..

   Now I did mention a journey so let me add a quick tip if this is your first time looking for a refurbed phone.

   I purchased another phone days before from a different seller based on amount of sales and ratings.
   Refurb level was “Premium” waited a few days and once received phone came with a faulty charging port, display was showing in settings as “unknown” or issue with hardware. So in the return box this goes.

   Many of these refurbished phones are due to cracked screens. Some companies will use non-genuine apple products during the repair. So be prepared this may be an issue when you receive your phone from some refurb sellers. I personally will not accept it and if I’m paying a premium dollar amount for a 3 or 4 year old phone I expect it to be repaired with genuine iPhone parts. Not to mention I don’t appreciate caution notifications every time I go into my settings.

   Again the phone I received from this seller was flawless with no issues and fully wiped. The other thing is when you receive your phone it should be completely wiped and ready for set up. If it is not! Do NOT connect it to any of your devices, specifically computers or your wifi before the factory reset.

   I’ll preface this review by saying I am pretty picky when it comes to my possessions. My IPhone 7+ finally gave up the ghost. I was hoping to get through the remainder of this year so that when the IPhone 15 came out that I would get a renewed 14 Max Pro but that was not to be. We had purchased a renewed IPhone 12 for my son from another seller and were surprised with how clean it was when it arrived. We paid extra for the excellent condition and it was in pristine condition with a 100% battery max battery health.

   Prime day comes along and I see this phone from this seller. It was roughly $200 more than the regular IPhone 12 that we bought for my son but it was the Pro model and it did have 512k of storage. Due to the positive experience we had with the earlier purchase, I decided to pull the trigger.

   Fulfillment was great. I had ordered the phone on 7/11 and it was scheduled to arrive on 7/14 but to my surprise it hit my house on 7/13 which was a nice surprise.

   When I picked up the package I got worried because I could hear and feel something rattling in the box that was shipped in a form fitting padded envelope. To my relief I found the phone to be intact. It arrived with protective plastic on the screen, a SIM port tool, and a lightning charging cable that was loose in the box. Upon inspection I found the screen to be free of scratches or gouges but there is some slight surface marring on a small section of the screen that you have to look for in order to see. The bezel was clean except for a couple of nicks. The worst sign of usage is a chip above the top of the highest camera lens. It’s not huge but you can definitely see it and it looks like a chip in a car windshield since the back of the phone is finished in glass. The only other thing to mention is that there was a bit of what looks like green metal tape that was poking out of the side of the phone between the screen and bezel which I was able to rub off with my fingernail. It looked like the refurb process was not as clean as it could have been.

   Going into the settings I found that the max battery life was only 85% which was kind of a bummer. Setting up the phone was a breeze with ICloud but I haven’t figured out how to pull down the pictures that resided on my old phone. My apps came over but know I had to re-enter my passwords in most cases.

   After only a couple of day usage, everything seems to work fine. Amazon gives 90 days to return for any issues. The camera on the pro is a definite improvement over the 7+. Size wise the unit is smaller than the 7+ but the screen is bigger on the 12 since it doesn’t have the home button at the bottom which I keep wanting to press out of habit.

   Overall the purchase was better than ok. If the phone has another 10% of battery life and the nick on the camera was not present then I would rate the item as excellent. I’ll always wonder if I should have purchased a phone from the other seller that sold a phone in perfect condition. I will update this review should anything major happen with the phone.

   The renewed model I received had no visible scratches or signs of wear, which was impressive.

   In terms of performance, the iPhone operates smoothly and efficiently, meeting my expectations for speed and functionality. The renewed device handled apps, multitasking, and everyday tasks with ease, just like a new iPhone would.

   However, there was one aspect that left me slightly disappointed: the battery life. Upon checking, the battery capacity was at 80% of its original capacity. While this is understandable for a renewed device, it did mean that I needed to charge it more frequently than I would with a new iPhone.

   Here’s a review for a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro with poor voice quality and a depleted battery:

   Title: Buyer Beware: Refurbished iPhone 12 Pro Falls Short

   If you’re in the market for a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro, proceed with caution with the units gor sale here. My recent experience with a supposedly “certified” refurbished unit from a third-party seller has been nothing short of disappointing.

   Let’s start with the voice quality. Despite being touted as “like new,” the voice quality during calls is abysmal. Voices sound muffled, and there’s a constant static noise that makes conversations a struggle. In an age where crystal-clear audio is expected, this issue is simply unacceptable.

   But the problems don’t stop there. The battery life on this refurbished unit is a joke. After a mere few hours of moderate use, the battery drains alarmingly fast, leaving you tethered to a power source. And to make matters worse, the battery health has already depleted to a dismal 88% – a far cry from the promised “like new” condition.

   Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this purchase is the lack of warranty coverage. Since the Apple warranty has expired, any issues that arise will be solely the responsibility of the new owner. That means costly repairs or replacement expenses down the line, effectively negating any potential savings from buying a refurbished device.

   In conclusion, while the allure of a discounted refurbished iPhone 12 Pro is understandable, this particular unit fails to deliver on its promises. Poor voice quality, abysmal battery life, and the lack of warranty protection make this a purchase I cannot recommend. Unless you’re willing to take a significant gamble, it’s best to steer clear of this particular offering and explore alternative options.

   I purchased the Apple iPhone 12 Pro from Amazon as a birthday gift for my wife, and it has exceeded all expectations! Amazon offered a special price during a sale, making it an irresistible deal.

   From the moment my wife unboxed it, she was thrilled. The sleek design, vibrant Super Retina XDR display, and premium feel make it a standout device. The camera quality is phenomenal, capturing stunning photos and videos that rival professional cameras. My wife loves the new Night mode and the enhanced portrait shots.

   Performance-wise, the A14 Bionic chip ensures everything runs smoothly, from everyday tasks to more demanding apps. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting through her busy day.

   Additionally, the 5G capability future-proofs the phone, ensuring it’s ready for the next wave of technology.

   Overall, this purchase has been a huge hit, making my wife’s birthday even more special. Thank you, Amazon, for the fantastic deal and fast delivery. Highly recommend the iPhone 12 Pro!!!

   I’ve recently uploaded my iPhone X to an iPhone 12 pro.
   All good, except for the casing that had very minor scratches on the bottom, near the charging port, and the fact that it came with 84% battery life.
   Not bad, but I was really hoping for at least 95% battery life.
   Either way, I opted to keep it, instead of the hustle of returning and searching for another one.

   The item is being returned. This was a good value for the price, but unfortunately, the SIM is not compatible with Verizon. I will not wait for Verizon to send a physical SIM card. The following statement, copied from the sales page, is not true: “Fully unlocked and compatible with any carrier of choice (e.g., AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, US-Cellular, Cricket, Metro, etc.).”57

   Update… I was able to use this phone by activating on Mint Mobile. It does not work for Verizon but this will work as an alternative.

    Buying a used phone can be an anxiety filled experience – you read the reviews and hope that you’re one of the happy customers and are lucky enough to get an “as advertised product.” You have to take a chance. I did and the phone arrived quickly and with an unexpected charger and cord – generic box and bubble wrap. The phone was listed as in “excellent” and it truly was without a mark, dent or scratch.
    Several hours of backing up, transferring data and sim – now the phone is truly working and picking up where the prior phone handed off to the latest one.
    The challenge of course is you have a new phone – and its always a bit steep for the first few days trying to learn the new hardware/software and audit that the used phone does not have some hidden defect that is going to cost you more time and money. So, I’m happy for a few days and then one evening I discover that the bottom speaker (the top earpiece speaker is actually called the receiver) was not working well. scratchy and little to no volume – this had missed my attention entirely. A panic search online revealed Apple 12 speaker problems and them being repaired by Apple – crap!
    I went to a repair shop the next day, they ran Apple diagnostics on the phone and sure enough – speaker needed to be replaced – $120 for generic parts, $180 for Apple parts – they’re not familiar with the Apple repair program (found out later that was for receiver speakers) – so this is half of the cost of the phone.
    No I’m committed to the new phone, don’t want to lose it, but don’t want to pay this either.
    Reach out to seller and explain the issue – they can even confirm the Apple diagnostic through the serial number – They offer $25 refund if I’ll keep the phone. – So this tells me that they don’t run diagnostics on the phones themselves – or do and hope that people will simply miss small items or accept them once they have sweat equity in the phone – or, it’s all honest and by buying/selling a used phone both parties are taking a gamble. I chose to believe the latter. And accepted their offer.
    And here’s the takeaway – the speaker now works – once in a while I might think I hear some scratchy, but unsure due to surrounding conditions. So for now, it’s good, we’ll see how long it lasts – but if I have to get it repaired – I took a chance –
    I say take a chance – you might get a perfect phone and save a lot in the meantime – I typically stay a few models behind the curve and benefit from software updates and people abandoning perfectly working phones for the latest models – AT&T typically had new old stock and I took advantage of that, but I have a grandfathered plan that they no longer make good money on, so I’m no longer eligible for that.
    Hope your experience is a good one – all the best, Don
