Apple iPhone 12 Mini, 64GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed)

The phone is like a brand new one and it is for my personal use

This iPhone 12 mini lost its ability to connect to my car within just a couple of weeks. A trip to the AT&T store and it was restored by resetting the network. The battery doesn't even last one day. I do like the phone, but will probably get a different one in a year or so. The company did send me a different color than I ordered, but since color doesn't make the phone, I kept it.

Received phone very quickly and was pleased to see that it was in excellent condition. The phone looks like new.

Very happy with replacement phone and appreciate the support and speedy response by the seller

I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I think people should be warned. I’ve been through four of these phones in a couple months, and they have all had major issues from Camera not working to audio issues, and the worst of all one COMPLETELY DIED after four months. Unfortunately, the Amazon warranty is only three months. (I thought it was one year because other competitors offer that. But it does clearly say on their page that it’s only three months.) During these three months, they to completely refund you no problem or fix the issue that you report. But unfortunately the phone I kept died on month four, while I was on vacation to make matters worse. Seems like the sellers are always different stores, but all amazon approved and they follow some sort of Amazon standards for these phones. But it seems to me that these phones have really severe issues so these Amazon sellers fix the phones to a certain standard, but they are not in good condition. All the sellers are polite and responsive, but the issue is the actual phones and their conditions. Even though these phones are used, they are not cheap, they should function properly. I’ve been an Amazon customer for years and I really haven’t had any issue with them. That was the reason why I decided to buy the used phone on Amazon instead of a competitor. But this is truly disappointing to the point that I think I’m going to report them to the Better Business Bureau. They should not be selling phones in this condition. FULL STORY Phone 1: iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition ) Received Mid October Seller: Kojak sales When I receive the phone physically it seems fine. But as soon as I put a case on it, a lot of little pieces of paint started coming off of it and then you could tell it had a lot of scratches on the case so somebody was trying to cover the scratches, then I put a screen protector on it, and after trying to I could not get rid of a humongous huge bubble, took a third of the screen. So some thing was hinting to me that the screen was not straight. In my opinion, the phone shouldn’t have been sold as good condition with so many scratches but since I don’t care about the look as much as functionality, I move forward. But then, after a few weeks of using the phone, I realized things were not working properly. The camera was very slow at taking pictures if it was dark or if you were using inside the message or WhatsApp. Also, if I received a text while listening to videos or video calls, the speaker would suddenly gets super low, and I could barely hear the video for about two minutes . (usually this lowering of audio feature happens only for five or 10 seconds). This was worrying me so I contacted the seller and told him I wanted to change the phone and he said no problem. Since I was still thinking that this was bad luck, but in general, I liked the iPhone 12 I decided to buy another phone as a replacement, and one more phone as a Christmas gift. I’ll explain below the problems with those phones, but since the problems were actually worse than the current first phone I had in my possession, I never gave back this phone. I kept thinking that maybe the issues would get better with update and also, in my mind, I thought I had a year warranty. Unfortunately, in February while away on vacation the phone one morning, simply never turned on again. My dad is an engineer and he tried helping me connect it to computer and nothing it’s like the battery is no longer connected. I’m sure you can imagine the horrendous time I had the following week without my phone., traveling.. Things got worse when I got home and was able to contact the seller. I then discovered the warranty was only 90 days and that date had passed. After some back-and-forth the seller Kojak sales said they can fix it for $39 and I pay for shipping. I have still not done this since I’m skeptical and don’t understand how they can give me a price if they don’t even know the actual problem or if they need parts. But I really have no other option, or I lose $241 or I pay $60 more. (also, I have to figure out how to erase the phone from a PC if the phone doesn’t even turn on. I’m sad I’m gonna lose all my pictures from the last four months) After I send them the phone, I will update this review. -Phone 2 and 3- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition ) Received Mid begging of december Seller: Wilzee So one of these phones was supposed to be replacement for my phone and the second phone was gonna be a Christmas gift. But the first one was so scratch that I didn’t even set it up and I gave it back, no problem and the other phone after giving it as a gift, a little embarrassed with all the scratches, we set it up and realized the camera did not focus at all so I also gave this phone back and received a refund no issue. -4th Phone- iPhone 12 mini (Ordered EXCELLENT condition ) Received mid January Seller: PDI Mobile This phone did actually look really good in the outside barely any scratches. I was very happy with the look. But after setting it up again, the camera could not focus so we contacted the seller and sent it back and they fix the camera then after a few weeks of using also, it has audio issues. We’re looking at social media videos suddenly that audio lowers a lot. Since at this my 1st phone died suddenly we decided to give this 4th phone back. I don’t wanna take any chances since the quality of the phones is clearly not good. I don’t expect an issue with the refund. But I will update this review if I do.

People comment on my phone all the time. It's the right size. Everyone who chases the newer models, which seem to be growing in size, is trippin. I do not use a case, and I never drop this phone. The purple color pops. Gorgeous device, perfectly smooth functioning, long batter life. This is the one.

We purchased this iPhone 12 mini for our granddaughter six months ago, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The condition was flawless—she honestly thought it was brand new! The phone has worked perfectly since day one, and the battery was at 100% when it arrived—and still is today. Love the color too She loves the upgrade from her old flip phone, and we really appreciate how easy it is to manage her phone usage with Apple’s parental controls. Using the iPhone’s Screen Time and Family Sharing features, we can control who she can contact, limit how much social time (texting, calling, etc.) she has each day, and even schedule downtime when the phone is completely off. We’re also able to set daily limits for games, social media, and specific apps, giving us peace of mind while she enjoys her new device. Highly recommend—both the phone and the parental features make this an ideal choice for kids or teens! Features of iPhone Parental Controls include: Screen Time Management Monitor Usage: Track how much time your child spends on apps and websites. Set Limits: Establish daily time limits for specific apps or categories. Downtime: Schedule times when only approved apps can be used. Content Restrictions Block Inappropriate Content: Prevent access to explicit content in music, movies, and apps. Web Filtering: Limit access to adult websites or allow only specific approved sites. App Restrictions: Control which apps can be installed or deleted. Purchase Controls Prevent Purchases: Block in-app purchases and restrict app downloads.

Safety Features: Enable alerts for inappropriate content in messages. Privacy Settings Manage Privacy: Restrict changes to privacy settings and location services. Siri Restrictions: Control what Siri can access and search. These features help parents ensure their children use their devices safely and responsibly.

Super happy with the phone especially because it's a quarter of the price for the same exact phone from my carrier. I easily switched my sim card over and all my information over without a hitch. I didn't even need to go into the store and pay their ridiculous activation fee. There are no scratches, no damage, the phone works perfectly. The only thing to note is that the battery isn't as good as a brand new one but it's barely noticeable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I was searching for a lower cost alternative to a brand new iPhone but was afraid of a refurbished phone: off brand screens, unusual damage or problems with the board seem common with such devices. But the Amazon renewed claimed the vendors are held to high standards and the vendor had great reviews so I took a chance. I ended up with a used phone in excellent condition exactly as claimed in the ad. Some small marks around the camera bezel, a clearly dusty speaker grill and a couple tiny marks on the bottom edge are all the issues with the phone physically. Totally acceptable to me. The device has all original components. No comments in the About menu indicating a third party or repaired screen for example. The battery life is only 83% so this also indicates its original. That’s maybe the only downside to this phone and again, acceptable. Everything seems to work very well and it’s so much better than my old phone without breaking the bank ($1500 for a phone?!?) I would highly recommend the following when buying a used phone: make sure it’s in the Amazon renewed program, check the particular vendor and their reviews (some have like 50% satisfaction! Brutal) and then when you get it immediately inspect and check for off brand components (google it). If you find them consider returning it. If you do the above I think you will be happy.

What amazing products

El equipo llego tal como en la descripcion con su empaque, cargador, cable de carga y equipo movil. Su capacidad de carga esta al 100% y no tiene rayones de ningun tipo. Realmente da la experiencia como si lo hubiera comprado nuevo a una tercera parte de su precio de lanzamiento cuando se lanzo esta generacion. Ademas la sensacion que solo lo regresaron por el color, que en lo personal, azul rey no me gusta mucho pero le compre un case de Otterbox Defender y listo. Soy un usuario relativamente moderado -> pesado. Y la pila me dura hasta el final del dia al 20% restante. No juego mucho pero si veo series y reproduzco continuamente musica. Ademas al ser una pantalla de 5.4 pulgadas, aumenta la cantidad de ppp y hace que la OLED se vea increible. Es la 1ra vez que ocupo un iPhone y la experiencia es muy agradable.

Me llego con el 97% de batería, al actualizar al nuevo iOS quedo en 96%, si estás acostumbrado a pantallas grandes puede que cueste acostumbrarse, solo tenia unos rayones en la pantalla en las esquenas superior eh inferior, este último casi impresentable, no me di cuanta hasta que le puse protector y el primero chico pero a contraluz se notaba, hast ahora estoy satisfecho y si volvería a adquirir un producto reacondicionado.

Pues llegó todo bien con 80% de pila, no tienen ningún detalle, y con el cargador original, pero lo esperaba con un poco más de pila porque era el de mas alta calidad de reacondicionados.
