Item exactly as described
The blue 256gb iPhone 12 mini arrived on time as promised, a few small blemishes barely noticeable on the case bezel which are covered up by the protector. Glass protector came already installed. Although the maximum battery capacity shows 100%, the important battery message states that battery health is significantly degraded which could indicate that an aftermarket battery is installed. Battery life of the 12 mini is on par with the iPhone SE (3rd Gen) it replaced. I truly like the size of the 12 mini and it fits my lifestyle better compared to the SE. Face ID is awesome. Main reason I bought this phone is because I have a 160gb music library so now I can have all my music on 1 device which connects to any of the 3 vehicles I drive and wherever I go. Transfer from my SE to the 12 mini was a breeze. I can highly recommend the “renewed” program to anyone looking for a solid deal on phones that should last as long as Apple provides support.

Great Phone, Basically Out of Box New
This arrived in excellent condition, battery 95%. I really think it wasn’t a refurb, but overstock of an item Apple does not produce anymore. I bought this specifically for its size. I don’t like large phones. I don’t like paying insurance, to get a remanufactured replacement phone . I upgraded from an iPhone 8 to this, and am extremely pleased with the faster chip. I recommend this phone, the only downside is its inherently smaller battery than the larger editions. It’s good for an entire day with moderate use. That’s not an issue really, my car, my monitor all have fast, wireless charging. I think of it like this. It’s a price/phone for a “ throw down “ phone. I mean, it gets the job done, and at 250$, if I lose it, no worries, If I break it , no worries.

Poor battery life
The maximum batter capacity came in at 94%, now at 88% after 3 weeks. Have to charge at least twice a day to avoid it from dying. After an hour and a half of videos, goes from 100% to 48%. I average 5 hours and 40 minutes of screen time a day, and have to charge my phone multiple times to avoid it dying. I would recommend this purchase if you don’t spend more than $250

Although I was a bit worried when I bought it, It was totally worth every penny!!
I bought this phone wanting to transfer to apple from android and it did exactly that, phone arrived in great condition, only a few scratches and bumps on corners, I love this phone and all its features, plus the cameras are amazing! If you’re thinking about it do it!

Great investment
I really wanted to purchase a new iPhone, but I was not willing to pay $800-$1k for a brand new one. Amazon refurbished is an amazing option for people like me who feel the same. The phone looks amazing although it was a dirty in certain areas, but nothing that couldn’t be cleaned or that affects the functionality. The battery health is pretty good (85%), and I predict that it’ll last me a while!The package also included a charger, the brick, as well as the sim removal tool.Overall, an amazing purchase.

Ordered a black, got a blue
I ordered a black one but got a blue one. Other than that, just got the phone, new battery, nothing seems too off about it. Slapped a case on and I didn’t pay too much attention to see if there are any tiny marks on the actual phone.

Decent phone
Phone arrived in perfect condition. Works as expected. Only reason for 4 stars is the 82% battery. It just clears the industry 80% minimum. I should have went for the extra money from someone that sells with a new battery. So add $79 to the cost for a new battery

Great and good priced phone
I got this iPhone 12 mini not too long ago! It fits perfectly in my hand and pockets!One thing I noticed when I got it was there was a few scratches on the sides of the phone not too major, and everytime I put on and take off the phone case some of the edge paint/peices fall off. So other than that it’s a really good phone and I recommend buying!

Excellent?
The phone works great, however, there’s a long very deep scratch on the glass. I paid for an excellent used phone, but got a fair. It’s pretty bad when you can feel the depth of the scratch with one’s fingernail.

It’s pretty good but after 2 month the sim was not working
It’s a pretty good phone phone the picture quality is pretty it came with some scratches but it didn’t matter and after some month with it my sim was saying sos I thought that it was my sim problem but then I switched to another carrier and it still says sos…………. If u need this phone to play its perfect but for business and Internet it’s not that great, at least if u have unlimited wifi.

Not the best battery capacity😥.
phone looks good but has few scratches on the side, if I were to rate the cosmetic it would be a 8/10. I’m concerned About the battery capacity, I bought the phone in excellent condition and received a 79% battery capacity. Which I am disappointed about, but besides that the phone looks alright.

Kojak is the best seller on the market
Back in April I risk to go on amazon to buy a Apple Watch an it came in a excellent condition frm kojak battery health at 90 in June I came back to buy a 12 mini got it with a 100% battery health brand new no scratches. Kojak is the best looking to buy something else again

functions great, but cosmetic condition is worse than expected
i purchased the “excellent” graded phone – which should have 80%+ battery health and no visible cosmetic damage from 12″ away. unfortunately, since i got the black model, scratches on the body revealed a silver underneath that is definitely visible from well over 12″ away. however, the battery health is at 100%, and the phone runs smoothly, so the tradeoff is definitely worth it to me! just something to keep in mind if you highly value the case-less appearance of your phone. it was also super great that a charger + block was included, since not even apple include that with their new phones now

I wouldn’t say I’m dissatisfied but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t underwhelmed. Going from a larger screen (iPhone X) to this is gonna take some time to get used to but overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

Good Enough for Frugal Folks
Has a few nicks in the screen and shell but no cracks. The battery is fine but not as good as a new phone would be. I am having trouble getting the air bubbles out when I apply a tempered glass screen, even after trying a couple different brands. Seems like the phone is slightly warped. I would buy it again because I am too frugal to pay full price for a brand new one.

I love it!!
You would think it were brand new! It legitimately took me DAYS to find the imperfection that they said it may have in the screen. Wonderful quality, they even put a screen protector on! I will say, finding the cases for the 12 Mini is a pain so go ahead and order one!!

Fantastic!
Awesome! Nice cheaper alternative. For me, The battery lasts about 8 hours. There were a few minor cosmetic blemishes on the sides of the phone, However, No cracks on the glass which is a plus! The phone is fast and smooth.

Looks great, runs great, but only 82% battery life upon receipt, yours might be different
Cosmetically excellent. Functionally perfect. However arrived with only 82% battery health. The advertisement guaranteed 80% or more so it did met its minimum as stated, but of course hoped for better (especially since this model isn’t known for the longest battery life even when new). Would I do it again? = Probably. Should you do it? = not sure as every used iPhone is used and has a unique history of use and abuse and every refurbishment is done just enough to get unit up to minimum specifications so one used phone may not be fully indicative of what another is. If you get a dud you’d probably realize it soon and be able to erase and return. Since i was comfortable with the tech of knowing I was buying the right unit for my network, changing SIM cards and updating software, for me it seems like a better value than $1000 for a new phone. Overall mildly positive rating.

Great purchase
I don’t review products usually. However, I think this will be very useful to anyone looking for used iPhone. The phone is sold by Kojak Sales and delivered by Amazon. The phone was delivered ahead of time and packaging was excellent with new MFI charging cable (thank you). Starting with the good things, the phone came with 100% battery health (which means that the battery is new) and a replaced original display by apple. See the screenshots.On the downside, there are signs of tear and wear all around the frame and the back of the phone. At certain angel, these marks are noticeable. From another, you don’t see much. See the pictures. The phone speakers volume is bit low and not very clear. Not sure if this is issue with the unit or iphone 12 mini in general. However, voice calls are very clear.I used the phone for a week now and I can say that there are no issues noted.Overall rating is 4.5 stars considering the price and new screen and battery. Internally the phone is operating as new one. Only half star for the cosmetic damages.

In amazing condition, works like new.
Only one barely visible extremely small scratch on the metal, everything else looks as if it was never used. Software runs well and fast. No complaints. Requested delivery in 2-5 days, the package was delivered less than 24 hours after I made the purchase.

Works great!
I’m giving it 5 stars because the price isn’t terrible for being a “refurbished” phone. It was in pretty great condition besides a couple scuffs where the camera lenses were. Despite some of these other reviews, the phone was definitely worth the buy. It’s been about a week now and everything runs perfectly with no issues. The only tiny problem I have is the battery life was at 86% so it does die somewhat faster than expected but all in all the phone does exactly what I needed it to considering my other phone was completely damaged and I could only see half the screen.

Scratched, many parts have been replaced with aftermarket
I bought an Iphone 12 mini in “excellent” condition first. All scratched up and if look very decently used. Did not care much, since I just want to use it as dashcam. Battery was at 100%- meaning it was replaced. Good and bad… since I got a message that the camera was not genuine also. So phone was damaged. Camera and battery were replaced. Problem is they got replaced with non-genuine parts. While I have nothing against aftermarket parts when I have to replace them, I have an issue when someone sells something and not disclosing that. I would rather have an old non genuine battery than a new aftermarket. Also the way Apple has been working lately what’s from stopping them disabling my non genuine camera. They try doing it before I believe people were outraged and they stopped and even a law- The right to repair was also introduced because of that. Either way bought another refurb phone after returning this one. That one I got it with the lowest possible condition- “acceptable” or something. Also, the cheapest. Honestly as far as scratches they look identical. This one battery was at 88%- so it hasn’t been replaced and no messages about non genuine parts. So I guess my advice would be to go in with a lot of expectations about these and my opinion just get the cheapest possible. Chances are you will still get the same condition unit.

A great phone, though no replacement for my Iphone SE (1st Generation)
This is a brilliant phone. Yes, it is a few generations down from the newest, and yes these are specifically refurbished as well. Even so! My phone arrived in basically new condition a year ago, and has worked well since.Battery life is…not amazing, but Iphones honestly don’t have great battery life. They’ll last you through the day depending on your use, but not much past that. That’s fine, I charge mine often.64GB’s is plenty for a phone unless you are recording often and keeping a large gallery or a ton of apps.I like the smaller size of the phone, I think phones are getting too big, and this has all the features of a big phone in the smaller package. I like the facial recognition (although it feels dystopian) as it makes unlocking the phone a breeze. I think the camera is very passable, and I like the screen. If not for being worried about dropping it, the outer case is beautiful. Apple outdid themselves.What I don’t like. The size…is actually still a bit too big for me. The Iphone SE (1st Generation) used the Iphone 5 frame. I thought that frame was truly amazing, as it wasn’t very big at all. Easy to one hand, almost as if designed to be. It in fact *WAS* designed to be. When I first got it, I realized this. It is too big to one hand comfortably, it’s not quite so big that 2 hands feels truly right. It’s fine, but I feel the mini should have been actually a touch smaller. Also, I honestly kinda dislike having almost all the phone’s front be the screen. There’s nowhere good to rest your hand to support it without touching the screen. I used to wrap my hand around the phone and support it with my thumb across the front, near where the button was. It’s a nitpick, but I just don’t dig it as much.For $200~275 though, is it worth it? Ab-so-lutely. It’s a great phone, I bought mine I think for near double that, and I only somewhat regretted the price tag. It’s held up very nice the past year, and I don’t expect to have to replace it for a good number. If not for the busted screen on my old phone, I’d still be rocking it despite a truly not good battery. This one makes for a fine replacement, and if you want a new Iphone, this is the one to get.

iPhone 12 Mini, 128 GB
Scratch resistant: The phone by itself can easily get scratched on the sides and just one drop itself can leave a noticeable scratch/mark if you drop it somewhere like the street or crossroad by accident.Screen: The screen feels very smooth if you are upgrading from something less newer. Easy to play games on if you have small hands as well as type. I recommend a screen protector cause every iPhone to ever exist is easy to get scratches without you even noticing.Battery: My phone came with 87% battery health and I was fine with it until within just a week or so it went down to 85%. That’s my only real problem with this phone.Camera: The quality is amazing so if you take pictures this will satisfy most of your needs. It’s definitely more than worth it if you’re looking to upgrade to something better or newer.Appearance: I personally got the red color and it looks amazing and brand new. The phone comes in a box with a SIM card opener pin, charger without cube, paper with information about the phone and seller, and the phone is inside a little bag.**Although it might not be important but if you for example get the 128 GB and you have the latest IOS update that means you’ll have 10GB less due to the software. So you’ll be left with 108GB or at least somewhere around that area**

Good looking and many new features
I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to this 12 Mini. I like that it handles 5G networks and runs on the latest operating system (17). This “reconditioned” or “refurbished” (EXCELLENT) phone truly looked brand-new.I’ve been using it for 3 days now, and it takes some getting used to, to navigate around the screens, finding your websites, tools, apps, etc. And CLOSING THEM is different, too. There’s no more “home” button on the bottom center like my old phone.As for battery life, it seems to charge more quickly than my iPhone 7 did, but it still uses up the battery just as fast. Today I started with 100% power at 7 am and didn’t make a single call, but did a few texts (with a couple of attached photos) and did browse a few websites. By 10 a.m. my battery was down to 80 percent. Of course the phone came with one 120V wall charger and a cord, and all my other iPhone and iPad charging cables work with this one too.

Phone looks like new, mic issue
The phone arrived in excellent condition, looks like a new phone with no scratches. Battery health was 80% which is understandable given that this is not a new phone so I had the battery replaced. There is one other issue: on phone calls the microphone has some crackling noise that can be heard by the person I am calling. If I use a headset instead of the built in mic then it works fine. So I am going to have the microphone replaced. Other than that the phone has been great and I am happy with it.

It has a small tiny scratch, kind of a crack but not really. It’s only visible while looking super close to it, even the camera couldn’t show it. But everything else is good, the phone works great and comes with a charger and box which is better than Apple. The actual battery health was at like 95% which is good and the quality it’s self for the phone is solid.
I love it really nice –

It’s so tiny!!!
It’s so cute!!! Tinier than i expected but it’s still adorable!! I got mine in white but it kinda looks baby pink, only problem is that i can’t play games like roblox or animal jam without accidentally hitting that like at the bottom of the screen. other than that it’s a really nice phone, it’s so small and you can quite literally fit it anywhere!

Read carefully what you buy
Bought it on purposes from Amazon renew center hoping for a slightly better attitude onstead of buying from an unknown 3rd party seller. As a result – 84 battery life, small scuffs on the body and a plenty of dust between screen and the tape (yes you can clean and swipe it and it’s just cosmetics but still)! The package was like a shoe box size and the phone was flying all over it in a smaller box. Item was listed as excellent. As a result – went to Apple service, paid 89 for battery replacement. Now it’s fine. Just keep it in mind

The best bang for your buck
Great little phone with BIG performance, mine looked like it came fresh from the apple factory.No scratches, dings, or scuffs.Camera and all buttons work well.Phone seems to be fully functioning after a month of heavy usage.My only complaint was the battery health being at 86% which honestly isn’t too shabby. I’m able to get about 5-6 hours of heavy usage on a single charge.

Pretty good overall
My only issue is it seems the battery might be defective. Battery health was 96% when I got the phone and after a little over a week of use it’s a 91%… I’ve never seen a battery drain this fast.

Looks like a new iPhone, exceptional value
Ordered based off of other reviews. Was time to get our 12 year old his first phone. A new iPhone with my carrier was $1,000 with no existing phone to trade in. Took a chance on Amazon Renewed iPhone 12 Mini. At this price, if we lost it, broke it, or whatever- it was a good business case. Phone was sent FedEx shipping and had it in one day. You couldn’t tell the phone was ever used. Came with pre-installed screen protector with no “bubbles”- better than I could have installed one honestly. Packaging was supurb, and came with a used charging brick in great condition, and what appeared to be a new charging cable to match. Phone stated it was unlocked. Tried to add new line with phone to my carrier plan and ran into issue. Called carrier, and they did a few resets to the carrier profile of the phone, and verified it was unlocked. Within 30 minutes had the phone up and running. Box stated the battery to be 85%, and that was verified in the phone’s settings to be correct. No issues at all, phone holds a full charge alomst as well as any new iPhone I have ever purchased for 4x the cost. Did not have high hopes for Renewed, but turns out this was like getting a pretty much new device, so my expectations were far exceeded. Told my wife I would not hesitate to go this route on another Renewed iPhone when my existing iPhone is paid off with my carrier, and save a monthly equipment payment going forward. Sure it is not the latest iPhone, but honestly- most of the improvements that the end-user really sees every year is in the camera- not so much a fancy new chip with marginal speed improvements on the same phone form factor. Is that worth $1,000 a year- that is a personal decision. Great purchase experience and value. For purchasing a phone for a teenager where you are worried about losing or breaking, this is a great option that one should explore before plunking down money on a risky purchase with a new carrier phone financed over 2-years. Also saves paying up to $20 a month for an insurance plan on said phone.

Nice phone
Good phone. I’m not very knowledgeable about specs; I just got it for personal use because I couldn’t install some apps due to incorrect region settings on my main phone. I travel frequently and needed a device for installing an eSIM. Yes, there are minor scratches, but overall the phone looks and functions excellently. I’m especially thrilled with the color. I love lavender.

good quality used iphone 12
This phone works great and the battery has 80% capacity like they said. No complaints, it is worth saving the money to stay with a couple generations back. Our last was a used iphone 7 that worked great until the battery got short lifed and the support ended. before that the 5 worked well. So, this beats spending thousands on phones that are the latest greatest on things we don’t need or use.

So far no issues!
I purchased this phone for my granddaughter to replace her broken phone. So far there are no issues with it. Hopefully it will last with no issues.

Great phone!
It was exactly as described except one thing. The top and the bottom looked kinda rough for excellent condition and there is a tiny dent on the top right. This phone should have been labeled as good condition. Nothing a case can’t cover up.

excellent customer service
Recently bought a reconditioned iphone 12 from Mobile Supply (Amazon Vendor). The phone arrived in excellent condition even approaching new condition. After set-up, the only way to listen to a phone call was to put it on loud speaker. I finally went to Apple and they ran remote diagnostics and informed me that the internal speaker was damaged. I contacted Amazon and they sent me to the vendor and within an hour a new phone was on it’s way to me. The replacement phone was also in like new condition and this one works just fine. While most would give this transaction less stars, I felt the customer service was second to none.

Feels like new, smooth setup
I bought this as a second phone for setting up all the Apps in preparation for traveling in another country. The delievery was fast, the setup process was as smooth as that for a brand new phone, no surprises, the phone is in prime condition. The battery life appears similar to a new phone. I love this refurbished phone.

Battery lofe
Everything was in pristine condition. There was even a screen protector already in place I’m very satisfied with everything. The only thing that I had an issue with is I have 84% battery health for a phone considered an excellent condition. I would’ve hoped to have a little bit higher battery life it should’ve been closer to 90% in my opinion I saw people who paid for good or acceptable condition and had higher battery or same battery as I do. I would’ve been cool with a couple nicks and scratches to have received a better battery, other than that, everything is great putting my Sim card in my generic phone service. It worked properly with no hassle or haggle good purchase overall.

It’s not bad of a condition but acceptable
It arrived quickly! But was expecting the product to be in excellent condition as it says on the description below “Refurbished- Excellent” I received a few scuffs around the corners of phone and a small dent on the left corner. I would list this phone as a good condition phone rather excellent. But the battery health is still good of 86%. Still lasts great. Saw the history of the parts, it is a Genuine Apple Part which is great. In conclusion the scuffs and the dent does not affect the performance of the phone as I can easily cover it up with a case, so it’s not noticeable. But probably next time when I buy a phone from Amazon it would be “Renewed Premium”

iPhone 12 mini-Content with my purchase!
I have had this phone for 7 days now. When it arrived, I was worried that it would be damaged due to the way the product was packaged. It was placed inside a box loosely then put into an envelope that was lined with bubble wrap. However, upon inspection, the outer appearance was flawless! There was not a single scratch anywhere, not even the screen.Once I got the phone powered on and switched on with my carrier, I noticed the battery health was at 85%. This is lower than I was expecting, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. I have used the phone vigorously and to my surprise, it has held up quite well. I do have to leave the Power Saver on for the battery life to last me throughout the day. I know this isn’t normal for an iPhone, but for being an old-ish model and since I am used to using a cheap android that has terrible battery life, I don’t mind having to charge it throughout the day. Especially since it is a wireless charger. I can throw it on a portable power supply and call it good.Overall, I am content with my purchase.

Battery life
Came in great condition, easy set up. Battery does die quickly I would say about half way through the day.

Phone good, hiccup during setup
I bought the phone for my wife. It’s been a week and she’s very happy with it. I worked on transferring settings and such from her old phone to the new phone, and that took a lot longer (3 hours) instead of 15 min (like it should have) because the phone didn’t come reset to factory settings. I didn’t realize that at the beginning. I kept waiting for the Quick Start screen to pop up. Eventually, I realized that I needed to erase this brand new phone to get it back to factory settings. Once I did that, the Quick Start screen popped up and things worked as they were supposed to. (Actually, I had to erase it three times. The transfer didn’t work the first time because I guess I wasn’t properly connected to appleID on the old phone [that doesn’t complete make sense to me now but that was my conclusion at the time]. The second time I’m not sure what happened. But it finally worked the third time, and like I said, my wife is very happy with it.)

iPhone 12mini via Amazon renewed program
This was the 1st of 2 iPhone 12 mini ordered via Amazon Renewed Program (premium) from Amazon’s third party vendor. Not knowing what to expect at first since prior iPhone purchases have always been brand new. I think the result was much better than expected as the iPhone 12mini looked effectively new without any visible blemishes; the accessories while not OEM, were just fine. The battery life was 93%; everything on the iPhone worked as good as new. I would rate this as a very good value purchase.It seems like I’ll need to combine my reviews for the 2 orders of iPhone 12, even though the phones were purchased at separate times.The 2nd iPhone mini 12, also through Amazon Renewed (Premium) 3rd party vendor. The quality of the phone was in excellent condition, no physical blemishes, battery life even better than the first, at 98%.; the accessories were not OEM, but were just fine; everything on the iPhone functioned properly as if it was new. If there was something to point out it, I think it’s commonly understood that since the mini versions are smaller phones, they’ll natural sport a smaller battery, hence a bit more frequent charging, but still it’s not a deal breaker esp for those who prefers a smaller size phone. Furthermore, w many portable chargers out there it easily counters any possible inconveniences.Amazon renewed program have other conditions (excellent, good, acceptable). Since I have not made purchases on these categories I won’t be able to accurately review or comment on them.

Work well and smooth
I was not sure what I would get but this one works well and smoothly. The size is also very comfortable in the hand. The one star is for the limited storage that is mostly take by internal apple software.

Good customer service
Bought this older phone for our son. However, the battery was not performing adequately. The seller was very helpful and provided us with several options including a battery replacement, which they offered to pay for. We took the phone to the Apple Store and replaced the battery. The seller refunded us the cost right away. My son is happy with his phone now.
