Upgrade

MICHAEL . 15 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

One would not know that this was a refurbished phone.

Not worth the price better to buy an Apple Refurbished

Juliet . 23 days ago

The battery life was substantially below par. The battery health maximum capacity was only 88% and so needed constant recharging.

Perfect solution!

HollyS . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This phone was an awesome way to go!! Great condition, kids love them and I saved a lot of money!! Thank you for offering this option.

Phone is a great replacement for my iPhone 7

Kate C . 1 month ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I wait to replace my cell phones until they are really on their last legs (darn things are so expensive). On to the iPhone 12. The phone worked out of the box. Shipping packaging was fine but the phone packaging was a bit questionable and the sheet for startup was missing (it was referenced as being in the box). Not a big deal as I had done this before so I went to youtube to do a quick review before performing surgery (placing the SIM card) just to make sure I didn't do anything stupid. Booted up fine and cloned my work phone (the personal phone I was replacing was too old to do that). Battery capacity is 87% which seemed a little low for a "great condition" phone, but is just fine. So far, so good! One thing unrelated to the phone is that I tried to order my otterbox case from Verizon but they didn't carry it for the 12 (Amazon saved the day). I'm a clutz so I Otterbox my phones to protect them from me :).

1 month ago

At this time I can not give you a review because your I12 phone has not arrived yet , you said that it would take up to 8 days and it has been over 8 days and still no phone I am at a point that I may have to return it with out trying it out because I will be headed out on a trip

Libby . 1 month ago

It's fine, just an iphone so not too inclined to get overly excited about it. A bit weird not to have a home button when I had one for so long. No touch ID feature which I miss but it does have face ID. Also hard to figure out what's 'open'. Requires swiping up from bottom left corner but that doesn't work consistently.

Like it kinda

It turns of sometimes at 7% and it overheats fast
