Apple iPhone 12 Mini, 256GB, Green - Unlocked (Renewed)

Phone came in excellent condition and was very easy / user friendly to set up. It came with a fresh tempered-glass screen protector, already on it. No visible damage noticed. The price was great, for receiving a fully unlocked iPhone with such a large storage capacity (256). The battery life on this specific model (iPhone 12 mini) isn’t the best, compared to other iPhones. But I think that’s just the model, not the condition the phone came in. The periwinkle/purple color this comes in is magnificent. I upgraded from my perfectly functional iPhone 11, simply because I wanted more storage and something even smaller. If you’re someone like me that is slow to upgrade their iPhone and wants to keep it small, this is a great, sustainable upgrade choice.

Great buy. The wireless charging is a nice addition. Picture quality is the best I’ve had in a long time. This phone is sleek and is well designed. I especially appreciate the smaller size. I would have appreciated better battery capacity, but that is an ok tradeoff for the price.If you’re interested, take a look at some of amazons products. They have lots of phones to choose from:https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Renewed/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_12653393011?ie=UTF8&node=12653393011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Amazon+Renewed

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 STORYPhone 1: iPhone 12 mini (Ordered good condition )Received Mid OctoberSeller: Kojak salesWhen 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 decemberSeller: WilzeeSo 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 JanuarySeller: PDI MobileThis 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.

So far so good this is the first time at 81?my mother has ever had a smart phone! It’s a learning curve, but she has to get used to it in order to get new hearing aids that will connect directly to the Bluetooth from her phone as her flip phone secondary hearing transponder called a loop set is becoming obsolete. I think she’s doing a great job and her audiologist told her to get between a model 8-12 and that would be fine I chose the I 12 mini because it is slightly smaller and a little less heavy. It has all the features she will need. I felt comfortable with the 90 day return policy instead of a 30 day so far it’s working and pretty soon, she should be able to feel comfortable enough with it to order the new hearing aids.

I’ve been using the renewed iPhone 12 Mini (64GB, White, Unlocked) for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The phone arrived in excellent condition—clean, fully functional, and looked almost brand new. The white color gives it a modern, minimalist feel that I really love.The size is one of the biggest selling points for me. It's lightweight and fits comfortably in my pocket, yet it delivers the same powerful performance as larger iPhones. The screen is sharp and bright, and everything from scrolling to switching between apps is smooth and fast, thanks to the A14 Bionic chip.Even though it’s a smaller phone, the camera quality is excellent. Photos come out crisp and clear, and it handles low light better than I expected. Battery life is solid too—I get a full day on a single charge with regular use.The fact that it’s unlocked gave me the freedom to use it with my current carrier without any hassle. Being a renewed product, it also came at a significantly lower price than new, but with the same Apple quality.If you're looking for a compact, high-performance iPhone without paying full price, this is a fantastic choice. I’m very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it!

This iPhone is amazing. The screen is super durable and has yet to have any scratches or anything. The camera takes beautiful photos and the quality is beyond superior. The charging is super fast and for the price there is no iPhone out there with better value in my opinion.
