Apple iPhone 12 Mini, 64GB, Black – Verizon (Renewed)

Maybe serviced by Apple? if it was serviced? I think it was an open box return. It’s too nice!
Wow !!!! This iPhone 12 mini is BRAND NEW BASICALLY 🤯🥰😲 how ? I don’t understand yes I know I payed extra for “renewed premium” but still it’s like too nice it’s got a 94 % battery and it’s got like zero scratches I’d say one spot in the back maybe two ! This is gorgeous here’s a couple pictures I’m so happy the company is joygoods out of New York City I’m so happy with this phone I could shout from the rooftops !!!

DON’T BUY IT
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.

Great Phone – Battery Health Lower than expected
The phone works well and is a major upgrade from my previous iPhone. My one issue is that the minimum battery capacity was 74% when I received it. Amazon Renewed guaranteed at least 80%.The internet and download speeds are great. It was easy to transfer over my iCloud information and set up the phone within a few minutes. I plan to keep the phone and figure out options for battery replacement.

Its okay
I got this phone one year ago. Its my first iPhone.Pros- Came in essentially perfect condition appearance wise, no scratches or damage.I personally like the size, not too small not too big.Cons- Battery life is terrible, I have to charge it a few times a day. When I got it the maximum capacity was at either 84-86%, now it’s at 80%. Camera isn’t that great, photos look dull like there’s no color saturation. Laggy at times with loading, whether I switch between WiFi or phone service it’s the same. Storage isn’t great either at only 64GB.All in all it’s probably a good starter iPhone for a child but as an adult it’s lacking in some areas.

Compré el teléfono con Buyspry y muy satisfecho en general. La calidad se vendía como excelente y más allá de pequeñas marcas de uso en los laterales. La parte frontal viene con una mica que cubre la planta que no pude revisar. La parte de atrás del teléfono impecable.Venía con 84% de batería lo cual es aceptable. Aunque por ser tan pequeño y con la degradación de la misma no lo recomendaría para alguien que lo quiera usar un día completo sin cargar.Vendedor recomendado para iPhone (ya he comprado 3 con este y todos bien).

Although we ordered 2 renewed iPhone 12 minis, my wife seems to have gotten a good one, and I may have gotten the lemon!After a couple weeks, my camera began to act up and take blurry pictures, accompanied by electric buzzing sounds.When I took the 12 mini in to Apple, they put in a new camera ($200.00 Cdn) but revealed that the iPhone had been serviced by someplace other than Apple, and the battery in the phone was not installed correctly, and is glued in place!So although everything is working great now thanks to Apple, I’ll never be able to get the battery updated.I suppose it would be hard for Amazon renewal to know all that, unless they actually disassembled the device.After all this, I am delighted with my iPhone12 mini, and my wife’s continues to work just fine. Not sure what I would recommend to people considering a renewed iPhone, other than to relate this experience.

Bien solo que la batería creo que no dura mucho, trae 85%
