Apple iPhone 12, 64GB, Blue (Renewed)

I was a bit skeptical about upgrading from my trusty old iPhone 8, but this new iPhone 12 has been a game-changer. I received it in excellent condition and was blown away by how similar it looked to my old phone - basically, it was like switching phones altogether.

The only real difference was the edge chips on the back of the device, which are barely noticeable at all from where I'm standing. The screen is in pristine condition, and everything works as it should. Battery life could use a bit more juice, but that's not stopping me from getting plenty of bang for my buck.

To be honest, I was worried about how long this would last - the battery is only running at 76% - but so far, no problems whatsoever. It feels like an absolute gem, and I've already started to see its potential.

The refurbished smartphone arrived with some cosmetic damage that didn't affect its performance - scratches on all sides made for a slightly rough build. Despite this, I was pleased to find the camera still producing decent results and the screen looked great, with minimal signs of wear or tear. Overall, the phone handles well, despite having experienced lag issues in the past that were exacerbated by the iPhone 11's poor performance, which it now outperforms. The speaker is also much improved, providing a clear and crisp audio experience.

The battery feels loose within my grasp, and I'm convinced that when I shake the device, some of its innards are audible. The phone's battery settings confirm this, with the iPhone stating "unable to verify if this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery." For my part, it works just fine - fast and functional enough for my everyday needs.

I've taken a closer look at the internal components, and while I don't have an in-depth understanding of electronics, I can tell you that there are indeed some tiny defects on the housing. I've found three chips here - no idea what they're used for or whether they'll cause any issues. On the other hand, my screen is exceptionally responsive, which helps keep me up to date with the latest iPhone developments.

Despite these minor flaws and visible cosmetic imperfections - there are only a handful of scratches, if you ask me - I've grown quite fond of this phone. It's doing its job just as well as any newer model on the market, and that's what really matters to me. Overall, I think it's worth considering for anyone looking for a reliable device in their budget.
