Apple iPhone 12 mini, 64GB, Green - (Renewed)

The size of this phone is definitely a departure from my previous iPhone SE, offering a truly world away experience in terms of features and functionality. Its screen, while not as big as some other phones I've used, has a comfortable bezel that takes some getting used to - the cameras are fantastic, with face ID being incredibly quick to unlock the phone already before you even pick it up. The battery life is unfortunately lacking, draining away quickly under my eyes with light use. Despite this, I've had to charge it constantly just to make it through the day.

I'm extremely impressed with how clean everything looks on this phone - from the screen and camera lens to the back of the device itself. There are a few minor cosmetic imperfections here that could be easily polished up for better presentation, such as some chips around the lens cutout and charging slot. However, I wouldn't worry about these at all, they're simply cosmetic.

The other notable feature on this phone is its battery life - it's truly terrible unfortunately, draining away quickly even with moderate use. This might be due to a third-party battery that doesn't quite live up to the original quality. Either way, you can expect it to run out of power in just a few hours, which is frustrating.

Overall, while I was initially skeptical about buying a refurbished phone from this seller, I'm glad I gave them another chance. This device has been great value for money and has exceeded my expectations - the screen, camera lens, and back of the phone are all spotless, with only minor cosmetic imperfections here that can be easily fixed up.

A fantastic first impression - spotless condition, apple battery renewed and at 100%. The Face ID didn't cooperate, but supplier offered help which hasn't really bothered me, as now the battery has already dropped to 88% despite having all-round case.

The glass back was cracked in spite of the metal frame's supposed increased strength. I'm finding it hard to get excited about this iPhone generation, as its so far just another phone with an overhyped design that doesn't quite live up to its promises.

My son was really excited when I picked out this phone for him, he's been eyeing an iPhone for a while and I thought it would be a great gift.

We were pleased to find that everything worked as it should - no issues with connectivity or functionality whatsoever, which is always a plus when you're buying a second-hand device like this.

I was surprised to see how well the phone performed, considering its age. The battery life is impressive and it's not slow at all, which I knew would be a relief for my son who tends to drain his phone quickly.

The quality of the phone is at a good standard for a used iPhone - everything looks and feels like new, but with some normal wear and tear that comes with regular use. We're happy to report that we didn't need to buy more storage in this model, which is always something I try to avoid when buying used devices.

Overall, our experience with this phone has been very positive, considering its age and price point. We're all really happy with the purchase!
