    everything is awesome EXCEPT the battery life. it was at 79% capacity the minute that i bought it and im pretty peeved that ill have to spend almost $100 to get it replaced when it was supposedly "rigorously tested". its not the end of the world and it was a cheap phone that's in otherwise great condition. hopefully i get a good 3-5 years out of it once i replace the battery.

    I purchased the pre-owned iPhone 13 (128GB, Midnight) and it exceeded my expectations. The phone looks almost brand new—no scratches, no dents, and the screen is crystal clear. Performance is smooth and fast, with 5G connectivity working perfectly. The battery health is still strong, and Face ID and camera quality are just like new. I appreciate the value for money compared to buying brand new, and the unlocked feature gives me flexibility with carriers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable iPhone at a great price.

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPhone 13 from Best Buy, and overall, I’m pretty happy with it. The phone arrived in excellent physical condition—no noticeable scratches, no dents, and it looked almost brand new right out of the box. Performance-wise, it runs smoothly, apps load quickly, and the camera quality is just as good as I expected. The only downside is the battery life. It’s okay—not terrible, but definitely not as strong as a brand-new device.

    A Life-Saver!

    My need was sudden… The iPhone 8-Plus I had used for the better part of 10 years was my core lifeline of my personal and professional scheduling, finances and communications. It was during a business trip that notices from vital apps arrived say that they would no longer be able to communicate with my aged IOS. A deadline of May 31, 2026 was given, after which the apps would cease to work. Best Buy was great. The gentleman who assisted me asked questions about what I felt I needed, and suggested the iPhone 13 5G 128GB. In just under an hour all the data was transferred from my 8-Plus to the 13, and I was back in business. Best Buy also had exactly the right sized protective OtterBox cover, a brand I have grown to trust. This ‘Pre-Owned’ iPhone 13 has been a dream to use, and the learning curve of transitioning to a newer ’thumb technique' of accessing and working with files has been a breeze. So, several years from now when my ‘new’ iPhone 13 maxes out, I’m certain I will be returning to Bust Buy for another pre-owned upgrade. I couldn’t be more pleased! Thanks for this opportunity to tell the world.

    The iPhone 13 is fast, reliable, and still feels modern. The camera takes sharp photos, the OLED screen looks great, and the battery easily lasts all day. It handles apps, streaming, and gaming smoothly. Overall, it’s a strong, affordable choice that offers premium performance without the latest-model price.

    I’ve been using this iPhone for a few weeks now and I’m very impressed with its performance. The camera takes amazing photos, the battery lasts all day even with heavy use, and the display is bright and colorful. It feels fast and smooth in everything I do, from apps to gaming. Definitely worth the price, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and elegant phone.
