    This phone is really nice. I thought it wouldn’t be as good as it is, but it still compares to my 13 pro. The camera is really nice. It’s got a really good camera quality. The phone is really really nice.

    Not unlocked as advertised

    Bought an unlocked iPhone (no designated carrier) but was not unlocked. Realized this in early Dec (after return window closed) when trying to set up with Mint Mobile. Spent about 12 hours on the phone with Best Buy and Mint. Best Buy customer service rep in store admitted it was a mistake for it to be posted online and not my fault. I was able to receive full return amount on a Best Buy gift card to use at a later date. Went to the iPhone same day and bought a truly unlocked phone. Takeaway: when you purchase an "unlocked" phone, make sure it is truly unlocked ASAP as they only give you a very short time to return if issues.

    This refurbished phone was not in "good" condition, battery barely holds a charge, has difficulty connecting to service and is not returnable. The worst refurbished phone I've purchased, use another provider

    Slow, freezes, pretty much won’t work at all at this point and I’ve only had it for a week.. as the new iPhones come out the older ones can’t support the items when you transfer back.

    Phone had 80 percent battery life. Best buy used and open box products are mostly a scam. They hardly have good deals and total membership is mostly useless.

    Once I bought the iPhone and brought it home, when I went to go set it up, it wouldn't transfer any of my data and started to overheat really bad to where I wasn't able to hold it anymore, i didn't feel safe having it on and I brought it back and got my money back.
