    Smaller than I thought, and I miss having a home button, But it performs very well, and has excellent battery life. All in all a good little phone. This was a better deal than the unlocked Iphone 6s I got from Best Buy ages ago, which suffered from volume problems.

    My phone was as described - arrived timely and I am happy. I’ve bought every phone for last 15 years at Best Buy! This time the iPhone XS. Great value if you don’t mind not having the latest but something close to it. Same size as X / pro 11 , Good camera, and vibrant Netflix.

    The phone was better than expected for a refurbished phone. I got the phone for my 89 year old father-in-law and he loves it easy to use and easy to read.
