    the phone came in funny packaging but when i opened it was indeed an iphone 12. i got the red one with 256gb. the battery health was actually kinda nice i'd say, it was at 86. it had about 2 minor scratches on the screen & back glass but arent noticable when the phone is on or off, only visible with flashlight. it had some paint scraped a little off around the aluminum but besides that, everything is perfectttt.

    The phone is excellent and the transition from an iPhone 7 to the 12 was way smoother than other iphone upgrades I have done in the past.I lost nothing and did not even have to use a computer. The Best Buy purchase experience was also very good

    For a used iPhone 12 you really can't tell it's used I can see two small light scuffs but in a case you wouldn't know the storage is awesome I've had no hardware issues with the device and it arrived on time when it was ordered my only issue is the battery life is not that great but that's on me it did come with a new battery when I got it

    The phone operates well and was in excellent condition. I had no issues installing my SIM to get service going. My only issue was the charging cable and plug provided were faulty so it wouldn’t charge and it also overheated easily.

    Bought for my daughter she seems to like it everything has worked ok on it so far. Battery is good I think it works well. I gave a 4 start because I do not like how light it is like it’s made of nothing.

    Speaker was busted. I had to trade my gf old phone as well too and it ended up being a bad gift. I just traded the phone from Best Buy to the Apple Store and just bought her a new one. Lost $300 in the process, and I didn’t get any compensation.

    The refurbing obviously didn’t work and wasn’t tested before it was sold. No refunds after 10 days and it was a Christmas gift so it was not even activated by then. No help in store. They want to charge almost $300 to fix the broken phone they sold to me.

    Would give zero stars if possible. Purchased iPhone 12. Best buy sales associate did not include my apartment number. Then UPS corrected the mistake and added apartment number. Then UPS notified me package was delivered. Ring camera shows UPS walking pass my apartment without making a delivery. UPS delivery photo shows blacked out screen. Because I have Best Buy warranty, its supposedly going to be replaced. But now daughter doesn't get Christmas present till sometime in January, Best Buy gets the credit for this because if the sales associate would have done his job correctly, then UPS would be the only one to blame. Very dissappointed.....
