Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the good condition, price, unlocked status, 5G connectivity, color options, and overall new look of the pre-owned iPhone 12. They appreciate that it looks and feels almost brand new, and that it works well without any issues. However, customers are negative about the battery life, which they say is weak and drains quickly, as well as the scratches and marks that some of the phones have.

    Love this color. We had no problem activating it through Verizon. So far the battery is holding up very well.

    Probably the best bang for your buck out of all the iPhones. It’s a good size, is fast, and looks nice. I would recommend buying a protection plan.

    Phone was in good physical condition. Better than I thought it would be. One good thing is that you get to inspect the phone in the store before purchasing. Also, the Best Buy employee put on the screen and camera protectors, at no charge.

    This is my first time purchasing a used phone. It is actually in good condition. The only downside is that I cannot purchase extra insurance or geek on the unit. But it does have 1 year with apple care, so I guess its ok. But I'am satisfied with my purchase.

    Bought a pre-owed for my dad as a gift as I was setting it up and everything I didn’t realize speakers did not work , I went back the next day and I was exchanged to a different one but now it came all scratched up and damaged . Worst thing is I was also charged extra from the carrier so ended up wasting more money ! , don’t buy pre owed phones from Best Buy !

    A refurbished phone at a non refurbished price. I am always hesitant to make a purchase on anything that is refurbished and not BNIB. Especially electronics. So i went ahead and made the purchase of a refurbished i phone 12 . I thought it would be the same , if not , just a difference i wouldnt even be able to notice. Instead, i find myself saying , “where did all my battery go” just about every day , if not twice a day. And othrr little instances that i feel wouldn’t happen had i not purchased “refurbished” . Maybe I’m wrong , but either way this i phone has battery issues and i am going to stick to my policy from now on. Especially when there is very little of a price difference to start with. Its my fault for not being patient but the phone still sucks none the less.

    I have to say I was pretty skeptical about purchasing a preowned iPhone but Best Buy came through and delivered exactly what was advertised and the phones condition is great. It looks brand new. I am very happy with my purchase..
