Good - The phone works great but it looks like it might’ve been dropped at one point which caused a dent in the lower corner but because I keep mine in case it doesn’t really matter it was a good price

It had a couple blemishes but it wasn’t anything too bad. I bought this for my father who is changing from flip phones to an iPhone. It was in good shape and came with a charging cord.

When my son’s phone died way before upgrade time, we panicked but thankfully I was able to replace it with a used one via Best Buy right away. Phone was good condition, works great, unlocked and compatible with Sprint. Even came with cord which I wasn’t expecting! And came several days before expected! Easy to pick up, great experience.

Serving its purpose.

I was concerned this phone would not work with Verizon. My concerns have been put to rest and the phone worked fine. The Verizon rep did say say because of 5g technology. This phone will not work if it’s ever deactivated. So it looks like the window for these older models is closing. In summary, phone is serving its purpose for my Eleven year old daughter.

Good Apple product and value for the price you pay. Good quality even with used re-furbished product. Well tested product. Small screen size. Otherwise good value

Battery problem

The phone is fast, it worked good on Mint Mobile network (that was the reason for buying it). But unfortunately, the battery was not good. It would die so fast that I had to charge it twice a day. So, I returned it and ordered a new one. I hope that one is good.

I truly think my granddaughter is going to be very happy over this birthday gift. She has been asking for one for her 11th birthday. I also got her a protective case for it.

The phone seems to work fine but the case is pitted and worn and the battery health just 85%. I was hoping for better based on other reviews and given the premium price that Best Buy is asking.

So far so good...since we just received the iPhone last week, we are hoping it lasts awhile. It is reburbished so we are keeping our fingers crossed.
