The refurbished “excellent” rating is misleading. With that rating I would expect the battery health to be at least above 80%. The physical condition of the phone was acceptable with only micro scratches on the screen and one little scratch on the back glass, but the battery health was 72% which I would not give an “excellent” rating for. At that percentage, the phone is usable but dies very quickly, and is very slow and laggy, especially with the iOS 26 update. If you are considering buying this for your main phone, just be prepared to spend the 80 dollars on top of this price to get the battery replaced if you want the phone to last another couple years. Otherwise, the camera quality is still stands up in 2026, and it is a beautiful phone.
