iPhone 12, 64GB, Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

For starters; the price on these phones is great. Between having the reassurance of Amazon buyer protection, and the benefit of knowing the device has been tested for performance, it’s well worth it. I needed a new phone fast after my cat knocked mine into the sink ☹️ Rice fixed it for a while, but it was only temporary before it died altogether. I hate buying phones and avoid it whenever possible. 99% of mine belonged to someone in my family first. And i was good with that. Needless to say, my cat didn’t wait for someone in my family to upgrade. I was on my own this time. Okay.... that’s not entirely true. My grandma had an iPhone 7 sitting around so that held me over in the meantime. Going from an iPhone 11 Pro Max to an iPhone 7 was….bad. It was too dam small, in every possible way. 32 gigs of memory!! I needed an upgrade. Fast. My 11 year old was bullying me relentlessly. And that’s on me. They had my old XR (formerly my dad’s) I scoured FB marketplace. I’d decided upgrade a little, so I could feel better about the switch. I didn’t want to feel backed me into a corner by my cat’s recklessness. I would get a slightly newer model in a fun colour. Marketplace had plenty. Sending message after message from my iPhone 7, I worried. “This person seems too eager”, “this one has been posted so long”, “I want a purple, but the only purple one listed has less storage space” and “the pretty green one has a small crack”, “this guy lives 2 hours from me” and “Battery life? Errr last time I checked it was like 74%?….no, I can’t take a screenshot of it, it’s turned off”…. “cash only please” Etc. So much pressure. What happens if the thing doesn’t work? That’s $300+ down the drain. I knew I couldn’t afford new. But I hated the idea of buying something used from a stranger on Facebook. I didn’t want to get scammed, and I also didn’t want to settle. That’s when I remembered good ol’ Amazon. Maybe I’d check there. Just for funsies. Probably out of my budget, but it couldn’t hurt. Sure enough, refurbished devices selling “like new!” Mostly same cost or less than what I’d found so far. Surely there was a catch? I read through everything, tested by Amazon, includes all the specs, unlocked, I can pick the colour, the storage size, the condition, etc. AND I could have it delivered to me tomorrow??! With a warranty?!! I recovered from my brief stint of disappointment after learning the 12’s don’t come in yellow. Then fought hard to decide between mint and lavender. The lavender would take an extra day to arrive. Mint it was!! As promised, it arrived the next day. It was in beautiful shape. 128g’s, mint green, not a single scratch, 86% battery life. All for less than I would have paid to some stranger for a 64g with some “small scratches” Once my case and screen protector arrived I excitedly set it up and synced my data. Oh no. The FACE ID DIDNT WORK 😭 After becoming used to facial recognition, having that yanked away, and dealing with a 7 for over 2 weeks— I was desperate for the convenience of Face ID. I had been using my fingerprint. Like a *caveman*. Not to mention I have Blink 182 tickets, and it specifically states facial recognition is required to access the mobile tickets. Idk if that’s true, but I needed Face ID!! I googled, I contacted apple support. Fixing it could be upwards of $300. That’s almost what I paid for the whole phone!! I realllllly didn’t want to be stuck without a phone again. But I also wanted one fully functioning. So I reached out to Amazon support and explained. The rep was incredibly helpful (as most Amazon reps are) and after bts failed, she advised the ship was a 3rd party seller, and she send a message to them. “If they don’t fix it by (insert date) contact us back and we’ll make this right” she encouraged. I’m ngl. I was nervous. I didn’t have high hopes, having dealt with 3p sellers on Amazon in the past. At least Amazon had my back, ig. The concert wasn’t till July. Even without facial recognition, it was loads better than the 7. I could make do in the meantime. The seller came in clutch though, and my worry was unwarranted. They responded within minutes. They were receptive, apologetic, and more than willing to help. As I’d anticipated, they offered a refund or exchange, as soon as they received the return. I explained my concern with not having a phone for several days or more; and the merchant offered to overnight a replacement as soon as the return was dropped off. I could deal with one day without a phone! I gratefully accepted. That was Saturday night, we made plans to catch up Monday for the return instructions and for them to overnight it. Monday I reached back out; and they were ready to ship, BUT they *had no more green….* 🫢 SHOCK “…do you have purple” No. :( just blue, white, and black. THIS WAS A HUGE BUMMER.It’s silly I know, and the definition of *first world problems “.. but I mean…. My change of heart about this whole phone thing HINGED ON THE FUN COLOUR. Without it, I was just a person…out $350… because my cat was thirsty while I was watching YouTube while washing dishes. I needed a cool colour. Plus, I’d already gotten the matching case! Clear with mint green borders. It wasn’t even a fun blue… it was a dark, serious, navy blue. It was pretty and classy, but I wanted something fun. I even asked if he had any older models in yellow 😭😭 no luck, They told me they’d be restocking in a day or so. Still, no greens or purples came in. Ugh. Reality was setting in. I was going to have to settle. It was fine, I thought. At least it would be a fully functioning phone. No. I wasn’t ready to let go. They assured me I could take my time to decide, and I asked if we could wait another week in case one came in. If it didn’t, *then* I would choose from the options available. I messaged them Wednesday afternoon, bracing myself for the answer…. THEY GOT IN PURPLE! YAY. They sent a label, I dropped it off, sent a photo, and had my new phone the next morning. they’d said overnight shipping… but wow! I’d dropped off the return around 3pm, and had the replacement by noon the next day. I didn’t even have my new case yet 😅 Despite the Barney-Esque colour scheme my mint green case created, the lavender is GORGEOUS and I’m actually sort of glad the green didn’t work out. Don’t get me wrong, the green is also gorgeous.. but in the end I’m glad I ended up with the lavender. I was overjoyed when I was prompted to set Face ID during setup. Worked brilliantly, as did everything else. Great packaging, no cosmetic flaws, amazing battery life, customer service was great, and best of all… ITS PURPLE! Can’t wait to pair it with the new case. I’m so glad I went this route where I have some peace of mind as a buyer. I’m grateful to the seller for being so helpful and patient with me as insufferable as I must have seemed making such a fuss over colour preference If you’re nervous buying a phone used or refurbished too, hopefully you can take comfort in knowing- this seller is legit. You receive a good quality product, and, speaking from experience, they’ll gladly help resolve any issues you may run into.

This is my first review from March 2026: I’m very content with my purchase. I bought this phone a month ago today and it has not given me any issues whatsoever, it works like it’s brand new the battery life is still 98% the screen wasn’t scratched, the camera is great, the touch screen, speaker, the over performance is wonderful. It even came with a charging cord and adapter that work effectively too. For its overall durability and the way it exceeded my expectations it’s definitely worth the price. I’m very happy. This is my review as of today July 2026, the phone still works incredible. Granted I actually take care of my phone adding case protection and using a screen protector. Even with working indoors and outdoors and constantly on my phone for work I have not had any issues whatsoever. The camera still works great, my battery life is now 96% still incredibly durable. The phone speaker is fine, the screen is fine no distorted coloring, my charging cord still charges rapidly. My phone still feels like new to me. Still the best purchase I’ve ever made for a refurbished phone.

I had no problems, it took me awhile to write this review because it’s a phone, but after a couple years it’s nice, it’s my iPhone 12 against the world! I only had a small scratch near the plug in and the storage capacity is 64 which is okay but imma get an upgrade. It was truly unlocked as it was stated. I had no problem, my capacity for the battery was on 90 when I first got it but now since I use my phone so much it did decrease

This product is an Apple iPhone 12 with 256 GB of storage, fully unlocked and tested to work seamlessly on both Verizon and T-Mobile/Metro networks. The phone boasts an improved camera system with AI-driven enhancements, capturing stunning 4K video. Compared to my previous iPhone SE, the iPhone 12 delivers noticeably sharper and superior video quality. Although the phone arrived later than expected, I'm pleased with the purchase overall. This is the third phone I've bought through Amazon, and the first one that worked as expected. The first two were not authorized for service in the USA. Based on my experience, I recommend Amazon’s Renewed cell phone program for those looking to reduce waste by recycling and reusing electronics. However, the phone arrived with a few dents and messy adhesive, which took some effort to clean off using rubbing alcohol. Shipping could have been faster, and I experienced a delay of about a week and a half before receiving the phone. I also wish Amazon would disclose the seller associated with your purchase before you buy, as some sellers provide better products than others. Fortunately, this particular seller did a great job renewing the phone. The 256 GB of storage is a huge plus, leaving me with about 64 GB free after setup. It also came with a charger cable, but unfortunately, there was no official product manual, AirPods, or original box included. If you don’t mind waiting and a bit of uncertainty, Amazon’s renewed phones tend to work out well thanks to their generous guarantee and return policy. It would be great, however, if refunds for defective purchases were processed more quickly. Lastly, Siri on this model feels different compared to my iPhone SE, likely because I don’t have the hardware needed to take full advantage of the new Apple Intelligence features on this device. This product meets my expectations and hardware tests thus far. The battery life is good, and I was able to use it for about all day without needing to plug it in.

The phone came on time and was in perfect, like-new condition. No scratches or marks at all in appearance. It was very easy to transfer my data from my old iPhone onto this new phone. It was also easy to transfer my SIM card for my current carrier to my new phone and the transfer was complete. I must say it seems very durable. In waiting for my new phone cover, I had dropped my new iPhone 12 several times without a scratch anywhere. It has taken me some frustrating times to learn the newer functions on the upgrade for me, but with some persistence, I pretty much have it down now after 2-3 weeks. It did not come with a user manual. I went from an iPhone 8 with a button and fingerprint ID to all swiping and Face ID. I should have gotten a phone with more storage (this one has the same 64 GB which forces a lot of data into the cloud) but a little iCloud storage is cheaper for now. Charging is a little slower by cord than my older phone but I don’t yet have a magnetic charger yet, which did not come with the phone. After getting more comfortable with it, I’m very happy I upgraded without having to make monthly payments.

The phone is pretty good. It had very minor scratches and the screen was replaced. It a very cute phone and works well.

everything was perfect looking, the only complaint I have is with the degraded battery, it drains fast and has 76% maximum capacity, I paid for good condition, I don't really buy electronics on here so I don't know if what I paid for was "good" but I'm sorta satisfied with what I got.

Great phone I got it and a week later I dropped it in the hot tub on vacation and I grabbed it right out and dried it off and was playing music and blowing in the holes I was panicking but everything is fine I js hope over time that incident dosent damage it

Me encuentro bastante satisfecho con el producto, llegó en muy buenas condiciones (no se encuentra tallada ni descarapelada la pintura del marco de aluminio del cuerpo ni de las cámaras), se sincroniza perfecto tanto a la red móvil (5G) como a WIFI (5G) además del ecosistema de Apple y no Apple (por medio de Bluetooth); sin mencionar que las bocinas suenan increíble. Puntos que debes considerar según mi experiencia con la compra: - Llegó con el 82% de batería - Tiene pequeños rayones en la pantalla (en el día a día no se notan, pero están ahí) - Mi unidad llegó con un protector de pantalla mal colocado (story time más adelante) - Llegó sucio (como si recién le quitaran alguna funda y sin limpiar ni nada, lo hubieran enviado) - Tuve MUCHISIMA SUERTE ya que mi unidad estéticamente está perfecta (a excepción de la pantalla que mencioné anteriormente) Story time Cuando recién abrí el producto, la parte superior derecha de la pantalla estaba levantada (sobresalía del cuerpo del dispositivo), a lo que mi primera reacción fue "bueno, todo está bien, seguramente reemplazaron la pantalla después de algún golpe y no la instalaron correctamente" porque a pesar de todo, funcionaba muy bien; Al día siguiente, apareció una burbuja en la pantalla (como la que sale cuando no está bien instalada una mica o cristal templado), paniqueado acudí a la ishop más cercana en búsqueda de asesoría; quiero aclarar que a todo esto, ya había comenzado el tramite de la garantía, que muy amablemente de parte de Amazon me aceptaron, ya sólo faltaba empacar el producto y regresarlo; tras este breve contexto, al acudir a la ishop me mostraron que el equipo estaba en perfecto estado, y lo que causaba la burbuja en la pantalla efectivamente era un cristal protector súper mal colocado, al serle retirado el mismo, ya no había burbujas ni pantalla sobresalida ni nada. Cancelé mi devolución, y sigo probando el dispositivo (de momento bastante satisfecho). Subiré actualización tras 80 días de uso. Actualización: Celular funcionando al 100%, sin ningún detalle de ningún tipo

El teléfono venía como nuevo, sin rayones ni marcas de uso ni siquiera en la cámara, venía con 82% de batería, lo cual al parecer no se ha notado mucho. Todo excelente, tenía un poco de preocupación por otros comentarios donde mencionaban sobre esto pero al parecer tuve suerte por que venía en excelente estado

Buena calidad a la fecha después de 3 años aun continúa 3n excelente estado

Excelente equipo en buen estado y funcionando a la Perfeccion

El teléfono llegó en perfectas condiciones. La batería hasta ahora, muy bien.
