Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent condition and compact size of the pre-owned iPhone 12 Mini. Many appreciate the quality of the camera and find the price reasonable. However, some users report that the battery life could be improved, and a few have noted minor screen responsiveness issues. Overall, the positive feedback on condition, size, and camera quality outweighs the concerns about battery and screen.

    I searched through hundreds of phones, then I stumbled on Best Buys iPhone pre-owned phones list. I reviewed several iPhones until I found just the right one. When it arrived, it looked and functioned perfectly. There are no new iPhone 12 Minis available, nevertheless, that is exactly what I wanted. It was well worth the effort searching for the particular smartphone, that I wanted. I'm well pleased with the phone and the service. Henceforth, Best Buy will be the first place I start looking from now on.

    I love Best Buy, but the packaging for my phone was a flop before I even opened my phone I could tell it went through the ringer and was going to be surprised if the screen was still in-tacked the box has a huge corner completely smashed in I couldn’t believe there was even a phone in it just on first sight of how banged up the box was, I opened it up and it was shifting around in the box with several really deep scratches on every edge of the phone I’m so sad and really wish there is something I can do about the screen because I believe it happened through transport and people just throwing packages but if better packed with at least bubble wrap it would have saved the screen

    I had to go to the store to order my pre-owned iPhone after a few attempts to order it online. Amazon is a lot easier to deal with. The iPhone looks good, but the letter “p” needs a few clicks before being accepted. The battery life was 69%. I thought it would be at least 80% considering the price.
