Apple iPhone 13 Pro, 128GB, Sierra Blue - Boost Mobile (Renewed)

I have purchased refurb phones from Amazon in the past, but never a “certified renewed”. Note, the QR code for the “Amazon renewed certificate” in the box (see top right of photo) took me to a non-working website, which is a little disconcerting. Bought this renewed premium iPhone13 Pro 256GB after carefully researching various sellers. I selected a couple that I would purchase from, thoroughly checked out the seller’s reviews (Amazon being one of them) and watched for the model, color, and storage capacities I was willing to purchase from a seller with which I was comfortable. When this renewed phone from Amazon (as the seller) came up, I purchased it immediately. I’m very happy with the purchase. Phone quality was excellent. No issues with connectivity, setup, sound quality or charging ability. There were no visible scratches, and the battery shows to be at 99% capacity. It works flawlessly. It came with a non-Apple charging cord, but it seems to work just fine. I did note some kind of glue-type residue around the edges of the camera lenses, which I cleaned off with the moist cleaning wipe that came with the glass screen protector I purchased to fit on the phone. At present, it doesn’t appear to have affected anything operationally. Great value! I’m extremely happy with my purchase and got a trade in credit. I saved a couple hundred off the official manufacturer’s site for a certified refurb phone. Will update if anything changes!

A bit of a story here... last year I bought a refurb'ed, like new iPhone 13 from Amazon... and returned it (and bought one elsewhere, that was much nicer, and less money). This year - being entirely comfortable with the i13 level specs - I decided to upgrade to an i13 Pro... and - because of last year's experience - went elsewhere first. What I got from them this time was definitely not what I ordered (it was supposed to be "pristine"... what I got was scratched up junk). So I came back to Amazon, and ordered the only "used-like new" offering on the i13 Pro "list" that day. What I got, well, wasn't (i.e., wasn't "used-like new"). Again. Sigh. (I have a ton of experience with buying "used-like new" stuff from Amazon over the years, and I know what to expect... and this wasn't it.) But. What I received was a "refurbished-excellent" i13 Pro (the same category as the i13 I ordered last year... which was again, anything but, back then, lol). The category which is is now listed on the order form. (Why would they change the category? When it wasn't what I ordered? -Dunno.) HOWEVER. ... big "however". It was... almost... perfect: a few tiny scratches around the lightning port is all a minute examination found wrong (the previous owner had mostly used mag-charging I imagine). And... the battery health - while entirely within the spec for Amazon refurbished (i.e., "80% or greater") - was still a disappointment at only 84%. Still. Cosmetic-wise... acceptable. More than acceptable, even. Agreeably nice... obviously: as I kept it. (Note: I wouldn't review it if I hadn't kept it.) Note: For long term use of any iPhone, to avoid battery related issues, Apple recommends replacing the battery when its below 80% battery health... which repair cost from Apple is about $90 or so... iow, not a big deal. Look, I'm not the target demographic for a new Apple phone anyways; especially their Pro. So sending the phone in for a new battery, especially for what I paid for the 1TB version, is a-okay. And figured into the price. But - other than battery health... and those few tiny [mostly unnoticeable] scratches - I paid quite a bit less (saved a couple of hundred over the "other guys" offerings) at Amazon for a truly ultra-clean i13 Pro - with 1TB capacity - which is in otherwise almost perfect condition. And while its minor flaws render it most certainly NOT in the "used-like new" category... the savings over market costs for a 1TB version rendered my objections to the category moot: it was more than good enough as "refurbished-like new" lol. While YMMV, well... after all... in the final analysis... this one is a keeper. Thanks Amazon. Just keep in mind: all refurb's are "luck of the draw". Amazon is great about their return policy. Take a chance. You'll save money... maybe a bunch of money. Final word: recommend.

Purchased a "renewed" iPhone 13 Pro described as "Excellent". This was my first purchase of a used device from Amazon, after using another source for several devices. The phone arrived in very good condition. Externally, the condition appears as new. Internally, the battery had 86% battery life. So, far, very pleased with my purchase.

From the start, I raised concerns about the “unverified battery”, and they assured me it would be fine. It wasn’t. The battery died immediately—dropping from 100% to 0% within a few months time When I reached out, they were dismissive and never apologized or took any responsibility. Ok… weird. Whatever. They promised the phone would have an official Apple battery when repaired, but it clearly did not when I got it back after not having it a week. Also suddenly the microphone wasn’t working, and again, they ignored the problem and refused to acknowledge their mistakes just said, “ship it back across the country (ground shipping) again” They claim they didn’t inspect the phone because of a passcode, but never told me to remove the passcode or gave any warning (even though I did try to remove it before just in case on my own, but the phone wouldn’t stay on because of the corrupt battery!!”, Instead, they just shipped the faulty phone back across the country without any communication and after the fact said “oh there was a passcode” like hello?? Shouldn’t you have asked ahead of time or reached out regarding this ?? Flash forward when I returned the phone because I was fed up with all the issues. They accepted the return and then weeks later guess what I still didn’t get a refund. Had to go through Amazon and ultimately ended up filing a credit card dispute because the seller just completely ghosted me and stopped responding. It took over a month to get my money back. A complete nightmare. It’s one thing for things to go wrong. It’s another to treat customers like garbage. As someone who works in customer service, I know the basics: listen, apologize, and fix the problem. This seller did none of that. The whole communication left the worst taste in my mouth. Also, there’s no point getting the Amazon renewed premium phone because Amazon doesn’t honor their policy and you’ll just have to file a credit card dispute. Do not buy from this unprofessional seller. BUY THRU APPLE!!!

Muy bueno, con pila al 100%

Happy so far. About 4 months with the phone. Battery is still at 100%. Arrived like new cosmetically.

This is amazing! I bought it for my brother, looks brand new to me, just a very little scrape on at the back but overall, functioning and looks near. It also comes with a charger and the sim tool, and was packaged in a fair packaging. Battery health is 87% but it’s okay, as long as it’s 80 and above. 😇 I didn’t remove the screen and case protector to check if there were hidden scratches but i used flashlight and it seems fair to me so I’m all good. Hopefully it lives long!

It arrived with scratches on the glass and the back of the body.

El producto es muy bueno, llego con leves rayaduras en la parte del acero, pero la pantalla y las cámaras están impecables , sin ningún rayón, la bateria llego al 88% de capacidad (prometen más del 80% así que si cumplieron) y al parecer todas las partes son originales. Todo lo prometido por le vendedor de cumplió
