This 12 mini looked like brand new when received and it came in a few days! I didn't see any scratches or dents at all. The seller I used was OM-Wireless. I have used this phone for 16 months and the battery capacity is still at 100%, its a very fast interface, and I haven't had an issues with it. The camera woks just fine and has been too. I came from having only 64 GB so this upgrade felt quite larger and definitely worth the extra cost (given I took photos while traveling internationally so much). RefurbLane was easy service to use (I didnt have specific issues) and very clear as to what your buying. The size of the phone is perfect for someone with smaller hands as it doesn't feel too big (or too small) in my hands and my height is 5ft 2in. I will say I full cracked the backglass and camera glass 15 months ago and its still worked just fine (haven't gotten in fixed yet). Even though this phone came locked to Verizon, it unlocked within 6 months of owning (maybe less since I didn't check earlier) and I was able to use this phone traveling internationally and using different carriers (using physical sim cards). I tried using an eSim prepaid plan but it did not work so I'm hesitant to try again if its eSim compatible. I would highly recommend this phone especially since Verizon unlocks the phone a few months later. However, if you think you want to switch carriers I suggest just buying an unlocked phone as to not deal with the hassle. And the red color is closer to a coral color.

This is my first RefurbLane purchase. I was most worried that a refurbished iPhone would have poor battery health, but when I checked it was at 99%. No noticeable scratches or anything. It came with the correct charging cord and shipping was exactly as communicated.

I purchased a phone in good condition. The phone came in excellent packaging - tightly fitted into a small box, wrapped in bubble wrap - and the phone I received was in excellent condition. Just one minor scratch at the top, and the screen is in perfect condition. The battery health was 92% when I turned it on, so I wonder at what battery health level they replace and provide a new battery as part of the refurbished phone. That's the only (small) complaint I have.

I loved my old iPhone 6s but finally had to update. I researched and decided I wanted another small iPhone. I got the 12 mini. I love it! Battery was 98% and it works great! The whole process was great w RefurbLane.

So far, so good. I purchased this for my daughter's 13th birthday and she loves it. We've only had it for a few weeks but no problems and prayerfully there won't be any. The battery doesn't last as long as I expected but that could be a teenager thing.
