Buying an iPhone from Amazon Renewed | A Review
Ғылым және технология
Is Amazon Renewed worth it? What are the differences from buying brand new from Apple? Surprisingly, there are hardly any downsides - watch the video to learn more.
Also, including a brief note about eBay Refurbished!

I have bought 3 refurbished iPhones from Amazon and they have been AMAZING! Even the “good” has looked brand new and none ever had a battery health less than 90%! It’s a no brainer!!!
Amazon renewed Premium is what I went with too. Definitely, a great option if you are planning to upgrade on a budget. Thanks for the video.

I love my 13 Mini! Switched from a 13 pro max. I bought mine from Apple and got the 512 GB version from apple with apple care. Expensive, but as a runner, I do break phones sometimes and need the damage coverage.

Or you could get an Apple Watch and put music on that. 🤷🏻♂️
Do you have a video on the ebay refurbished phone?
I wasn’t even considering Amazon renewed. I like my 14 Pro, but definitely miss my old 12 mini. Was looking into a 13 mini and waiting to see if it would appear in the Apple Refurbished store, didn’t really want to pay $700+ new for it though.

I’ll probably buy it renewed. If it doesn’t work right, I suppose I can just return it.

I just don't think it should be less than a 50% discount, the markup is probably making them more for this phone than they made on the new one.
I’d 100% be using a mini if I hadn’t been offered an unlocked, 256gb 13 pro for 500.. couldn’t pass that up! I do miss having a smaller phone.. hell I’d still use my gen1 se if I could! But I do use my phone constantly for work so I guess the larger screen and battery is nice to have. I’m still super tempted to sell it and get a mini while I still can though lol

Appreciate the review but this is KZread, it’d be better if you show pictures at least of the unit as you received. Otherwise this content may as well just be an article.
I liked the 13 Pro Max in that green but as you know, we can't get it new if we tried from apple so Amazon renewed is the way to go. Was $1,599 financed ($62.62/24mo) or now $1115 ($92.92/12mo) Amazon not bad. I normally buy new direct from Apple if new release. I'm open to used iPhone if fresh battery & you get yrs of life out of them.
do you still get the start up steps like the new?
I found a s21 ultra 128gb for 400£ is that a good deal in excellent condition renewed will the battery health be good q

What happens with the apple warranty? I was given my 1st iPhone last year and it lasted me 14 months then it started turning off/on, went to different places to get it fix and they said it was because it was out of warranty, even appl3 said the same thing... do you know if that would happen with "Renewed" phones from Amazon?

It's really a gamble. You can't buy Apple Care on a used iPhone like that and if they're old enough then they just won't fix it. What kind of iPhone was yours?
seems like u got a bad deal tho bro. You could’ve got it under $500 via a third party seller. Buying a renewed for $650 is not a great deal, at $700 you could get the brand new. You actually didn’t get $235 off cuz the renewed one doesn’t have apple care+. Great video tho.❤🎉 subbed.

How about getting an “open box’ iPhone instead of renewed? Isn’t an ‘open box’ iPhone just a new phone with out the inside wrapping or maybe a ‘return’ ?

Yeah it’s basically a return that someone made. Renewed is a used phone that the company has fixed and repaired for re-sale.

I’ve ordered those before and been disappointed. Most recently ordered a 13 Mini in good condition and had to return it after a day. Had a bad cell modem so it wouldn’t hold a signal, had scratches and scrapes on body, scratches in screen, battery life at 83%, and speaker grilles punched out at the bottom. Overall horrible condition for the price paid.
