    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!!!

    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.

    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’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

    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.

    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?
