Apple iPhone 13 Pro, 1TB, Alpine Green - AT&T (Renewed Premium)

I am very impressed. This is the first time buying a used phone and I was very skeptical, but I was really impressed. The phone was in perfect condition, no scratches and the battery life came at 94%. It is working quite well and I am pleased.

Perfect iPhone. I'm using it as a secondary phone, however, this is and was my favorite iteration of iPhone. I had an iPhone 13 Pro Max which I had traded in for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I hated that phone practically from the moment I got it. I hated it so much I eventually traded it too, and went with an Android device (One Plus). But I still missed my old iPhone 13 Pro Max. I opted for the iPhone 13 Pro this time and I love it to bits, so much so that I'm thinking of taking my main sim card out of my One Plus and putting it into this phone from time to time and just use it as my main driver. The phone came in what looks like BRAND NEW condition. No scratches or dings on the body whatsoever and best of all, 100% battery health. When considering a new phone, I can definitely recommend Amazon Renewed Premium for a great device.

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!

When my phone arrived, I opened it up, and the inside of the box was really dusty and I thought nothing of it, but eventually got to testing features. In the telephoto camera, there is a spot of dust inside the lens, which is supposed to be a closed system, as was confirmed by a look at the forum and consulting with an Apple authorized repair shop(they did not open it up, just confirmed that was the likely culprit). Said repair shop confirmed to me that Amazon had not run a full diagnostic on the phone when they refurbished it, which would have caught the dust, assuming the dust hadn't come from their factory. Note how when the camera is moved, the circled splotch moves, even without anything on the outside of the lens.A defective camera would've been fine, but despite what the page says, Amazon does not actually do replacements on these phones when they send a defective one out, and expects you to return for a refund while making it as hard as possible to actually do so. The problem here comes in the fact that because the price went up, if I return the phone, I'll have to pay an additional $80 and wait a lot more time even as they use a pickup system that doesn't even let me track the package to make sure it actually gets there, with the refund hinging on it getting there rather than being picked up, and waiting potentially a week for UPS to come pick it up means I can't work during that period invoking an additional opportunity cost of several hundred dollars. This leaves the actual most likely solution to a functionally warrantyless phone to be to get a new camera unit installed for about $200.And all this hasn't even gotten into the fact that Amazon had previously charged the wrong card and asked me to purchase this(the second) phone on my main card while I wait for a refund because they can't change the payment method, so Amazon has essentially bilked me for about $2500 between the first(unopened) phone billed to the wrong card, the second phone that's defective, and opportunity cost in addition to still being left in need of a phone.This stinks.

Review for 13 pro “renewed PREMIUM “Phone seems to be totally functional, is cosmetically in great condition, no visible damage. My only complaint is that the battery is not new. I received it with 91% maximum capacity battery health. You actually pay extra for that “premium” condition to receive one above 90%. . You are not told if the phone has any replacement parts or if it has been repaired. I think this should be transparent. I feel at ease because of the generous 1 year window to return or replace. I haven’t read the fine print but I believe outside of physical damage you caused to the phone, you can exchange or return it if any problems arise. I feel like the screen isn’t as responsive and precise to touch and that the speaker is very quiet. My boyfriend has commented to me that he cannot hear me as well when I am using speakerphone to call him since I got the new phone.As far as the model I don’t see a gigantic difference between one and the 11 model. The battery might last slightly longer and the camera has better zoom capabilities. I think that the max brightness of the screen is a little brighter. The price I paid is very comparable and competitive with the big sites that sell refurbished phones. Definitely cheaper than Apple of course but when you buy their refurbished phones you get a new battery and guarantee it has all Apple parts.

Great product. 97% battery health. Running really well.
