Just broke my 2nd 13 mini green and insurance can’t decide between buying a refurbished 13 mini or future proofing myself and just getting a 16 I wish a 16 mini was on its way
@@kennumar oh well, the newer models aren't even worth the upgrade anyways. I've been using iOS 18 for months on my 13 mini; not missing much and still works great.
@@Trevor274 they're busy focused on making bigger & bezel less screens & not mini's. I'd switch from my Android to an iPhone mini so fast if they'd dropped one this month but oh well time to let that dream go
I bought a 13 mini last week from this same seller, in green, in very good condition. It came in the mail yesterday with minimal signs of use and 100% battery health! Thanks for putting me on this seller! I’ve been checking their stuff out for months but never bought anything until I saw your video.
I bought a 15 pro for $800, when it arrived it had only been charged once. First used was in April. I bought it in May. I have AppleCare plus on it that was still available, battery was at 100%. The only trade-off is it has some scratches on the screen like the glass. Not cracks or dents just scratches. I put a screen protector on it, I can’t even tell. Buying used or refurbished is worth it, there might be a few trade-offs though for the price but I think that’s OK.
@@hartomethod Amazon, but the seller wasn’t Amazon renewed it was a business selling through Amazon. I’ve bought refurbished phones from Back Market, but I have the best luck from Amazon.
I got a brand new white one 5 months ago. I love how lightweight, easy and comfortable to use and carry this thing is. More than enough screen size for me. I do anything in it, since reading, watching, editing photos and GoPro videos… this thing handles anything without suffering. I hope Apple releases a new model with a telephoto instead of an ultra-wide anytime soon.
@@hartomethod yeah I thought the battery life would be too small for my use. I ended up buying a iPhone 15 pro 512gb It works great! And isn’t too big in the hands, about the same size or smaller/lighter than my XR
Just did exactly this but with a totally clear case and in teal not green. Haven’t received it yet but might replace battery as soon as I get it, depending on current battery capacity, so that it’s basically brand new.
Almost bought a 13 mini. Went ahead and bought an SE 3rd gen because it has a 14 processor. Maybe I’ll get a 16 a few months after it comes out or get a new S25 or ZFold
@@GoldWristXno it isn’t, I got an Samsung galaxy s8 from eBay. It was good. It was brand new, these phones are somehow legitimate. I am also getting this phone from the same seller in a bunch of days. I bought a used phone from eBay and it works perfectly fine.
I just got mine for Amazon 13 mini for 350. The first they sent me one with a non Apple battery and when I went to the Apple store it had other issues like cellular connection. Had to send it back and they send me another one with 100% battery and everything good according to Apple store. Love the mini phones♥️
I ordered an iphone 13 mini refurbished as well, but on Amazon. The only scratches i noticed were on the back of the iPhone so it wasnt a big deal since a case would cover it anyway. Battery life was at 85% which blows a lil bit but down the road ill get it replaced when it goes under 80%. Tbh its my fav iPhone since im not too much of a fan of bigger phones. Hoping to use this phone as long as possible
Very encouraging. I wanna have a good phone for myself but currently my mom's phone has a black screen on major parts of it😭💔. If only I could get one refurbished iphone it can help her lots. On God I will buy her one🙏 Amen
