Having an iPhone 6, that was now struggling to cope, battery life falling off a cliff ( even after replacing it 2 years ago) I felt it was time to upgrade, but not having the funds to stretch to a new iPhone 12, 11 etc. I was wondering how I could afford to do so, then I saw these renewed iPhones for sale! Wow I thought, too good to be true? but took the plunge anyway after many favourable reviews.
It arrived, in a plain white box, with charger, no earphones, (I have my own anyway)
All looked great, no visible marks, I easily transferred my data etc from my old phone without issue, then I came to put a screen protector on, which was when I noticed a small flaw in the glass, very, very small raised mark/flaw/chip, which left a very small bubble bottom right of the screen, virtually unnoticeable, and doesn't impact in any way the daily usage of the phone, and at these prices, doesn't bother me at all! the amount of abuse the phone will get over the years of use, I won't notice anyway.
Battery life seems good, 89% capacity and lasting 2 days normal use.
The phone is a beast though! much bigger than my iPhone 6, with a rugged case on
iPhone XR comes in at: 250g
iPhone 6 :151g
If weight is an issue for you, there iPhone X is virtually identical to the XR but with a more premium build quality, better camera and lighter, but a slightly older processor.
I don't have an issue with the weight, it feels really solid and with a case on, very rugged!, the added waterproofing of the later models is an added bonus (not that I'll be going swimming with it! unless I'm diving for rubber bricks!) after walking & camping through recent stormy weather, it's 1 less thing to worry about.
Overall:
very pleased so far, everything works as described, great price, even the smallest of blemish isn't an issue for me as it will get it's fair share of abuse in the years to come.
