    What a deal I got on my iPhone 12 Pro Max!
    Whenever I buy previously used devices, I wait a bit before leaving a review. But I can't even wait for this one! I am so pleased.I placed my order July 4th and got the phone just 4 days later. They shipped FAST!I ordered RENEWED (not Renewed PREMIUM) and I was second guessing myself while awaiting delivery. I worried about the battery health. I was so pleasantly surprised when I checked and saw that it was at 88% health. That is not bad at all. I am more than glad to have the battery replaced eventually when needed considering I saved hundreds of dollars buying a previously used phone AND also sold my old iPhone 8 Plus on eBay. It's only $89 for Apple to replace the battery which is, to me, a good deal considering how many years they last.I'm not bothering to share any photos of the phone itself because there are plenty of those in other reviews here. The phone is virtually flawless. A few very minor scratches around the edges, but I don't care about that. It's covered by the Otterbox case I have it in.Another note is that it was delivered with a tempered glass screen protector already installed. I replaced it with a new one, but it just goes to show they think of everything. They could have removed it but it was a little extra protection while it was in transit.I've been doing my best (and will continue) to try every single feature of the phone before the warranty is up to make sure I don't have any surprises down the road, but I am confident this is going to be my 'new' baby for the next 3 to 4 years. That's about how long I keep a phone before upgrading. I honestly would have kept my old iPhone 8 Plus if not for the fact that I couldn't get iOS 17 on it and I loved the new features of the operating system upgrade. I also wanted a better camera. The sound quality is excellent. the touch screen is completely responsive and I LOVE the beautiful blue color.I implore you to take a chance on renewed/refurbished devices. I have been buying 'like new' devices for decades now and I am rarely disappointed. Any minor aggravations I've encountered have been generously offset by the money I've saved. I always stay a few models behind the newest to get the most savings.Oh! One more thing. If you Google it, many complain of how long it takes the iPhone 12 models to charge. I had the same complaint initially but I just stopped using my convenient bedside USB hub and started using the Anker 60W PIQ wall charger I keep in my living room. That DRAMATICALLY decreased the time it takes to charge. I bought a super long cord here on Amazon so I can charge from a distance and that's all it took. The Anker 60W PIQ charger (also here on Amazon) is lightning fast compared to standard chargers.

    This Amazon renewed IPhone 12 is perfect. Up and working quickly with backup from iCloud as I couldn’t open my drowned one. No signs of use, top battery endurance, dropped it already on tile floor: unhurt. Performs better than the one I bought new, both mic and battery. Also bought a an ipad mini a couple of months ago. Top quality and performance. Not likely I’ll ever buy a new one again.

    I don't normally trust buying anything "renewed" or "used" but for the price and the return policy that Amazon has it was a pretty good experience. I bought one as it claims it was in "excellent condition" and when I received it, it was in pretty good condition. It included a standard iPhone USB cable and as for the phone quality, it did come with couple scuffs around the side of the phone but at least it was not inn the front of the screen where it truly mattered for me.

    UPDATE: I bought the premium renewed iphone for their one YEAR satisfaction GUARANTEE with free returns and a complete refund for any reason. I bought this in May of 2022 for $900 and returned this in December 2022 However after 3 weeks of waiting I finally got my refund for $794. After hours of being juggled between representatives I was finally told that there is a 100 dollar restocking fee despite no where anywhere was it explained that there would be a restocking fee. Amazon representatives on multiple times lied to me and refused to help resolve the situation the last person I spoke to Danica A in the Philippines claimed over our 40 mintue conversation that she was the head of Amazon worldwide customer service yet also saying that she had a supervisor but refused to connect me to them because they were not equipped to handle customer service issues....do you realize how insane that is she refused to give me any information that would allow me to report her to Amazon corporate office except her first name and last initial which was most likely a lie. I paid an extra 100 dollar (apprx) for the premium renewed plan but no one I spoke to even knew what that was. I cannot emphasize highly enough that you should avoid this at all cost because they will 100% screw you over bewhare do not do this do not buy this I can't emphatically explain to you enough why you need to avoid this. Unfortunately Amazons gotten so big and taken over so much of the market share that no one can compete with their prices so if I want a phone at a reasonable price I have to buy it from them. I've been a loyal customer for years and spent thousands of dollars of my money on them If I could never buy from them again I never would. That is how much they have damaged the customer loyalty bond. Just PLEASE BEWHARE what you risk if you go ahead and purchase something from them lies, deceit, manipulation, terrible service, financial loss, and hours of lost time being juggled between representatives.

    So this is my first experience with Amazon's renewed premium program where you pay between $50-$100 more than the renewed price but for that you get an item whose battery is at least at 90% capacity relative to a new one and instead of a 90 day warranty you get a year warranty and a year to return the item. For less than $100 I thought that was definitely worth it. However the first iPhone 12 pro they sent me had a battery that was at 85% capacity which really pissed me off because I felt cheated so I returned it and purchased it again and I'm glad I did because the 2nd ones battery was at 100% capacity and for all intents and purposes it was a brand new phone at a used price. Granted it's still really expensive it was $900 before tax but I got this to be future proof at least for the next several years. This is my first iPhone before I was all android phones but it seemed like every year I was having to buy another phone because something out of my control always happened but my parents still had their iPhone 8 that they bought new and it was still working perfectly. I haven't had this phone for more than a few days but so far I'm very impressed with it. The facial recognition capabilities are so good. My phone can recognize me when I'm in a dark room whereas my Samsung tablet can't recognize my face without all the lights on. One feature this phone doesn't have that really surprised me was that there is no built in fingerprint scanner and I think that was a mistake on apple's part. The battery is supposed to only last 21 hours but a full charge is lasting me a little over 2 days. The screen is gorgeous is it HDR Dolby Vision and HLG compatible and not even my 4k tv supports all of those so it makes streaming look brilliant. You can see every detail even though the screen is 6.7inches. it seems like everyday I'm finding out a new function that this phone has granted a lot them I'll never use because I don't use my phone that way but it's cool to know that if I wanted to I could if I so choosed. I guess I'll stop my review here because you get the gist and I hate it when people on Amazon beat a dead horse and I don't want to be one of those so Amazon renewed premium is a worthwhile program and the iPhone 12 pro max is an awesome phone that's worth the investment.

    This phone is absolutely beautiful! I ordered the 12 pro max 128gb in gold because the blue had just sold out and to be honest this one had gone on sale.. 😅 I was nervous about getting a “renewed” phone because I hate the quality of aftermarket screens but it looks like this phone was in a case its whole life thanks to the previous owner! There are no scuffs on the bezel I didn’t see any heavy scuffs or serious scratches on the back (I immediately put it in a clear case) the front had maybe one or two scratches but that’s if I was being super picky this 4 year old phone was definitely treated right! The battery life was at 91 when it arrived I’ll take that!
    My only issue was the ear speaker was absolutely packed with what I assume earwax 🤮 and honestly that’s ok I’m happy to know this phone has never been taken apart

    My iPhone 12 Pro Max of 3 years met an unfortunate end the other day when it flew out of its holder while running into the road at an intersection, then got run over. Of all things, the *back glass* was shattered. As it turns out this is the worst glass to break.

    There was nothing wrong with this phone after 3 years, and I couldn't stomach $1700 for a top of the line iPhone 15. So here I am.

    I opted for the "Renewed Premium" version. I was already facing $499 in repairs from Apple, and all they were going to do was chisel the old glass off my phone, do some surgery, and affix a new back. I just didn't feel like that was a great value.

    The phone I received was basically flawless. No scratches anywhere. 100% battery. All for $650, and I was able to trade my busted iPhone in for $125 (at least it's something).

    You cannot buy Apple+ care as you can if you buy a refurbished phone from Apple, but to get this from Apple will run you $850, not including the Apple+ plan. At that level you're creeping closer to asking yourself why you aren't just upgrading.

    What you do get with the Renewed Premium version is 1 year to return the product, vs. 90 days for regular Renewed. They caution against abuse and I don't see myself using it, but it gives me peace of mind.

    So I am finally making a review for it. It works well it came unlocked with a 90% battery life. It does what I need it to do, the pictures come out great and I really do enjoy it. But with in a year of having it the battery went from 90% to 75% and I am going to have to replace the battery which is fine it’s cheaper than buying a new phone.

    The iPhone 12 Pro I received is clearly brand new. And the battery tests apps I ran on it indicated the battery is in perfect health. The unit seems to have come preprogrammed to say 85% max under health which was odd. It is clearly better than that. Phone works perfectly. A new iPhone for the cost of a refurb. I did buy the excellent condition version.
