     PROS about my refurbished iPhone XS: The battery health is 100% which is excellent. Also, I picked the gold color and I love it. The charger isn’t the best quality but it does the job. CONS : This is an older iPhone, which means the battery percentage drops like crazy, even with power saving mode on. Overall, I like this phone, very reliable and fast like any other iPhone model.

    Size: 64GBColor: SilverService Provider: UnlockedProduct grade: RenewedVerified Purchase
    I bought this one from cell surfers since I know that refurbished quality can vary by seller. For the most part, it's amazing how well this phone holds up. I got it as a replacement for my 2020 SE that I cracked, since I don't want to do the screen replacement myself and patching that up as a spare and around the house phone made much more sense than having the repair done. Was not impressed with the packaging, but it managed to arrive in pristine condition nonetheless. Really, the only noticeable shortcomings to a new iPhone is in the speaker(But what are you doing listening to music through the phone speaker or anything else, for that matter?), and of course, cell reception because newer radio bands have been put into deployment. But considering this phone would be on my car set up 99% of the time, which has a modern 5G radio, that was not a concern at all. I saved about 800 bucks for something that does the purpose perfectly. It is a very sleek Phone. I like it better than some of Apple's modern designs.

    The phone itself was in excellent condition. No visible scratches or cracks. Also, the functionality of the phone seems very good. Nothing is off as far as I can tell thus far. The reason I rate this a four star purchase instead of a five-star purchase was the battery health was only at 76%. The description clearly stated that the phone was guaranteed to have at least 80% battery health. So I thought that was misleading and the seller should be more truthful about what they are selling. I am deciding to keep the phone mainly because the exterior of the phone was in excellent condition and seems to be working fine thus far.

    I received the phone within 2 days of ordering. The packaging was fine and initially it appeared to be in great condition. However, I checked the battery health on the first day which stated “Important Battery Message: Your battery’s health is significantly degraded.” The Maximum Capacity for the battery was 78%. No problem, I thought, because one of the reason’s I bought from Amazon is that the phone was advertised “to have a battery which exceeds 80% capacity relative to new” and was “Guaranteed by Amazon” to be “eligible for replacement or refund within 90 days of receipt if you are not satisfied. “

    Well clearly, I was not satisfied to receive a phone with a significantly degraded battery. So, I called Amazon Customer service to explain the problem and request a replacement. I did this on the same day I received the phone. The representative was helpful and told me he would send out a replacement immediately, and even upgrade the shipment method for no extra charge. He also told me, both in conversation and in writing to “use the box the replacement comes in to return the original.” That way, I would not be without a phone while waiting for the replacement to arrive.

    The day the replacement was scheduled to arrive and but had not, I called Amazon customer service back to inquire about the status. Much to my surprise, I was told the replacement phone order had been cancelled by the third-party seller because the original had not been returned. This irritated me for two reasons: (1) I had never been notified the replacement order had been cancelled—apparently, had I not called Amazon was simply going to drop the issue, and (2) I was specifically told by Amazon Customer Service that I did not need to return the original until the replacement was received.

    I told the agent this was unacceptable and wanted the replacement sent to me, as had been previously arranged. When it became clear that she would not be able to help me, I asked to speak with her manager. After providing her with my phone number, she said her manager would call me back. That phone call never happened.

    The following day I called Amazon customer service again, now the third time trying to get this issue resolved. I explained the steps I had taken thus far and was put on hold so the representative could verify if my replacement order “was legit.” When I asked what “legit” meant, she said she needed to verify if this was unusual activity on the account because it was a phone purchase. I told her that of course it was legit, as I had email documentation regarding the entire process!

    After being on hold, she came back and told me the replacement phone would be delivered within 5 days. She also said she would personally call me on that day to verify that it was received. I asked her to clarify that I would receive the replacement first, prior to sending the original back, according to the instructions I had previously received via email. She looked up that email and saw it said: “Please feel free to use the box the replacement comes in to return the original…” After reading that she placed me on hold again.

    After a minute or so, she came back on the line and asked if she could place me on hold for an additional few minutes. I asked why. She said she was trying to find out what went wrong with the first replacement order. When she came back on the line, she told me “to be on the safe side” I should return the original defective phone first to receive a replacement. I reiterated that this was unacceptable and that I had held up my end of the bargain and done exactly as Amazon had told me to do. I wanted the replacement sent first before I returned the defective phone. She said the email I received was in error and the person who sent it made a mistake—the defective phone would need to be returned before the replacement is shipped out. I told her that while I understand that people make mistakes, I did not think I should be penalized (i.e., be without a phone for at least 5 days) for a mistake that Amazon made. She apologized for the mistake but made it clear that I would not receive a replacement until the original was returned. I informed her I would be writing a negative review.

    To summarize: I was sent a defective phone, was given incorrect information about how to replace it, had the replacement order silently cancelled without being notified, and Amazon refused to follow through on the terms of their agreement. One star.

    Fue una excelente compra. Batería en 94%. Estética casi perfecta, solo un pequeño rasguño en una esquina que para verlo hay que usar lupa. Lo volvería comprar definitivamente.

    I wanted to try an iphone as this would be my first. I have had now for a couple of weeks and still amazed at all the things this phone can do. There is so much and so far very pleased with my purchase. The pictures come out clear and zooming in shows so much detail. I can ask Suri and she will answer me right away. It was very easy to set up and use for the first time. The price was great and would and will recommend this iphone xs to anyone!

    La publicación dice condición excelente pero si viene con detalles visibles a una distancia mayor a 30 cm, la condición que yo le daría es buena y no excelente como lo anuncian, el paquete se retraso 1 día en la entrega, hasta ahorita, el teléfono ha ido bien.

    Realmente tenia como todos el miedo de recibir un producto que no me convenciera en su totalidad,
    pero todo lo contrario, me llego en perfecto estado, batería al 100%, sin ningún rayón, todo funcionando al 100% recomendado.
