Amazon iPhone 14 Review

Rather than going into all the nifty upgraded details and features of the IPhone 14, this will be more of a summary of some key features with emphasis on Amazon’s renewed /refurbished program for IPhones.

iPhone 14 is a terrific phone with very good battery life especially compared to the previous iPhone mini iterations which sports smaller batteries. Also, Apple has removed the physical SIM slot for IPhone 14 for US customers.

Transitioning and transferring data from a physical sim from an older iPhone to iPhone 14 wasn’t difficult. It was fairly similar to the previous method: having stable network/wifi, bringing the iPhones together and just follow the instructions as they come up. It would seem that there may be cases where a bit of hiccup may occur during the data transfer when the WiFi/network is lost, as was the case for us. Initially, both the old and new iPhone was on the home network/wifi, but midway through, iPhone 14 reverted to cellular network 5g. As a result, the data transfer took slightly longer than expected but still managed to complete within 1.5hours. This was approximately 175gb of data using the 5g cellular network because of the WiFi/home network faux pas (disconnection).

This is the 3rd time we’ve ordered through Amazon’s Renewed Premium program (pre-owned/refurbished). The first 2 times was actually sold by a third party. Our experiences have been decent, given the discounted price and reasonably decent quality as advertised.

This time for the IPhone 14, we decided to go with Amazon Renewed Premium and actually sold by Amazon. Given the same price or even slightly higher we believe it to be a very worthwhile move. See attached pictures for the packaging, the care/attention and assurance of quality & condition.

Amazon also have renewed conditions of Excellent, Good and Acceptable. Depending on the needs and budget they may be suitable alternatives. However, since we have not made purchases in these conditions we won’t be able post comments or reviews.

The price for the condition and quality has definitely exceeded our expectations this time around. It’s possible that we may have been lucky this time around or perhaps Amazon has higher standards, thus products (especially pre-owned/refurbished) sold directly by Amazon
have higher probability of being consistently exceptional when compared to third party.
Nevertheless, as we are quite impressed and satisfied with Amazon Renewed Premium condition sold by Amazon, that will be our likely first choice going forward. The second choice will be Amazon renewed Premium condition sold by third party.

It has been approximately 5 weeks since we’ve received and have been using the phone. So far so good, battery capacity remains at 100%.
