I ordered mine in January of this year so I've used it for a half year thus far and am pleased with this model iPhone. A couple issues straight away were: battery was listed as 90% health or better but that wasn't the case. My iPhone arrived with 87% battery health. There was also a few little scratches on the front glass but once I had the glass screen protector installed you couldn't see them. so no problem. Everything else on this iPhone worked perfectly. Since I ordered the premium version (for a higher price of course) the battery health was an issue. I didn't want to return the iPhone for a replacement after setting it up et al, I was able to receive a small partial refund for the battery health not being as stated. It has remained at 87% for these past 6 months and lasts a long time. It's an excellent phone.
The camera lenses are great; I am glad to have the 3 lenses and use all of them regularly. And the large HD space, 512GB is fantastic - the largest I've ever had in an iPhone and am not concerned if I am shooting some 4k video as I won't run out of space.
I also like that it still takes a physical SIM card. (not just the e-sim) I have Verizon and everything just works. (You provide the SIM card)
This is the first time I purchased a 'refurb' Apple iPhone through amazon. I was a bit concerned before buying but once mine arrived and we got the wrinkles out I am very pleased and happy with my purchase. I was just tonight looking at the apple website and they have refurb items and they had this exact iPhone - but for more than I paid. Their's came with a new battery, that would be nice, but my phone just works perfectly, does everything it should and battery lasts long. When I need a battery, I can get Apple certified replacement of that so this phone is going to last me a long time.
Oh, it's got 5G too. Though around here it's still LTE or 4G. A winner!
