Apple iPhone SE 2nd Generation, US Version, 64GB, Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

I am so happy with this phone! I was about to buy from another well known site that sells used phones when I discovered that amazon sells refurbished ones and that are fully operational, checked for quality, have a 90 day warranty AND are unlocked!. My 11 yr old daughter had an iphone SE since she was 7 and took good care of it till it accidentally slipped from her hand onto concrete. Even though she was very responsible with it for a long time, I still dont see the sense in getting a brand new phone and spending hundreds of dollars on it for a kid. Even adults have accidents with their phones sometimes and I think the chances are higher with a kid. So when I discovered this option I was overjoyed. It does everything she wants to do - call, text, go on the internet, download apps and games and hers has 5G (careful because I think amazon also sells a 2G one, so I made sure to get this one that says 5G). And this way, if she has a horrible accident with it, Im not out hundreds of dollars. The one she got looks almost new, only a very light scratch on the back which is covered with a case anyway. All we had to do was take her sim card out if her old phone and put it in the new phone and then it asked if we had a nearby apple device we’d like to sync it with (in this case, her tablet) and it walked us through that process. It really couldn’t have been easier! The phone even came with a little tool for getting the sim card out! And a generic brand charger to charge the phone with. I am SO happy with this purchase! Thank you Amazon for having these available at an affordable price!! Affordable options like this are why I keep shopping with Amazon! Oh and the battery health was pretty good, better than my current phone! Maximum charging capacity 91%. For a refurbished phone that is excellent

I bought this for my granddaughter’s birthday and used it for a month to familiarize myself with it before giving it to her and I really liked it, easy to use, no problems. She is so happy with it. A great buy.

This is the best phone I’ve ever owned, in my opinion. I’m passionate about smartphones, and I’ve loved previous high end Androids. This has a few key advantages over those devices. Simplicity. I used to compile my own Gentoo. I understand the value of FOSS. Still, I’ve come to decide that a personal communicator/ data assistant needs to be usable above all else. iOS is feature-complete, thoughtfully efficient, and free of redundancy beyond Android. The toddler’s interface i used on the iPod touch has matured into what it was meant to be Reliability. I’ve never had big problems with Android, but it can hiccup. On every phone I’ve used over more than a decade, I’ve occasionally experienced minor crashes, GPS gremlins, battery drains, cooling anomalies, and inscrutable major app discontinuations. In nearly a year of use, this old midrange iPhone has been utterly rock solid and i am confident Apple will not yank the rug out from under any of its core utilities. I do not manage the RAM on this phone or track battery usage. It’s just normal at all times. Durability. I do not use phone cases. The concept is a bit bizarre to me from a design standpoint. It’s not ideal, but i just try to be very careful with my phone. I’m good enough at it that, since smartphones emerged, it has been overall worth it for me despite eventually breaking two phones in that period. Still, I’m aging and I’ve dropped it. It’s clear that this phone is comprehensively designed; the materials and structure are unbelievably resistant to impact on hard surfaces. The damage to my phone is entirely cosmetic to the aluminum frame, and frankly makes me smile that it worked as intended in the face of adversity. Performance. My last phone had significantly more raw computing power than this phone. Still, this phone has a smoother UI and, in my opinion, marks a significant point of diminishing returns in mobile processing power. Clearly, little of the hardware is wasted. It is well balanced. Criticisms include: the ability to edit large blocks of text in iMessage has degraded since the last update. Moving the cursor has become more difficult. Battery life is mediocre. I can confidently get a day of normal use or a few hours of streaming video, and i have to charge it every night. My refurbished phone arrived with a gouge in the screen which i consider barely acceptable. The experience is great. I’ve lost interest in cracking software and customizing each UI element with unlimited freedom in favor of a workflow that aligns with my long-term goals. In that regard this phone excels. Lovely bit of hardware and software.

Phone camr with a working charger. It was in pristine condition as far as no scratches. I took a star off since Apple did a diagnostic text and the battery life came back in the red--highly recommended a new battery. This will cost $75. So far it's held a charge, but I have yet to switch my sim, so who knows how it will hold up under daily usage. Overall it seems to work well. I like the size and that's the only reason I got this instead of a 40 Wal-Mart phone

Great phone, I just needed something cheap and simple to get the job done temporarily while I saved up for a newer version. The selfie camera did go out about a month and half after I got it but that wasn't a huge deal for me =) Thanks guys for the great deal!

I previously purchased from Amazon Renewed an iPhone 5s, and was satisfied with it considering the price was barely over one hundred dollars. That phone, however, was originally released in 2013, and at 8 years old it was getting hard to justify its continued use. So when the new iPhone SE (2020) was released I was really tempted to get it, but the pandemic had basically stopped any purchasing of anything for me at the time. Now in September of 2021, with the battery in my old phone failing, it was time to do something. I decided to check out what Amazon might have in their "renewed" products and was surprised to find that they now have "Renewed Premium", which offers a year's satisfaction guarantee. That meant, in my mind, I could send this thing back if it wasn't good or turned out to be a lemon, so I sprung for it. First of all, this one came in a nice box, oversized, and obviously sturdy enough to protect everything inside. It comes with an information packet describing what "premium" means, along with a quick start guide. The inclusion of a standard wall charger was nice, but I have a number of chargers already, not to mention my iPad Pro charger. I'll get back to that in a minute. Another thing that was nice to have included was a tool for removing the SIM card tray. Nice, but it turns out that with the new iPhone SE you can use eSIM! More on that as well in a minute. Now first of all... This phone looks gorgeous. The red color and the black front make for an awesome combination. All surfaces are smooth as if it was a brand new phone. Turning it on shows the screen is working perfectly, with even back lighting all across to each corner. The first thing I checked was the "battery health". Amazon promises that with their renewed premium phones the battery would at least be at ninety percent of capacity, so I immediately checked. Ninety-eight percent! Eight percent better than what they promised. Not bad at all! So it turns out that this phone supports fast charging. So that means my phone gets charged on the desk where my iPad Pro sits, because the charger for that is a high capacity charger. The iPhone SE charges up easily in a little over an hour, which means no need to plug it in over night. In fact, I plug it in before bed, but it's plugged into an outlet controlled by Alexa and that wont come on till in the morning. The phone charges up to capacity before I go to work! Now for setting up the service, the iPhone SE (2020) supports eSIM, which means getting set up with Mint Mobile (or any service that supports eSIM) was as easy as... Well, I went to Mint Mobile's website, checked my location, checked phone compatibility, chose my service plan, then chose eSIM at check out. A few minutes later a QR code appeared on the screen of my computer that I scanned with the iPhone SE, and a few seconds later I had 4G/LTE and everything ready to go. eSIM is the way to go. It is, just trust me on that. After about a week of using the phone, on some days like I normally do and on other day literally trying to cause it run dry of battery or trying to get it to malfunction, this little phone is holding up way better than I could have anticipated. I believe I can safely say my iPhone 5s can be retired for good. By the way. Get a cover. This phone has a glass back, which means it can be charged wirelessly, but it also means you can break it easily. I got a simple transparent back cover with a raised bezel around the edges. It cost about 9 dollars, came in the same day as the phone. I would recommend this phone and the Amazon Renewed Premium program. Yes the cost of the phone was more than it would have been with renewed only, but being able to return the phone for up to a year is worth it.

Look brand new excellent condition so far so good not even a scratch! Battery at 85% I would recommend and I will be buying again next month for my daughter and my granddaughter is very happy so far so good Can’t tell it was refurbished except for the battery

Contacting this company is next to impossible. They ignore emails and phones calls. The phone froze when I was installing my profile and programs. iTunes locked up on the phone and then the phone locked up and would not clear. After several youtube videos and calls to iPhone Geeks, I was finally able to get it unlocked (no thanks to the seller) The battery only stays charged for 2 hours then goes dead. Once I finally got it programed and operating, the phone is good, but it's dead after 2 hours of use. All of my apps are turned off and the phone is set to power save modes. Essentially all I use it for is to play music from and for that it works great. Customer service from these people is lacking though

Lo adquirí y fue mi dispositivo personal por mucho tiempo (lo recibí como nuevo, cero golpes o ratones, batería al 100% y aún con garantía. Completamente libre para cualquier compañía). Sigue teniendo Excelentes cámaras (para ser una sola la trasera) la calidad es buena aún y lo que me encanta es que la calidad de los videos es muy buena. Corre bien todas las apps y no tuve ningún problema con bugs o algo así. En el rendimiento 10/10. El único inconveniente es que al día de hoy la batería ya no es suficiente para un uso intensivo, si solo lo necesitas como dispositivo secundario está bien siempre y cuando lo recibas con más del 85% de batería. Porque estando más abajo y dándole un uso leve aún así tendrías que cargarlo por lo menos una vez en el día. Ahora lo uso como equipo secundario y no tengo ningún problema, lo uso para llamadas y redes sociales. En mi trabajo siempre hay donde cargarlo por eso es que no tengo problema con la batería. Pero si necesitas un equipo para estar fuera mucho tiempo, no te servirá de mucho, ya que como comento, la batería ya no rinde mucho con un uso regular-intensivo. Considera esto si lo recibes con un porcentaje menor al 85%.

Ok, so I ordered this re-furbished phone because I'm going on a cruise and I can't take my business iPhone phone with me. When I opened the box, I was very impressed. The phone was absolutely like brand new. No scratches, the screen was perfect and everything worked. I set it up and everything went smoothly. It charged with no issue and the battery life, so far (its only been a few days) seems good. The only tiny issue that I can find so far is that the phone doesn't come with the pin device that opens the SIM card slot. Not a huge issue at all as I have a couple of them, but someone else might not. As for setting it up, there was no issue at all. It connected to my WiFi without problems and updated itself as soon as it connected. Now I still have to add it to my wireless phone plan, but I expect that will be very easy. I would recommend Canadian Outlet (company that fulfills Amazon's requests) as like I said, I was extremely impressed by the phone that I received and it was also a very good price. As for the Amazon side, product arrived on-time and was packaged well for shipping.

Great quality, functions like new. Battery life sucks just like any phone. Worth the money, mint condition.

Love it! Actually this is my second one purchased...one for myself and one for my son.

Compré la versión premium, viene de EU, llegó perfecto en una caja genérica de amazon renewed, el equipo tiene una estética de 10, compré el color negro, viene con herramienta SIM, cargador genérico de 1.5A, el equipo presenta la batería al 100% de vida. La verdad creo que es prácticamente nuevo, todo en orden Vale totalmente el dinero, un buen teléfono, certificado, con garantía
