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 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.

I got this phone for my daughter to use at summer camp. It’s her first phone, so price wise this ideally was great, compared to phone costs at Apple. We got her the 128/red phone. Battery was 100%. It’s like a brand new phone, no scratches or scuffs. Came with a charger. Works great!

I purchased a iPhone SE Gen 2 The phone arrived on time, cosmetically I am very pleased the phone is in great shape for a used phone. Unfortunately the battery capacity is at 77% for a product rated as excellent and relating to the description as advertised the battery should not have a capacity lower than 80% the battery capacity is a disappointment. Fortunately an at home battery replacement is not terribly expensive nor is it a difficult repair. Overall I would recommend based on the price point and due just how good of shape the phone is in. The screen and back glass are nearly perfect even with close examination only two inconspicuous marks around Apple logo likely from the old case that was used with the phone. Hope this review helps others make an educated decision when purchasing.
