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

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.

PRO: Came with "renewed premium" product grade, which we wanted. We buy these phones because they are economical (can't afford brand new iPhones!). This is our second such purchase (we upgraded from iPhone 8's) to SE (2nd gen) watches. The watches we received look like they could be brand new, and the batteries in each are in very good condition. We also did not want iPhones with black or red cases, which meant the white case (more popular?) took a little longer to get. We also wanted the SE watch because they are the same size as the iPhone 8 so we could re-use the protective cases we already had. Upgradable to Apple iOS 17.X.X. And, they are compatible with Apple Watches model 8 and newer. CON: The Apple iPhone SE (2nd Gen) has a black face when off (compared to the white face the iPhone 8 has). This makes it necessary to get used to finding the "home" button. I solved that problem by putting a small piece of colored tape next to it. They use 4G technology, not 5G. GENERAL COMMENTS: For the most part, the iPhone SE-2 operation is like our iPhone 8's. So, not much of a learning curve. A couple of the displays that appear when in use are different, but that is not an issue. And a BIG PLUS for the two iPhone SE2's that I bought through Amazon is that Amazon will pay us a nice amount for our iPhone 8's when we clean them of all content and return them as instructed on the Amazon web site. Now, we have two watches that were sold in 2022 instead of 2 phones that were made in 2017. One reason we bought these two watches is so we could use them along with our Apple Watches (Model 8's) which we also just bought. When we carry our iPhones with us, then we can use our watches just as if the watches had the cellular feature some come with (ours didn't, by our choice).

I purchased this as a second phone to my Android primary phone. I mainly needed it to use Apple's AirPlay. It was inexpensive and works well as the second phone. I was able to update to the latest Apple iOS operating system. Charges well on the disc charger that I bought separately

Consider very carefully whether to buy a reconditioned cell phone from WirelessSource thru Amazon. I purchased a "renewed" iPhone SE 2. I tried for three days - working my service provider - to activate the phone only to give up and return it. WirelessSource claimed the phone was not the same item they sold, noting the IMEI was not the same as in the phone they sold. I replied that the service provider had changed the electronic IMEI while trying to activate the device, but the returned item was exactly the very same iPhone they had sold me. They again said it was not the same device but eventually issued a $15.20 refund after deducting a $144.78 "restocking fee." They offered to return this non-working phone to me, but I'd have to pay for the postage. What use would I have for a phone I couldn't activate and couldn't use? So, they kept the phone to resell and I was left holding the bag. After going through a nearly two-week-long merry-go-round exchange with the Amazon A to Z Guarantee staff trying to sort it all out, Amazon Customer Service came through and issued a refund for the "restocking fee". So, kudos to Amazon Customer Service; a five star performance in the end. As for WirelessSource: If it were possible to issue a negative star review, I'd give them a minus 5. I've decided I really didn't need a newer iPhone. My "vintage" iPhone 6 still works well enough and I can live with its limitations.

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

This is my first IPhone and I’m liking it. The phone arrived with no scratches. It looked brand new. Although it is a bit smaller than my previous android, it does what I need it to do. The grip is great because my other phone would get a bit heavy. The camera is great and I’ve gotten some really clear pictures. No issues so far with overheating and it charges to 100 percent quickly. This is a very durable phone. I hope this helps.

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.

iPhone SE 2020 nuevo. Cumple al cien por ciento lo mencionado en la descripción, la condición de la batería está en 93%, no tiene ningún rasguño, las cámaras funcionan correctamente, buen volumen, solo el altavoz se escucha un poco distorsionado pero es lógico en un equipo del 2020, incluye accesorios genéricos los cuales no usaré debido a que cuento en casa con los originales de Apple. En conclusión es una excelente compra porque reciben un buen equipo a un costo accesible, estoy seguro que volveré a comprar el Reacondicionado Premium.

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.
