Apple iPhone 16 Pro, US Version, 512GB, Black Titanium - Unlocked (Renewed)

Phone works well. I have been using it for a few weeks now, and I have zero complaints. The quality is amazing. I got it at 100% battery life, with only 6 cycles. It was well worth the money I paid for it. It has a beautiful color and was factory unlocked. I will say, though, when I first opened the package, the camera looked like it had scratches, which just turned out to be residue from some sort of cover they put onto the camera. All in all, I do recommend this product.

This phone is great.Because I use StraightTalk, I’ve stuck with bargain phones for the last 10 years. Paying full price for unlocked phones, I try to make them last as long as possible. My last phone was an Amazon renewed iPhone XR that was reaching the end of its update and battery lifespan. This review may not apply to somebody simply upgrading from an iPhone 13 or 14, as the differences won’t be as noticeable as they were for me.I immediately noticed how fast the 16 Pro is. Webpages and apps take far less time to load and are much more responsive overall. It seems to sync with Bluetooth devices more quickly.The camera is also a huge upgrade for me. Like wow. Pictures look fantastic. It takes amazing video, too. I went to a metal concert this weekend and the sound quality of my videos was impressive.The 16 Pro has a new camera button on the right side of the phone, which is super useful. My only complaint, is that unlike the rest of the buttons, many phone cases just have a cutout to accommodate this one particular button. It leaves the side of the phone and the edge of the screen exposed, which I’m not a huge fan of. I imagine there’s a reason behind this design, but quite frankly, it doesn’t bother me enough to look it up.This phone has a USB-C port—an update long overdue in my opinion. It also uses an ESIM instead of the traditional physical SIM card. In my case, there was a simple process to transfer the service over on the StraightTalk website. I believe these changes actually came with the iPhone 15, but needless to say, they’re new to me.Screen size states 6.3”—I compared it to the 6.1” screen on my fiancé’s iPhone 15 Pro but didn’t notice a difference. Both phones appear identical to me, but I didn’t overly analyze it, and she didn’t take hers out of the case.Battery life is really nice. What would’ve completely drained my battery before, only drops it to 60% now.Considering this is a current gen renewed phone, I was expecting solid battery life, but not perfect. I was thrilled to see 100% battery life, and this one got me, ZERO CHARGE CYCLES. I can’t say they’re all going to be like this, but other reviewers mentioned similar things. It has an 11/2024 manufacturing date, and under warranty until 11/2025.Typical iPhone ease of use, durability and feel. I’ve used both Apple and Android phones over the years. If you’re like me, and you just want your phone to work, well, if you know, you know.Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase.

I got the black titanium in excellent condition and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Phone is basically brand new except for a few scratches in the right corner of the screen but it isn’t noticeable at all once I put a screen protector on. The battery life is amazing! My iPhone 12 would die on me all the time and would go from 100 to 20 in a few hours. I’ve only had this phone for a day but the difference is night and day. I was playing videos and downloading apps for hours last night and the battery dropped less than 10%. I was able to add AppleCare+ Theft and Loss protection very easily which is a major plus. Overall a great phone at a great price!! It’s lightning fast and great quality.

Quick delivery and excellent phone. I could not tell that it was refurbished in any way other than perhaps packaging was of course not Apple. Otherwise, the phone is in perfect condition and has 100 percent battery life. I was concerned at first about purchasing a refurbished Iphone but I worried for nothing! I love the color of it and was so excited to get a perfect Iphone 16 for the price! Highly recommend this product from this seller.

I bought this phone to replace my very beloved yellow iPhone 11. Its battery desperately needed replaced, I had long outgrown the 128gb internal storage, and it recently developed a few dead pixels that turned into... many... that spread across the top of my screen. Nail in the coffin. I was quoted about $400 to repair it at the authorized shop Apple directed me to, so I decided it was just time to upgrade altogether. I LOVE my stupid little banana yellow phone and I don't care too much about new gen features, the only notable exception being the new camera specs, so I almost got a 15 instead. I don't think there's enough of a difference between 15 and 16 overall, but I obviously like my phones to last a long time, so I opted for the latest model purely for longevity's sake. The 16 Pro is also basically the same dimensions as the 11, so it doesn't feel any different in my hand than what I've been used to for the past 6 years.I use Mint Mobile, so I needed an unlocked phone, hence why I purchased here. I bought a listing being sold and shipped directly by amazon.com instead of a third party seller. I had originally bought a listing from the seller "Wcell" but they never shipped it, then gave me a new shipping estimate of another month... So I canceled and reordered directly from amazon. I figured it would be less hassle to skip a third party seller if I needed to return the phone, anyway.I paid for shipping so I would get it sooner. I did NOT get it sooner (or even soon in general) and it was shipped via USPS instead of UPS or Fedex, which shocked me. I've never had something so expensive shipped parcel select before. Why did I even pay shipping? Phone arrived in an unassuming box aside from the giant lithium battery warning sticker, which gives away that it's an electronic no matter how discreet they try to be. Inside package was another plain box with a serial number sticker on it, containing the phone and an unbranded double USB C charging cable. Nothing else. No paper, no invoice, not even an Amazon Renewed flyer I've seen in other reviews. It sat in my mailbox under the hot sun for a few hours before I could get to it, which is Not Great for the battery, and when I opened it the phone was hot to the touch. So keep this in mind when ordering.The phone's outer condition is okay, but not quite up to the standard promised. This phone was listed as REFURBISHED - EXCELLENT, which states it should have "no visible cosmetic imperfections when held at an arm's length". However there are multiple scrapes on the titanium trim around the screen, leaving highly visible shiny silver specks against the black titanium, and a large scratch in the screen itself (pictured) The placement of the scratches lead me to believe the screen has been removed and the metal was scraped by a jimmy tool while prying it open. Maybe the screen was replaced? Maybe the screen had to be removed for another repair? Who knows. I would be surprised if it was a replacement unless they managed to scratch the new screen immediately after.The battery is GREAT. It arrived to me at 1%, but that's the mail's fault. Phone has been anctive since December 2024 but battery only has TWO (2) cycles on it and 100% capacity. The battery was definitely freshly replaced.I personally don't mind the cosmetic damage enough to worry about trying to get a replacement, it took long enough to get it as is and the phone itself works just fine. If anything now I won't feel bad if I add a flaw in the future, but I know a lot of people won't feel the same way I do so I wanted to put my experience out there.So to recap, phone is what I would call Repaired. Brand new battery replacement, suspected screen replacement, with some cosmetic damage. Otherwise perfectly fine phone. I'll update if anything changes with normal use.RIP in peace banana phone. You served me well 🍌 🫡
