Apple today began selling a Certified Refurbished iPhone 12 mini model in the United States for the first time since the device was released in October 2020.
Apple’s refurbished online store currently has a refurbished iPhone 12 mini available with 128GB of storage in a black finish for $579. It’s worth noting that Apple is still selling a new iPhone 12 mini with 128GB of storage for $649, so the refurbished model doesn’t offer significant savings, and the device is also nearly two years old.
Refurbished iPhone 12 mini model is unlocked and SIM free. All refurbished iPhones come with a new battery, a new outer shell, and a new white box that includes all manuals and a USB-C to Lightning cable. All refurbished iPhones are covered by Apple’s standard one-year warranty and are eligible for extended AppleCare+ coverage.
Apple claims that its refurbished iPhones are thoroughly tested and cleaned, and in our opinion, they are virtually indistinguishable from new iPhones. One of the only noticeable differences with a Certified Refurbished iPhone is that it comes in a simpler box.
iPhone 12 mini features include a 5.4-inch OLED display, A14 Bionic chip, 5G, dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, and more. Apple then released an iPhone 13 mini last year, but rumors suggest there won’t be an iPhone 14 mini this year.
A few refurbished iPhone 12 Pro configurations also remain in stock.
