Apple iPhone 14 Plus, 128GB, Purple for Unlocked (Renewed Premium)

First off, I never write reviews, but after my recent experiences I thought this might help some others.Needed to replace an aging IPhone which was still working great, but a lot of apps needing newer IOS. So, not looking for the lastest/greatest, just a good update. Decided IPh 14+ was a good option.Here were my first 3 strikes :1) I purchased an “Excellent” OPEN BOX phone from Best Buy. It came in a box sealed with Geek Squad tape. When opened, the phone had tons of fingerprints all over it, front and back; not a great first impression. After going through the startup process I was greeted with a screen that informed me that the phone had remote management software installed on it. Basically unusable.2) I returned it and they replaced it with another “Excellent” OPEN BOX. Same thing – both phones had been previously owned by some company (now out of business) who had loaded remote management software on the phones. So… these are expensive, unusable bricks, and shame on BB/Geek Squad for selling these phones to the public.3) After that experience I decided to give Amazon a try and bought a phone supplied by WOOT, as I have had good experiences with other Woot purchases. The phone arrived in a beat up generic box with the inside packaging worse than the outside. On the positive side, the phone was cosmetically very good with no obvious scratches, etc. So, everything looked good until I checked the battery health. 81%. NOT GOOD. Yes, it meets the described spec of >80% for their “Excellent” condition, but will going to be into the Apple service condition in a couple of weeks. Returned to Amazon/Woot and waiting for refund.After reading a ton of reviews I decided to give it one more shot and get a “Premium” condition directly from Amazon.com. Most of the reviews of these phones were much better than all of the other vendors. They are definitely more expensive but come with a 365 day warranty vs 90 day and spec at >90% battery life. Phone arrived today. It was VERY nicely packaged in a SEALED shrink wrapped professional looking box. Opened the box and found a phone with what appeared to be the original Apple protective film still in place on the front and back. Battery was dead so after a quick charge I was able to check battery health…… 100% and 0 charge cycles. Basically this is a brand NEW, NEVER USED phone.I can’t say how impressed I was after three bad experiences. I saved a couple $hundred compared to BB or Apple and got a brand new phone ….. It’s all about the journey  !!!

Good battery percentage. This is the phone I currently use. It's a great purchase. I recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great camera and decent size

Late arrival and came with generic charger was in Pristine Condition look like brand new phone no scuffs or scratches whatsoever love the size and i saved almost $300 compared to buying directly from Apple and yes this model is still solid on apple website other than late arrival and i love my purchase

I recently purchased the Apple iPhone 14 Plus (128GB, Purple, Unlocked - Renewed Premium), and I’m thrilled with my decision! It arrived in flawless condition, looking and functioning like a brand-new device. The "Renewed Premium" promise truly holds up—no scratches, dents, or performance issues.The iPhone 14 Plus itself is fantastic. The larger display is vibrant, smooth, and perfect for watching videos or multitasking. The battery life is impressive and easily lasts me through the entire day, even with heavy use. The camera is outstanding, capturing sharp and vibrant photos, even in low light.Being unlocked, the phone worked seamlessly with my carrier without any hiccups. It’s also great to know I’m getting a powerful A15 Bionic chip in a sleek and durable design at a more affordable price.Overall, this is an excellent purchase for anyone looking to own a premium iPhone at a fraction of the price. Highly recommend both the phone and the renewed program for exceptional quality and value!

Excellent quality phone, no dents or visible scratched, bought this as a gift because the person doesn't want a brand new items. Very pleased with the purchase since I typically avoid buying preowned electronics after bad experiences, but this was a great buy and saved some money.

it is horrible and do not buy pleasei bought this one for visible carrier. it doesn't allow me to activate esim because cellular feature is grayed out.when i try to scan the qr code to activate, it kept saying no usable date found. i looked up the other forums if people have same issues and they found it comes from refurbished phone problems.it says it is tested and certified. however i do not believe it is tested. cellular feature for esim is not working which is useless. and i am returning
