iPhone SE 2nd generation, 64 GB, black (refurbished)

Apologies - I realise this is a long Review, but I believe it is worthwhile getting to the end... ADDITION NOTE AND FINAL UPDATE Replacement arrived. Supplier had maintained excellent contact and I was confident all would turn out well. Everything absolutely fine. Setup, secure, and working splendidly. The supplier (ineedamobile) was fantastic. I truly appreciate how much effort they put into ensuring a satisfied customer. This review went from ONE star (at the start) to FOUR stars (once Amazon/ineedamobile were doing their stuff), and based upon how the replacement looks and works (now I have confidence in the battery as the app reports properly), this review is being made up to FIVE stars. The iPhone SE 2nd Gen is a lovely phone. No regrets. It is a pity to place it in a protective case, but that is where it now resides. VERY pleased. NOTE: Given how Amazon Customer Service and the supplier have responded, I have bumped this to 4-stars from a single star. I would have gone to 5-stars, given the care taken by Amazon and the supplier (ineedamobile), but the battery was faulty and so it is what it is. That said, the battery reporting by the app has basically made victims of all of us. Read on! -------------- ORIGINAL Alarm bells were ringing the moment it arrived. Setting it up, the phone reported that the it couldn't guarantee accurate readings of the battery as it didn't appear to be an Apple part. Roll forward 10 weeks. Woke to a dead phone. Odd, I could have sworn it was 60-odd percent when I went to bed. The mind plays tricks, so I just stuck it on charge. This morning was the third time it died when I 'supposed' it had charge when I went to bed. I seemed to recall it was 83% at bedtime. The meter tells me it was about 85%. Then at 03:00, it died. The battery charge dropped off a cliff. So it WASN'T my imagination. Nice to know, but a pain. The Amazon Return Window has passed, but I am going to double-check my consumer rights as I suspect that Amazon's T&Cs don't override legal rights - and a phone that goes from 85% to flat in the blink of an eye means it is: - Faulty (battery dies without warning), - Not fit for Purpose (not 'mobile' if it needs to be next to an outlet in case it dies without warning), - and it CANNOT be established to be As Described in that the inability of the battery app to accurately report battery health means there is no way to tell whether it is 80% or above, battery health (as claimed when offered for sale).. Lesson? If it says "Cannot verify battery to be Apple," - reject it immediately. It might be okay, BUT Amazon can only judge a phone on what the app reports (100% of battery life) whereas the app goes on with that disclaimer. Therefore, that 100% may well be pure bunkum. ALL THAT SAID (First Edit)... I contacted Amazon. All I can say is that it was a good experience. Sure, the Amazon Return Window had passed, but my Consumer Rights (under 6 months) gave me the option of a refund (possibly adjusted to show usage) - replacement - repair (once only allowed, after which a full refund is available in the case of the repair failing). Amazon took the order number and they already knew and applied the Rights. And so a replacement is to be with me within 48 hours. They even offered a full refund (I'd rather have a phone), despite the fact that the Consumer Rights Act states that if over 30 days but under 6 months, it can be adjusted to reflect use before failure. Original advice applies: if a non-Apple battery - REJECT IT IMMEDIATELY as the app may misreport the battery's condition - and that basically means no one can tell what the true battery health is - so the minimum of 80% means nothing.

Kitten or the “culprit” now set as new screen saver on this iPhone SE 2020 64GB, destroyed my iPhone X to a near unworkable condition. I couldn’t afford to go out and spend £750 - £1,000 + on a new phone, so took a bit of a chance and went for refurbished SE. This cost a much more affordable £119. Condition was graded as “C” on box, but to me it looks like a new phone! No dents, no scratches and clean as a whistle. Delivery was special delivery 24hrs, so received phone almost instantly! Really top points for delivery! Exceptional. Battery is at 96% health as seen in pics. My only real issue that has caused me a headache is the 64GB storage, not enough to take on the iPhone X, and because my phone was so badly damaged I couldn’t remove things to get that memory down. However, I did it a different way, time consuming but has worked out pretty okay. My iPad is pretty much a clone of my phone, so did a full iCloud backup of iPad, had to increase iCloud storage so that’s now £2.99 a month. But I was already paying for 50GB, so in reality it’s an extra cost of £2 a month. Then I asked the iPhone SE to restore from iCloud, because all the photos are compressed this is now taking up 40GB on the iPhone SE. if you need a picture in full HD resolution you just click the cloud button and it will retrieve it for you. Also offloaded apps unlikely to be used on phone, makes them a couple of MB but all the data is saved in the cloud, so at any point you can pull it back. So this has been a solution. It ported in the apps, the passwords, I configured email so that’s all there, messenger was just a log in and its put all that on there. Whatsapp was a case of logging in and thats all gone on, the only thing it hasn’t gone on is contacts. Going to try and find a way to do this later on. If I have to do manually it will be a bit of an ache as about 400+ names and numbers to add! It did want an update to OS 16.6, not a problem, 30 min job. Not put sim in just yet, getting the whole thing fully set up first on Wi-Fi, sim will be last to go in at the end of today. Of course, you can spend more money and get 256GB phone and it will just clone itself. But that’s going to be £££ more. This way I should be up and running by end of the day for £119 - express delivery and to my eye a phone that looks new, with excellent condition battery. Plus I’ve ordered an extra tough case for it, so the “culprit” can’t do a repeat performance, so even if there were some fine scratches / signs of wear, they would be covered by casing anyway. So far so good, will be relived when sim is in, that’s the final step to make and receive calls. Highly recommend, just be mindful that 64GB is quite low storage these days, but as explained above, there is a way around that. A cost effective solution to a desperate situation that needed an emergency replacement. I’m also lead to believe “Wikipedia” that the A13 chip in the SE 2020 is an improvement on the X. Also, this is the fastest item I’ve ever had delivered bar a takeaway, and I live in the Channel Islands. Well impressed with delivery! Impressed with condition of phone “like new” and impressed at that great battery health. I was so distressed after the kitten pulled apart my iPhone X, and worried about replacement costs. I’m so relieved this option existed and hasn’t broke the bank. Think I’m converted to going down the refurbished route in the future, the savings are huge! Many thanks to the seller! 5******

The phone arrived in excellent condition, without any scratches. However, the battery was very bad at 77%, so I had to buy a new one. Everything else is fine, but keep in mind that you may need to replace the battery, which is an extra cost.

This amazon renewed product looks brand new without any marks I can see and am very pleased with it and in line with the T&C of amazon renewed it has 82% battery health (min is 80%) I do wish the health was better but its within their limit. I will be using this mainly as an Ipod for music and not a phone as my ipod is IOs 15 and no new updates and the battery hardly lasts a day. Whereas this phone is IOS 18 updated and can still get a genuine battery fitted when needed and also has a clearer, bigger screen and a fingerprint sensor and home button. I will put a sim in it for emergency use only but very pleased with the quality and offers great value for money, has great functionality and is fast for my needs with the ocasional game being played. To keep the screen like new and limit the scratch resistance I will get a new screen protector

A few marks to back but new glass screen. It charges to 100% and does not seem to need charging any more frequently to my broken one it replaced. No corner dings either. Happy with purchase

Excellent quality, looked like new and professionally packed. I bought it already a few months ago for my dad in Germany but wanted to wait with the review until he had a chance to use it for a while. I am truly impressed with what I got for my money, I would have spent twice that much in Germany. Would certainly buy from that seller again.

Very good condition , like a new phone. No scratches no marks.

Good phone for what I paid..battery health could have been better, but a solid phone for my child.

Très agréablement surprise par la qualité du produit reçu. Mon choix s'est porté sur un article un peu plus cher que d'autres offres équivalentes mais j'ai fait confiance à ECOMMUNITY qui avait de bonnes appréciations ... pour le moment entièrement justifiées. Livraison très rapide, article semblant neuf dans une boite neutre avec câble, chargeur, coque et protège écran. Le transfert de mon ancien Iphone SE vers le nouveau s'est fait facilement, tout semble bien fonctionner ... pourvu que ça dure ! Septembre : après deux mois d'utilisation je déchante. La batterie se décharge aussi rapidement que sur mon ancien IPhone dont je me suis séparée pour la même raison ...

I recently acquired the iPhone SE 2nd Generation, 64GB, Schwarz (Refurbished) through amazon.de, and I must express my complete satisfaction with both the product and the overall shopping experience. The only thing I would commend on is the fact that it comes not in the original case, but in a small paper bag. Do not mind the dust in the pictures, stick to the fact that there no scratches! Despite being designated as refurbished, the device exhibited a like-new condition, with no apparent signs of wear and a flawless screen. Primarily, the reconditioned iPhone SE 2nd Gen surpassed my expectations in terms of both performance and appearance. The battery life was 99% which is very good. The 64GB storage capacity more than meets my requirements, allowing me to store a substantial amount of photos, apps, and other data without concerns about running out of space. I would consider though having a larger storage if you are using Netflix, Prime and Spotify offline. The device operates seamlessly, and I have not encountered any delays or performance issues with no lag at all. A noteworthy aspect of this purchase was the exceptional value for money. The cost of a refurbished iPhone SE 2nd Gen with 64GB storage is significantly lower than that of a brand-new device, making it a financially prudent option without compromising on quality. Moreover, the inclusion of a warranty for the refurbished iPhone SE 2nd Gen provided an additional layer of assurance. This underscores the website's dedication to customer satisfaction and belief in the quality of their refurbished products. In conclusion, for those seeking a budget-friendly yet high-quality iPhone, the iPhone SE 2nd Generation, 64GB, Refurbished stands out as an excellent option. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to save money without compromising on cutting-edge technology. In summary, a five-star rating from my side.

Pire investissement de ma vie le téléphone se décharge a une vitesse rapide, il ne tient pas plus de 1 h d'utilisation. Inutilisable après 3 mois. 150 € dans le vent.
