Apple iPhone 14 Plus, 128GB, Midnight - Unlocked (Renewed)

I'm not into paying new prices for phones, nor do I care about incremental upgrades every year. If you're like me and got about 8 years out of your last phone which was on its absolute last legs and needed replacing, you probably found yourself here trying to find a deal. And, I think I might've. Because of what I outlined above, I opted for a three year old 14 Plus (unlocked) model to replace my beaten and worn XR. The condition I opted for was the middle one. The phone came right to life and the battery health showed 85%, more than acceptable. There were very minor scratches on the side and around the rear camera, again more than acceptable. The scratches on the side were completely covered by a case and the ones around the camera don't affect its function and honestly probably won't even be noticed by others. The screen was mint and so was the rear glass. The phone I was sent must've been from an Asian region as the language that came up by default was one I didn't understand at all, but it wasn't difficult to swipe around a bit and get it changed over to English. Saw a couple others note that as a complaint, but it really shouldn't be one. Took mere seconds to get the language sorted out. Zero complaints with function as of day one. The setup and transfer went seamlessly. Will update in the future if anything goes wrong, but as of now I'm happy with my purchase, a couple blemishes and a couple model years for about a quarter of what a new rig runs you for is a good deal far as I'm concerned.

This phone was a temporary solution until I could find an S23 Ultra. When I first got it, it had 85% maximum capacity. Unlike some people who moan about poor battery health, you need to remember these are preowned and used who knows how many times. Overall I am impressed with the camera quality and video performance. It’s bigger than my iPhone 13 Pro but is still a very capable device. There’s little to no imperfections on the body of the iPhone 14 Plus. I have it as an emergency phone in case life gets other ideas. It was mostly used for my boost mobile service and it did excellent. Nearly all of my devices were from Amazon refurbished. The only lemon I received was an IPhone XS with a messed up camera module. Although it is the first generation of iPhones to go purely e-sim which makes sense for security and theft reasons. I bought this in April of 2025. I am writing this review now to fully assess the situation for refurbished iPhones.

I recently bought the unlocked "Premium Refurbished" iPhone 14 Plus (256GB Blue). It was my first time buying from Amazon, and I was hesitant because of the many negative reviews I saw from other sellers, so I chose the Amazon seller. The iPhone arrived in perfect condition, without scratches, dents, or performance issues, and the battery was at 100%. It came with a one-year warranty from Amazon, which is excellent. The iPhone 14 Plus is fantastic; the battery life is impressive—it lasts all day. It's an excellent purchase for anyone looking for a premium iPhone at a good price. I recommend both the phone and the refurbished program for their quality and value.If other sellers offer the same quality and warranty, it’s could be a good option. I would definitely buy another model from them in the future. I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s not brand new, and the cable and adapter aren’t original, but it’s in excellent condition “premium”.

I was honestly a little nervous about buying a refurbished phone, but I’m so glad I did. The phone arrived in great condition—clean, no noticeable scratches, and it works perfectly. Battery life is strong, performance is smooth, and everything functions just like a new phone. Setup was easy, it came well packaged, and shipping was fast. You truly can’t tell it’s refurbished. I saved money and got a phone that feels brand new. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would 100% recommend this seller to anyone considering a refurbished phone!

Item arrived in fantastic condition and has been working great. I bought this for my daughter after needing to upgrade her from an Iphone Xr for Apple Watch compatibility, and she loves it, too! Battery health was 100%, phone storage is great, and the Apple Watch paired without any issues. I am beyond grateful for the helpfulness of the seller, Hybrid IT. I have been buying used phones from Amazon for a while now (even got friends to buy rather than pay a ton to upgrade with their carrier) and if you're on the fence, look into your seller's rating! Hybrid IT was great, the phone was great (gonna review the Watch momentarily... it was great, too), and overall, 100000/10

This was well worth the money. There are absolutely no scratches on the phone. It looks like it is brand new. I got the renewed premium phone because I wanted a phone that looked like it had just been taken out of the box. The battery is at 100% battery health. I felt like I made a really good decision buying this phone. Always go with the Renewed Premium. It's like getting a brand-new phone.

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  !!!

The phone was in great condition when I got it in July of 2025. I order black but for some reason I got blue, I’m not mad but I expected black. There was a tiny scratch on one of the camera lens but it didn’t affect the picture quality at all. The battery health came at 98% and it came with a screen protector on, when I took it off there were no scratches. Overall a great buy, money well spent.
