Apple iPhone 14, 128GB, Purple - Unlocked (Renewed)

So I didn’t realize the phone came with a screen protector, I kept putting on new ones and there were bubbles under it…. lol. I didn’t expect it to come with a screen protector tbh. So after realizing the phone actual screen didn’t have a bubble under it I was very relieved. And the original screen protector is pretty tight so it’s hard to notice. It barely fits with my otter box defender case. But everything is in working order so far. Camera is good. Had to activate the eSIM since I phone 14 and up don’t have a physical SIM card. It’s doable in hand when you get the phone when you purchase the unlocked version. I set all that up and updated the phone. And so far so good. Phone was in really good condition when I got it. Much better than my old phone through backpacker. Battery life gas been amazing too. Can’t say every phone is going to be this quality but hopefully they are. I think wireless source is who “renews” these phones, and they go through a 30 point inspection asa ell as a plug in diagnostic test I believe. If everything is good. Then it’s listed as renewed and is re sold. I’d say take the chance and grab one because it saved me all of money then buying a new phone. And the 14 should be supported until 2029 I think. That’s what I went with was the I phone 14.Good luck!

One issue was the estimated delivery date changed by 5 days and this would have impacted if it would be available for my trip. Fortunately the 2nd estimate was wrong and I was able to take the phone with me on my trip. The charger that is provided is slow. It took 1 hour for the percent charge to increase by 33%. I cant complain about this because Apple doesn't eve include a charger with their latest phones. So I would recommend also buying a fast charger and cable.

I have had this iPhone for 38 days.It has the worst battery life of any iPhone I've ever owned, and I have owned ONLY iPhones since the first version was released 17 years ago.This is the second iPhone 14 that I've bought from the renewed store .The first one I bought on December 4th, 2023, and I could not have been happier with the phone.It arrived in brand new condition, and performed flawlessly.On the recommendation of a friend, I checked the battery health and charging after having it for MONTHS and it was at 100%! I was thrilled!I absolutely loved the phone!I never had a single problem with it.Unfortunately, on July 30 of this year I dropped it, and it was beyond repair.I immediately went back to the Amazon renewed store and purchased another iPhone 14 because my experience with the first one was so fantastic.It arrived in new looking condition, exactly like the one I bought in December 2023.It was not scratched or anything really noticeable, it just seemed to be "worn" a little bit, but I fully understood that it was a renewed phone, and any cosmetic issues were not that important to me, including the color, which, when my iPhone is in its case, you cannot tell what color it is anyway.Unfortunately, I DID NOT look at the battery health and charging when I first got the phone 38 days ago, but I did look at it about two weeks ago, and it said 93%.I thought, ok, it's a renewed phone, it's not going to have 100% battery life.I can live with that.Well, I just looked at it today and it's now at 90% battery health and charging.So this phone is dying quickly.After being fully charged it dies within hours.I have it completely set up for optimized battery life.I have lost emails and messages that I was in the middle of composing, and the phone just dies.I've been in the middle of important phone calls when the phone dies, simply because I had just fully charged it a few hours before that, and thought I would be fine for hours to come.I just had a total shoulder replacement surgery a week ago, and I was on the phone with my doctors office yesterday about my first post-op appointment, and my phone died in the middle of it.I thought I had HOURS left before the phone would die.Then I had to plug it in, and wait for it to come back alive, so I could call my doctor back and hopefully not wait a half hour after losing my place in line.On top of that is also has issues with the touchscreen being glitchy, and sometimes I have to tap on things several times to get them to work.As I said, I have been an iPhone owner/user since the very first version came out 17 years ago.I've always loved all my iPhones, and I will continue to be an iPhone user for the rest of my life.This is in no way reflection on Apple iPhones whatsoever.They are an amazing and fantastic piece of technology.I think I just got a bad one for the first time in my life.Luckily, I have just checked and I have until November 6th to return this phone, and I WILL be returning it.The problem is, what do I do in the meantime?Am I expected to buy a new one and get that shipped to me, transfer all my information from this phone to the new one, and then return this one?That is extremely hard to do financially!I am actually still paying for this phone on my Amazon Prime American Express card!Or, do I return this phone and wait until the refund has been issued and then buy another phone? Then wait until that is sent to me.I would not have a phone for at least a week in the interim, and we all know these days that's a practical impossibility.I am also having several medical issues.Like I said, I just had a total shoulder replacement surgery last Monday, September 9th, and have several upcoming follow up appointments, and physical therapy appointments.I also have several other non-related medical issues that definitely require that I have a phone.I just don't know what to do.

I knew I wanted a new phone and opted to get a refurbished one so I didn’t have to spend so much. Since the reviews varied I knew I was taking a gamble but I’m SO glad I did it’s literally gorgeous. There’s one singular scuff on the bottom but it’s hardly noticeable and I don’t really mind it since the phone works perfectly. Ordered it on the 8th and it arrived on the 11th! (The expect arrival was originally the 14-16th). I love this phone so much you have no idea, had no issues whatsoever.Tip: Since I’ve read a couple reviews say they ordered unlocked and it apparently wasn’t, be sure to factory reset the phone one more time and it should fix the issue. I did a quick google search (thank goodness I did) and it worked for me when I had that glitch.

Everything was great with this phone until I couldn't get it activated over my home internet (fiber 500 meg) and two levels of Verizon techs believed it was defective. Turns out they were defective. The second level tech offered a new Iphone 16e at no cost to offset all the time I spent on the 14. Turns out the 16e wouldn't activate either. I made a bet with the third Verizon tech that I had to activate the phone on a cell tower signal, which we do not receive at our house. This same problem happened with the Iphone 8 I traded in. My wife said to quit wasting my time with all these super knowledgeable Verizon techs and go to a tower. Of course, she was right. I got tech three to call me back and she promised she would share this new knowledge with all other Verizon techs. Yeah, right. I think these Iphone 14's are a good buy.

I really have enjoyed my new iPhone. I love the lavender color.. it works as described in description no issues. They offer great customer service if you have any questions or concerns.. It arrived in perfect condition when I received it it was ready to set up in use no issues no worries no confusion. I have been using it for a little while now and it works perfectly. I will definitely offer for family and friends and others who are looking for a good device. Thank you.
