What happens if you buy your iPhone from Amazon

So I bought my iPhone from Amazon renewed, but it turned out to have a non-genuine Apple battery or third-party battery. I don’t know why or if it actually sells the iPhones with genuine batteries new so yeah that’s my piece of pie.

iPhone 12 mini

According to Apple, if you buy an Apple Certified Refurbished iPhone, you get

  • a new battery
  • a new outer shell
  • full functional testing, genuine Apple part replacements (if needed), and a thorough cleaning
  • all accessories and cables repackaged in a brand‑new box

"Products sold on Amazon Renewed are professionally inspected and tested to meet quality standards by an Amazon qualified and performance-managed supplier. If that supplier is a third-party seller, the third-party seller tests and inspects the product."


Even if you pay for a Premium Condition product, you might get a battery with 91% of battery life left. An Amazon Renewed product in Excellent, Good, or Acceptable condition might have only 81% of battery life left.
