Apple iPhone 16 Plus, 256GB, Black - Locked to Cricket (Renewed)

Very happy with it, only few scratches on the sides of the phone and slight scruff on camera, I ordered good quality instead of excellent and it was worth it. 91% battery and 600 some cycles, very glad I got it, cute color, was worried I should’ve gotten the pink one.

When it arrived, the phone looked clean. I didn’t see much wrong with the edges or anything like that, though it wouldn’t have mattered much since I was putting a case on it anyway. I also bought a screen protector. While applying the screen protector, I noticed that wiping the screen down with the alcohol wipe revealed a visible scratch, at first I thought it was just glue residue, but it was an actual scratch. Oddly, once the screen dried, that same scratch was no longer visible, the screen looked uniform with no visible marks. Amazon does note that “Acceptable” condition phones may have visible scratches, but in my case it was only visible while wet, not once dry. When I powered it on and started transferring my data, the phone got noticeably hot, which worried me at first. After some research, I found this is a commonly reported and normal occurrence, phones tend to run hot during initial setup while everything downloads and syncs. Later on, I discovered the screen had actually been repaired at some point, since checking the settings confirmed it wasn’t an Apple-certified part. That said, this is expected when buying a refurbished “Acceptable” condition phone through Amazon. None of these things ended up mattering. The phone works perfectly — it’s a great iPhone 16 Plus, camera quality is excellent, and I’ve had no issues. Overall, a 10/10 experience. All those issues are irrelevant in day-to-day use.

I dont typically write reviews but I have reached out to techdeals4less more than once and have received automated responses. I ordered this under the Amazon renewed premium and the phone i received does not meet the promised condition. I wasn't expecting a brand new phone but I was expecting that there wouldnt be deep scratches on the body or a scratched screen, let alone a screen that doesn't sit flush with the body. If the screen wasnt janky it wouldn't have been deal, the rest could be fixed by slapping on a case. Unfortunately since the screen is literally popping off the phone is no longer water resistant and im not sure if it was a poor installation or if the battery is swelling and now at risk of thermal runaway. When I requested to return it for a refund I was not provided with a prepaid shipping label but told I had to pay the shipping cost. I shouldn't be out any money to return a product that was well below the promised standards. I would recommend avoiding purchasing these phones as there is no quality control to ensure that you will receive a product that's up to the standard that is promised.

I have had an 11 pro max for 4 years that I purchased off of amazon and before that I had an XR from Amazon for a few years, Amazon hasn’t let me down when it comes to phones but always check reviews first!! I finally needed an upgrade after the 11 being discontinued and some apps not being available, I finally purchased the 16 plus, I had a green 11 and wanted to switch up phone colors and went with pink. I am NOT disappointed 😁 the pink is beautiful! The phone is in perfect condition with %100 battery which is not exactly what I was expecting or looking for but it is nice to have. My battery doesn’t make it under %50 by the time I go to bed, I doom scroll on tiktok sometimes if that gives you an idea🤣 the phone had a charger in the box but not a charging block (c-port to c-port) so if you do not have one you may need to purchase it separately! It advertised it as unlocked, and it connected my service provider without any issues! (Sorry for long message, I take this seriously and would honestly appreciate seeing more in depth reviews on serious purchases!) Has cool new haptic button witch other options, a new camera button, and a upgraded screen and interface features! I have already dropped the phone a couple times and I’ve had it for a couple weeks now, pretty durable. (I added a photo I took with the camera on the new phone

BEST PHONE EVERRR! It’s so PERFECT! I love the color, how big it is & the best part is the battery is at 100%. I’m in love with my new pink iPhone 🩷✨

The phone is good quality, very durable and and camera work just fine. The screen seems to have a bit of a delay when tapping one or two parts of the screen but it’s nothing major. But it was definitely worth the price. No scratches on the screen or back of the phone, just light scratches on the corners of the phone but that can be covered by any phone case.

Quality came better than expected, and I was very satisfied with what I got. I’m currently using the phone to make this review and it’s basically a brand-new phone fr.

So far so good. The screen had a slight scratch but you can’t see it unless you really look for it. The phone is much faster than my old phone. Worth it in my opinion.

El celular venía en muy buenas condiciones, pero venía bloqueado, solo se podía activar con una compañía en EU, así que lo regresé

I’ve had this phone for a little over 2 weeks now and so far I haven’t had any issues, I will update IF there are any. There is a scratch on the screen but nothing super noticeable unless you’re REALLY looking for it. It arrived quickly, the phone itself was very clean, has 100% battery life and came with a charger but no block! It doesn’t matter to me about the block but I just thought I would add that note for anyone that might not have a proper block. I love the colour and everything about the phone, very very happy with my iPhone 16 plus❤️.

Llegó en excelentes condiciones con estetica 10/10, bien empaquetado y funcionando perfecto, me encanta. Lo he usado durante 10 días y hasta ahora todo muy bien. Llego con 100% de vida util de batería.

Everything is working right, and the battery life is quite good

Great phone, amazing price
