This is the second phone I’ve ordered from RefurbLane, I recommend them to EVERYONE! Not only are they reducing waste, but you can’t beat their prices either!! I ordered the iPhone 12 mini in “fair” condition, and it showed up looking brand new with only a few teeny scratches on the body! For $150 you seriously can’t beat it. I’ve never had issues with the longevity of their refurbished phones, my previous one lasted almost 5 years. The battery capacity on this one is 80% and it has no problem getting through the whole day off a full charge. Everything works like it’s supposed to with zero issues! I love this company, I love this phone, and I could NOT be happier :)

My IPhone 12 mini came in perfect condition, although, I ordered in Fair condition it came perfect, which I loved. The seller upkept this phone. It was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap, and came within two days. The phone also came with a charger, so I didn't have to buy one. I will be ordering again maybe a laptop or another phone.

I just needed a phone for my business nothing fancy. I picked fair for that reason and if this is a “fair” condition I can only imagine the “good” condition. The phone has no scratches no chips. Would’ve thought it was brand out the box new. 10/10 recommend. Will be buying from here for my business moving forward.

The last time I bought anything not from the Original manufacturer, I got scammed and lost $3K. Unsurprisingly, all my trust for third party sellers flew out the window. Especially on EBay (thanks for nothing). You can imagine how skeptical I was when l discovered this app whilst researching for an affordable iPhone to replace my buggy-as-all-hell Android Phone. I didn’t want anything brand spanking new just yet and seeing as Apple unfortunately doesn't make a compact iPhone anymore, buying one used was my only option. I pulled the trigger after about a week of contemplating and just prayed for the best. 2 days later after placing my order, I get the phone, and to my genuine surprise, my 12 Mini was in MINT condition, it even came with a glass screen protector! I chuckled thinking, "yeah no, this is too good to be true. What's the battery health?" I set it up and check the settings for anything out of the ordinary, but find nothing; It’s not Sim or ID locked, it isn’t stolen sounding off an alarm, the Camera and Microphones work flawlessly, the storage was as advertised and the battery health was at 84% which is good considering its age and if I want it brand new, it’s nothing that a simple visit to an Apple Store won’t fix. The phone works like new and looks it as well. I am genuinely surprised, especially considering its age and what I spent ($287). If you are hesitant like me, GOOD, it’s a great way to make sure you don’t lose your hard earned money. That being said however, even though I can’t speak for any other seller, given my personal experience with this transaction, I can say Wireless Source did a superb job and advertised it accurately, if not, understated it’s near flawless condition in hopes to impress, and impress they did.

Phone was delivered quickly, matched the condition described, AND has a brand new battery! I would definitely order from this seller again. Great value. Also RefurbLane has been outstanding with any refunds and customer service issues.

iPhone 12 mini questions, answered

Yes, the iPhone 12 mini is still worth buying in 2026, especially if compact size matters to you. It's one of only two truly compact flagship iPhones Apple ever built: the iPhone 13 mini was discontinued in 2023. The A14 Bionic chip handles iOS 26 and daily apps without lag, 5G and MagSafe keep it current, and refurbished prices start at $145 on RefurbLane versus $999.99 new. Battery life is the main trade-off. Our guide to which iPhone suits you best can help you decide.
The iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 share the same core hardware: A14 Bionic chip, dual 12MP cameras, 5G, MagSafe, Face ID, IP68, and iOS 26 support. The difference is size and battery.

Choose the 12 mini for maximum portability. Choose the iPhone 12 for longer battery life and a larger screen.
RefurbLane offers the iPhone 12 mini in four grades. Every grade is 100% functional, covered by a 1-year commercial warranty, and has passed up-to 100-point professional inspection. Differences are cosmetic only:
Fair (from $155): fully functional, may show visible screen marks or body scratches
Good (from $155): light cosmetic wear, barely noticeable in daily use
Excellent (from $169): minimal marks, near-pristine appearance
Premium (from $239): closest to new appearance, highest price point
Battery life is the iPhone 12 mini's biggest limitation. Its 2,227 mAh battery is the smallest in the iPhone 12 lineup: the iPhone 12 packs 2,815 mAh by comparison. For moderate users (calls, browsing, social media, music), it comfortably lasts a full day. Heavy users (gaming, streaming, GPS navigation) may need a mid-day charge. That 135g frame is the direct trade-off for the smaller battery, but MagSafe (up to 15W) and Qi wireless charging make topping up quick and easy.
Yes, every refurbished iPhone 12 mini on RefurbLane comes with the RefurbLane Promise:
1-year commercial warranty included on every order
30 days to change your mind, with free returns
100-point professional inspection before shipping
Every device guaranteed 100% functional, regardless of condition grade
Unlocked: works with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and all major US carriers
Yes, the iPhone 12 mini supports both 5G and MagSafe. US models cover sub-6 GHz and mmWave 5G, future-proofing the phone for current US network infrastructure. Apple launched it as "the world's smallest, thinnest, and lightest 5G phone." On the charging side, MagSafe delivers up to 15W wireless charging and works with the full MagSafe accessory ecosystem (cases, wallets, mounts). Standard Qi wireless charging is also supported.
The iPhone 12 mini comes in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. There's no microSD slot, so the size you pick at purchase is final.
64GB: suits light users who stream music and video and use iCloud for photos
128GB: the value sweet spot for most buyers, covering photos, apps, and some offline content
256GB: ideal for heavy photo and video users, large app libraries, or anyone who prefers to avoid cloud storage
