Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen, 128GB, Starlight (Renewed)

Have only ever had 2 iPhones over the years - a 4s and 6s - and they were perfect for what I needed: phone, msg, email, web browsing and a few apps like home banking. Ran each one until they were de-supported via needing later versions of iOS. So, this refurbed iPhone SE 64Gb continues to meet my need perfectly as it supports latest iOS V26 and Apps. It is a great peice of kit, A-rate Refurb, quick and no issues in moving from my 6s & all at around 10% of the cost of a new iPhone! Sure, if you use your iPhone for much more i.e music, streaming, gamng e.t.c then the latest versions could make sense for the additional 90%. However, if you have basic needs then this iPhone SE is perfect hence 5-stars.

Initially I didn’t expect too much at the price for the phone with 12 months guarantee for the price paid.. however when it arrived looking like a new phone and a battery of 100% I was pleasantly surprised.. the delivery lead time and packaging was exceptional.. having been using it for a while now my opinion has not changed and a couple of friends have already bought from the same supplier.. I would say that it’s important to buy a screen protector and phone case .. both of the ones I bought are also on the ball ., great battery life , totally scratch free ,value for money, screen quality as if Apple Original.. what more can I say..

The phone is in perfect condition, however I was disappointed to discover the battery is not an apple product.

With the hot weather and an upcoming holiday I wanted a small phone which would easily fit in pocket of shorts. (Keeping large phone to use as a mini tablet). Wanted to have 5g connectivity for prompt notifications in airports etc. The iPhone SE 5g 3rd Gen was the ideal choice and as a refurbished phone even more suitable since from new they would invariably have been bought by "light use users". Phone arrived promptly and well packaged with a new third party charging lead. Condition exactly as advertised with no visible defects from 300mm. In fact none even close up. Delighted to find it had 100% battery condition on aftermarket battery. Updated to the latest available iOS 26.5.2 software with no issues and swiftly transferred all data and apps from iCloud. Will update review after it's been used for a while but for about £100 for a 5g iPhone running on the latest software if it only lasted until the end of summer I would still be happy.

My advice would be avoid this company (JQ Solutions). When the iPhone arrived it looked fine - but I soon started noticing minor issues with the phone, such as the battery not seeming to last much longer than that of the old iPhone I'd bought it to replace? Foolishly, I did nothing about it. I had just had to deal with being scammed by the previous company (Techbros) that I had tried to buy a refurbished iPhone from, and I just couldn't face going through all that faff again. Techbros hadn't sent me any phone at all, so complaining about the battery life of this one seemed like nitpicking. But over the subsequent months things have deteriorated further, and now the phone frequently struggles to connect to wifi at all. Only endlessly toggling Airplane Mode on and off seems to fix it - and sometimes even that doesn't work! I now feel that I've been scammed in a whole different way: I was sent an iPhone but it hadn't been refurbished - not properly at least. So once again I didn't get I'd paid for. After looking up other reviews for this company, half the customers seem very happy with their purchase while the other half are outraged by the false promises and appalling customer service - with very few experiences in-between. I'm not sure what explains this hit-or-miss performance (the good reviews don't seem less-genuine that the bad ones), but it clearly isn't good enough. Take your custom elsewhere guys!

Had received a different reconditioned one that didn’t work properly and had to be returned so I was concerned about buying another one. However I’m very pleased with this phone, looks like new although 85% battery. Excellent value for money.

Ordered in the morning via Prime delivered by evening. In excellent condition just fingerprints no visible damage as described. Got it working, no problems so far. Really pleased lost previous one and was worried ordering refurbished one or as described by Amazon a renewed one. I will update if any problems but so far a happy new owner great purchase for great price. Thank you Amazon fingers crossed it will continue to work as now.

I was nervous about buying this phone as the reviews were not very good. I needed a new phone as my I phone 8 was not working properly but couldn’t afford Toby a new phone. So i thought I would take a risk and glad I did. The phone had no scratches on it and worked properly. Was easy to transfer from one phone to another. Glad I took the risk
