iPhone 12 Mini 64GB Blue Refurbished product

Before an iPhone 12 Mini appears in our range, it goes to our partners. They check every function, replace worn components if needed and clean it carefully. You get a fully working phone that may show only minor signs of previous use.

Swapping means you hand over your current phone and pick a refurbished model that better suits your needs instead. You come out ahead financially and choose a greener option, because you help cut down on electronic waste.

On a single charge, the iPhone 12 Mini easily gets through a full day of typical use – browsing websites, watching videos or making calls. Before the phone goes on sale, we check the condition of the battery to make sure everything works comfortably and without issues.

The iPhone 12 Mini has a 5.4-inch screen. That makes it very compact and comfortable to hold, while still leaving enough room to use apps and watch content with ease.

Power goes into the iPhone 12 Mini through its Lightning connector. For quick and safe top-ups, pair a suitable Lightning cable with a USB-C wall adapter delivering no less than 20W.

Out of the factory, the iPhone 12 Mini meets the IP68 standard, which means resistance to submersion down to 6 metres for up to 30 minutes. The phone has been refurbished, though, so we can't guarantee it is still fully sealed. Better not take it into the shower or test its resistance in a pool.

To switch off the iPhone 12 Mini, press the button on the right-hand side together with either volume button. When the power-off slider appears on the display, drag it with your finger and the phone will shut down.

Grabbing a screenshot on the iPhone 12 Mini takes a split second: press the side button and the volume-up button together, then let go of both straight away. When the display flickers briefly, the finished screenshot lands in your photo gallery automatically.

Both eSIM and a physical nano-SIM card are supported by the iPhone 12 Mini. Versions offering both are sold in most markets, yet it pays to confirm this before purchase – particularly if a traditional physical SIM card is your preference.
