Delivering the purest refurbished tech

Refurbished iPhone 12 Mini

A refurbished, reconditioned, or pre-owned iPhone 12 Mini from Loop Mobile is more than a second-hand device. These iPhones have been previously owned but are restored to their original operational condition through extensive refurbishment. At Loop Mobile, "refurbished" stands for reliability, value, and quality assurance.

Our refurbishment process includes 75 detailed checks to ensure that everything from battery life to screen integrity meets our strict criteria. Whether the iPhone 12 Mini was returned shortly after purchase, traded in for the latest model, or sourced from our trusted partners, we ensure it’s in excellent condition before it reaches you. Choosing a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini means embracing top-tier technology while contributing to a greener planet.

Why Opt for a Refurbished iPhone 12 Mini?

Compact and Portable, Yet Powerful: The iPhone 12 Mini is perfect for users who prefer a smaller, more easily portable device without compromising on performance. Its 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display packs the same vibrant colours, deep blacks, and sharp details found on larger iPhone models. Despite its small size, the display delivers an immersive experience whether you're watching videos, browsing the web, or playing games. With the A14 Bionic chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 12 Pro models, the iPhone 12 Mini offers fast and efficient performance, easily handling multitasking, gaming, and productivity apps. It’s ideal for users who want high-end features in a more compact form.

Advanced Camera System for Stunning Photos and Videos: The iPhone 12 Mini has a dual-camera system featuring 12MP wide and ultra-wide lenses, allowing you to capture stunning photos with exceptional detail and colour accuracy. Thanks to Night mode, the device excels in low-light photography, available on front and rear cameras. Deep Fusion ensures your photos are rich in texture and detail, while Smart HDR 3 intelligently adjusts the lighting and contrast to create balanced, lifelike images. Whether you're capturing scenic landscapes, group photos, or selfies, the iPhone 12 Mini's camera delivers professional-quality results in a compact device.

5G Connectivity for Faster Downloads and Streaming: One of the key advantages of the iPhone 12 Mini is its support for 5G connectivity, making it future-proof for faster data speeds. Whether streaming high-definition content, downloading large files, or using video conferencing apps, 5G ensures smooth and fast performance. Even in areas with weaker signal strength, the iPhone 12 Mini is optimised to balance speed and power efficiency, ensuring reliable connectivity.

Sustainability and Savings: Choosing a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini helps reduce electronic waste while saving you money. Each device is refurbished to meet our high-quality standards, offering a premium experience at a fraction of the cost of a new phone. Each purchase helps keep a device out of landfills, contributing to a more sustainable planet.

I 100% recommend!

Amazing company. I bought an iPhone Xs 64gb Gold Fair condition straight from their website. It came looking mint, aside from this one scratch on the screen although it was barely even noticeable. Just great, 100% recommended

How do refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models differ from new iPhone 12 Mini models?

Refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models from Loop Mobile are pre-owned devices that have been meticulously restored to their original condition. Unlike new iPhone 12 Minis, which come directly from Apple, our refurbished units have undergone a previous lifecycle but have been thoroughly tested, repaired, and updated to ensure they function like new. The primary differences between new and refurbished iPhone 12 Minis are cosmetic conditions and price. Refurbished iPhone 12 Minis offer significant savings, often up to 70% off, while maintaining the same level of functionality and quality as a new device. This makes refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.

Are refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models reliable?

Yes, refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models from Loop Mobile are highly reliable. Each device goes through a comprehensive refurbishment process that includes 75 checks. This covers critical aspects like battery health, screen integrity, and overall performance. Our skilled technicians use genuine parts for any necessary repairs or replacements, ensuring that the iPhone 12 Mini performs like new. Additionally, every device comes with a 12-month warranty, providing peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.

What checks and tests do refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models go through?

Every refurbished iPhone 12 Mini at Loop Mobile goes through a thorough refurbishment process:

  • Data Wiping: We securely erase all previous data, ensuring your privacy and a clean slate for the new user.
  • Hardware Testing: We conduct 75 checks, including tests for battery life, screen responsiveness, button functionality, and connectivity features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G. The camera systems are also tested to ensure features like Night mode and Smart HDR 3 work perfectly.
  • Repairs and Upgrades: Any defective components are replaced. We ensure that the iPhone 12 Mini meets the highest standards of performance and durability.

Cosmetic Grading: Each iPhone 12 Mini is graded based on its cosmetic condition, ranging from Excellent to Fair, so customers can choose a device based on their preferences and budget.

What cosmetic conditions can I expect with a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini?

At Loop Mobile, refurbished iPhone 12 Mini models are graded based on their cosmetic condition for full transparency:

  • Excellent: Devices in excellent condition may have very light micro-scratches that are not noticeable with normal use. The screen may show slight signs of use, but these are invisible during operation. These devices have battery health of over 90%.
  • Good: Good condition devices have some light scratches on the body or possibly a small dent. The screen may show light signs of wear, but it remains fully functional. These devices have battery health of over 90%.
  • Fair: Fair condition devices show more pronounced cosmetic wear, such as deeper scratches or visible dents. The screen may have light scratches that are visible when the device is on. Despite the cosmetic imperfections, the device is fully functional with battery health over 90%.

Each grade reflects cosmetic condition only, as all iPhone 12 Mini models undergo the same rigorous testing to ensure they work perfectly.

What is the battery life of a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini?

The battery life of a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini from Loop Mobile is rigorously tested to meet our high standards. We guarantee that our devices come with at least 90% battery health, exceeding the typical 80% found with many refurbished devices. For those seeking even more assurance, we offer devices with a New Battery, providing 100% battery health. Alternatively, if you're a casual user looking for a budget-friendly option, you can opt for a device with an Original Battery that guarantees 80% battery health. We ensure that the battery performance is reliable for daily use.
