Apple iPhone 16 Plus, 128GB, Black - Locked to Cricket (Renewed)

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

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.

STAY AWAY FROM YY WIRELESS!! I would strongly caution buyers about purchasing network-locked phones from YY Wireless. After purchasing a phone from them, I discovered that the device could not be unlocked for use with my carrier. When I raised the issue, YY Wireless explained that some of their devices may have an unpaid balance associated with the original owner and may not be eligible for unlocking. What concerns me most is that this is being presented as a normal condition of purchasing a locked device. There is a significant difference between a phone simply being network locked and a phone potentially being permanently restricted because of an unpaid balance belonging to someone who previously owned it. I did not purchase the phone from the original owner, and I certainly did not agree to assume someone else's financial obligation to a carrier. If a device may be permanently ineligible for unlocking because of a previous owner's unpaid balance, I believe that should be prominently and unmistakably disclosed before purchase—not explained only after a customer discovers the problem. Their response also emphasized that the phones are ethically sourced and that the company is committed to responsible recycling. That's commendable, but it doesn't address the actual issue: whether the device being sold is fully usable as a customer would reasonably expect. Based on my experience and their own explanation, I would recommend that buyers carefully verify the exact lock and unlock status of any phone purchased from YY Wireless before assuming it can eventually be used with another carrier. Buyer beware.

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 purchased the iPhone 16 Plus (256 GB) and received a unit in excellent condition. There was no cosmetic damage on the body or screen, except for a very small nick on the metal housing around one of the camera lenses. Since the mark was not on the lens itself, it hasn’t affected photo quality at all. Everything else matched the listing exactly. The sensors, cameras, storage capacity, and overall condition were all as promised. The battery health was 98% maximum capacity at 284 cycles when I received it (a cycle means the equivalent of using 100% of the battery’s capacity, not necessarily all at once). After using the phone as my daily driver for over a month, it’s now 96% at 301 cycles, which is still very solid for a refurbished device. Overall, this ended up being a great purchase and I’d consider it well worth the price.

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.

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 🩷✨

I love it it came with a cycle count of just two ! Had one small scratch I barely could tell on the screen couldn’t see it after I put a protector, after using it daily 24/7 heavy use still I. Perfect condition and 100% battery’s capacity, quick charging, loud speakers, literally like a brand new phone !

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
