## Description

Apple iPhone 13 Mini, 128GB, Midnight - Unlocked (Renewed)

Review: iPhone 13 mini is everything I ever wanted. - I’m writing this review with a few caveats I will get to. First of all, the iPhone 13 mini is truly the best iPhone for people who want a phone that feels like a phone and not like they are carrying around a tablet. I have been using the iPhone 16 Pro since it came out and had no idea what I was missing in this older model until I was talking to a friend about his. He told me it was the best phone ever made and he would not get rid of his until he couldn’t get replacement parts or unless they made a new updated mini, which it sounds like they have no plans to do (a shame). I was telling him that I have been traveling with work and when I’m pulling a bag, I need to be able to work my phone well with one hand. The 16 Pro is not good for this. I don’t like cases, I don’t want to use a pop socket - I just want a pretty sleek unencumbered iPhone. So I was on a mission and it’s not an easy one when you’re picky about the condition and the phone can only be found in the used/renewed/refurbished channels. I had hesitations about buying from desertcart resale because of other items I’ve gotten from them that didn’t seem like they were inspected. I took a risk. I purchased the starlight 256gb from desertcart (not a marketplace seller). It was still a pretty penny considering the age of the mini, but the minis hold their value due to the cult following they have. I received it and it was absolutely perfect - didn’t look like it had ever been used, though the battery capacity was 85%…which was okay but nothing wonderful. In the meantime, I decided I would prefer the 512gb since I plan to keep this a long time, so I decided to order one, also from desertcart resale, since the 256 was in such pristine condition and I knew I had 90 days to decide regardless. The 512gb through desertcart was a crazy price…marked as excellent but over $550 with taxes (I had paid $330 for the 256gb). Cut to a day later, I see that a seller has the 512 starlight marked as excellent and it was $385. I reached out to them and asked them about the battery health and they were wonderful - got back to me really quickly and said 99%. So I thought, well, for $385 vs $550, I’ll cancel the desertcart order and order this one. Unfortunately it was too late to cancel the desertcart one - it had already shipped - so my intention was to just send it straight back as soon as it was delivered. The one from the actual cellphone reseller got here quickly and for the price, was represented well - it did have 2 corners with blemishes that look like they’re from a drop, but they weren’t terrible but having seen the pristine 256gb version from desertcart, I was being overly picky. The battery was 100%, as they had told me, which was great, but what I noticed was the screen had been replaced. I’m okay with screen replacements - any phone from 2021 has probably had one, as well as any battery that shows 100% on a phone from 2021 is a replaced battery. These are not bad things. What I do know from having a screen replaced years ago through one of the shops that uses an aftermarket part is the screens are not as flat as apple’s genuine screen if you get a replacement from them. It almost has waves in it, especially along the edges. They look fine if you aren’t picky to the degree I am, or looking at the phone from an angle, but I’ve found they are not always reliable screens with regard to the responsiveness. As soon as I saw this, I packed it back up and set up a return through the seller and took it straight to the UPS store. Cut to my next desertcart delivery, the 512gb model that I had been unable to cancel arrives. Since the one from the reseller didn’t work out for me, I said, well, let’s check this out because if it’s perfect, then I guess it’s worth the $550 spent. Open it up and WOW! The body of it is just like the 256 I had gotten. Pristine - not a drop ding or scratch in sight. Perfect screen…remarkable…but I wanted to check the battery. When I got it up and running, I checked the battery capacity and it was at 100%. Under the battery details it even lists it as a Genuine battery, so it was “renewed” with Apple OEM. I could not be more thrilled even though it cost way more than a phone from 2021 should. But I’m keeping it for the long haul so it’s worth it knowing I don’t have a battery replacement in the near future. I’ve got the 90 days to see how it functions but I feel pretty good about this one. TL;DR - the iPhone mini is a phone you will be addicted to after use. It’s so functional and what a “phone” should be. Do not hesitate to order one shipped from and sold by desertcart.com. I can confirm they have fantastic quality control when it comes to their phones. If you pick a reseller other than desertcart, just make sure you get the 90 day return and that there aren’t “restocking” fees buried in their policies.
Review: I was skeptical, but this exceeded my expectations. - Honestly, I was quite skeptical at first. I've never bought or used an desertcart Renewed product (from desertcart NOT 3rd party), nor did I have much expectations for them, let alone an Apple iPhone of all things. So I bought this iPhone 13 mini (Pink) as an "open box" renewed product with the condition being classified as "mint" for $250.40 after taxes fully expecting to be disappointed when it arrived. The only items that were included with the phone was a charging cable (lightning to USB type A). It was literally open box, there was no wrapping on the product. There were a few extremely minor nicks on the phone that from afar couldn't be seen at all (you can reference photos) which also could've occurred during shipping since the phone and charging cable were literally together loosely in the box. The phone came pretty much as advertised, fully unlocked carrier, not iCloud locked, and completely factory reset. Phone started up without needing to charge which is a good sign that it hasn't really sat there that long. Battery health displayed 89% and I ran a full diagnostics on the phone to verify part integrity and legitimacy and found no problems. Face ID, Apple Pay, charging port, etc. all functioned with full marks. From reading how desertcart classifies the quality of their renewed products, it very much seems like this phone either WAS a premium condition tier, or just barely missed to cut to be one. My only gripe with this is that I felt like this isn't really considered mint condition but even then, how can I complain? The phone pretty much looks flawless. For those of you interested in the iPhone 13 mini and was wondering about the size, I included size comparison with an iPhone 15 Pro Max. If you're looking for a cheaper and more reliable place to buy a used iPhone, at least from this experience alone I would definitely recommend purchasing from desertcart Renewed. Just make sure to do your research and look out for cheap repairs on the product you're buying. For iPhones, if the screen sits far above the casing of the phone you most likely have a cheap LCD screen replacement on there (they should be pretty much flushed). Good luck to anyone buying, hope your experiences goes as well as mines did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Received The Wrong Color
*by C***S on October 5, 2026*

Ordered a “renewed” iPhone 13 Mini 512GB in Red. Received a white phone but whatever. The only reason I ordered a red one was because it was the cheapest color for some reason. Phone has some small nicks/scratches on the metal frame but the screen and back look to be damage free and the battery maximum capacity is 100% so I’m satisfied.
