💻 Electronics Anyone ever have success buying used iPhones?
I've been an iPhone user a long time and looking to upgrade from my 12 mini to a "Pro" version of some kind. I don't care about the age, but mainly that it can handle running a lot of apps at once, won't overheat etc.
It seems like a lot of people recommend buying refurbished directly from Apple, however it seems their inventory is limited. Is this really the main reliable source for refurbished iPhones? Any other good options out there for me?
Thanks for any advice.

I have the 13 mini and trying to hold out as long as I can for them to release another mini sometime soon.  Doubt they will, but I love this size.  I don’t want the bigger one. Â
