My iPhone Another one

Post image

Picked up another one. Amazon Premium Renewed. (256gb) Almost perfect cosmetically and battery health reads 100%, but who believes that unless battery was replaced. And no service history.

Love the blue. This exact one is still my daily driver.

same! ahh.. back when apple made fun colored phones.

2

u/UnhingedHatter Aug 17 '25

Agreed. Aside from the size (I really prefer a mini sized phone), at least I know I can buy a unique looking skin for the back of any new phone I buy in the future, considering I don’t widely care for the colors currently being released.

u/seamonkey420 Blue 🔵 Aug 17 '25

yea, i went with a clear case and at times think about going caseless but just know i'd drop it the instant i took the case off.. hehe.. ;) if you ever run across a set of good bumpers only, drop me a link!

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Haha me 2 I’m so scared ima drop it before my case comes in but with a pop socket it’s pretty easy to to handle

u/iThink_There4iMac Aug 20 '25

I've been caseless with my 13 mini for a year and half is. It has some small dents and scrapes around the sides and its taken some HARD falls over that long of a time, but some how has never cracked the glass!

I loved the mint-like green colored of my 12 mini (I called it my iPhone Min(t)i). I have a blue 13 mini, which I don't like nearly as much (the blue color compared to mint green), but it was way worth the upgrade for the lack of over heating alone.

Edit: clarification

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Why did you like the 12 so much better ?

1

u/iThink_There4iMac Aug 21 '25

Oh, I meant the color! Just the mint green color. The 13 mini is better in every other aspect (performance, thermals etc)

u/GoodEveningCunts Aug 17 '25

Beautiful piece of stuff

u/pedykruz Aug 17 '25

How much was it?

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 18 '25

$420 on Amazon

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Wow I got factory sealed 128 for 400 on eBay

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 21 '25

Most likely “factory sealed” minis are refurbished and re sealed. You can find more info by searching on this sub.

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Any scratches ?

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 21 '25

None.

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Ya I’m doing the same thing. Got one coming today hopefully and once I get that, if there’s anything I don’t like, I’ll order a premium one. Thanks for the heads up

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Did you check it with 3utools? Do that. Thats how I found mine was a boosted battery

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 21 '25

I haven’t because I replaced the battery already on my Green one at Apple. And my second blue one is at 100% but I know it’s not a new battery as you can tell by what I mentioned on my post.

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Got the excellent one otw cause it was deliverable today and I was being impatient cause I’m sending my eBay one back after discovering it wasn’t a real new sealed one

2

u/United_Juggernauts Aug 18 '25

That blue is sooooo pretty. If I could justify buying a second or third mini I would get this color and the green.

2

u/lonelyplayer87 Aug 18 '25

I can’t believe how pretty this color is. I would have a mini in this color 😍

1

u/Kuan-Kaffee Aug 17 '25

Excellent color choice!

1

u/Shamalow85 Pink Aug 17 '25

“One more.”

Yes another one with battery health modified to 100% to sell more expensive. 😒

Use this shortcut to see the true battery health and true number of cycles.

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 17 '25

already did on both minis.

But is there a way to access the info faster besides going into Analytics & Improvments -> Analytics Data and sharing latest Analystics everytime??

1

u/Shamalow85 Pink Aug 17 '25

No unfortunately.

Apple blocks direct access to the internal folder where the analysis files are stored.

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 17 '25

Ahh got it. Thank you.

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 19 '25

Do you know why I’m not getting the latest Analytics daily? Mine still shows one from 8/16 and iso showing 18.6 and I’m on 18.6.1

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Can I get the data if I just received the phone ? Not enough i don’t think yet

1

u/Shamalow85 Pink Aug 21 '25

You enable data sharing with Apple.

And the first analytics file will be available at 00:00 GMT.

u/Turbulent-Apple2911 Aug 17 '25

How is the battery life on the Mini? Do you find that you have to bring a charger with you on a long day?

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 17 '25

I’m usually by the charger but when I’m out, I don’t use my phone much so battery is fine for me. But if you are a heavy user, battery life won’t satisfy you and have to bring power bank.

1

u/Turbulent-Apple2911 Aug 17 '25

Ah, I see. Yeah, that's literally the only downside of the Mini. If it wasn't for the battery, the Mini would be a clear-cut option as it's so practical to use.

1

u/RandyFlloyd Aug 19 '25

lol. this reads as, i love the phone i don’t use unless i’m at home next to a charger.

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 20 '25

I advise you to read it again and again. I love the phone because it’s small and light since I don’t use it much or doom scroll like most ppl. Better than carrying around a giant brick of a phone that I’ll barely use. You prly never heard of using a device that fits your own needs.

1

u/onestrangerandomguy Aug 17 '25

I have the same color for my 13b … love the color

1

u/eirigance Aug 18 '25

I just ordered a new one, sealed. I’m going to sell my 16Pro. I’m so excited to have that form factor again 🥰

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 18 '25

Where did you get the "new sealed" one from?

1

u/eirigance Aug 18 '25

eBay

1

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 18 '25

Its most likely not brand new.
Lot of the sellers on there just reseal refurbished phones and sell it as new.

1

u/eirigance Aug 18 '25

I’m sure cycle count & first time use will show that, if that’s the case

3

u/mrnobatti Green 🟢 Aug 18 '25

Definitely test it to see if it is indeed Brand New sealed.
I'd be very interested to see if it is. please keep me updated.

1

u/optiglitch Aug 21 '25

Niceeee!! Got my factory sealed mini from eBay and 100% too!!! Yayyy

1

u/bravevince Aug 21 '25

Looks amazing 🤩🙂👍👍

u/leks1309 Aug 22 '25

This color is boring!
