Apple iPhone 8 (64GB, Gold)

I’m not in love with the Apple brand phone, and have never used one so maybe using a refurbished iPhone before a brand new one doesn’t help me like my experience, but here is my month and 3 weeks experience with this particular phone. It’s a nice enough phone but for refurbished I figured bugs and ticks would’ve been fixed. However, the camera doesn’t focus very well unless you’re in selfie mode. Scrolling can be obnoxious. Moving in either direction, even slowly, I end up having to go back because it skips several things, so looking for something in particular can take twice as long as it should which makes it frustrating. The charging block they sent with it lasted only a month and three weeks. For the first few days I was disappointed because I didn’t realize ... MoreI’m not in love with the Apple brand phone, and have never used one so maybe using a refurbished iPhone before a brand new one doesn’t help me like my experience, but here is my month and 3 weeks experience with this particular phone. It’s a nice enough phone but for refurbished I figured bugs and ticks would’ve been fixed. However, the camera doesn’t focus very well unless you’re in selfie mode. Scrolling can be obnoxious. Moving in either direction, even slowly, I end up having to go back because it skips several things, so looking for something in particular can take twice as long as it should which makes it frustrating. The charging block they sent with it lasted only a month and three weeks. For the first few days I was disappointed because I didn’t realize that the charging block they sent was causing my phone to act like it was possessed while trying to use it. It didn’t even stay in the outlet like it should. Hated my new-to-me phone but because I was in a bind I stuck it out. It finally quit charging at all two days ago. Bought a new ONN. brand charging block yesterday and I’m quite surprised at how crappy that other block was. I can actually use the phone and I feel better about my purchase. I highly recommend that whomever buys a phone from this company, make sure you buy a new charger. It makes all the difference in the experience. Adding photos of the block they sent (smaller one) and the one I just bought (bigger).

The phone showed up in 2 days which is great and without any blemishes on the device which is wonderful. I opened the box and inserted my SIM card and inspected the phone and the problems that I ran into was 1. The phone battery life said service, I checked it and it said 77% which is horrible. Since it was refurbished you would think they will change out the battery. 2. When you go to take a picture with the phone the camera is jumpy like your hands are not study or you have parkinsons and the camera zooms in and out without you even applying those functions. 3. The in call phone volume is horrible. I have to talk to people on speaker phone and even that does not help because after a while during my phone call the party on the other side of the call can not hear me ... MoreThe phone showed up in 2 days which is great and without any blemishes on the device which is wonderful.

I am not sure who inspected these phones or why Walmart would use a third party and not inspect the phone but Im very dissatisfied. And the kicker I bought the 2 year protection plan through All-State and I still seem not to be able to be helped with an exchange of this phone or a full refund and I just purchased this phone. Im in the 14 day window. I would not recommend buying this device. Maybe you will have better luck than me but to save you time and money your better going through a certified refurbished deal or offer up. I bought another one on offer up and almost paid the exact same price as I did for this device and the protection plan and that device works like it was purchased out of the Apple store.

I bought this phone as a backup to use for a work account while working out of country. I received the item on June 10th, June 11th I fully set it up and before Im halfway through setting up the phone the button starts getting extremely hot to the touch.. contact seller with no response. I wait several days as I dont need the phone quite yet, try again and its dead (low battery mode in a cool dry place with no usage).. charge it and try again. Start setting up apps that Ill be using and it gets warm but not as bad but I notice the battery life is terrible, fully charged it and its at 20% within 10 minutes. Contacted seller again, no response..Finally need to use the phone for work and it is worthless. Battery life is worse now somehow and its blazing hot to the ... MoreI bought this phone as a backup to use for a work account while working out of country.

Contacted seller again, no response..Finally need to use the phone for work and it is worthless. Battery life is worse now somehow and its blazing hot to the touch within minutes of starting up. Most apps do not work even though theyre compatible and it doesnt open or close apps properly, speaker is wonky, and consistently rejects the T-Mobile SIM card.. try an international SIM card.. rejects it and have to re-log (full Apple ID) in every time the phone screen turns off and on. Contacted seller again for a third time today now that Im back stateside after not being able to use the phone at all since arrival of item.
