How does this compare to an 11 pro which I own
27th Feb
The 12 pro at this price is the sweet spot for value at the moment, I stopped buying new iphones years ago around the X when they went to silly money brand new. Now I trade every 12-18 months for something like this.

You should get £250 on ebay for a 11 pro in good condition, so after quidco this upgrade costs you £100.

The 12 pro has a bigger screen, better CPU, 6GB RAM (11 pro has 4GB), 5G connectivity and a slightly tweaked camera as the main improvements.

Whether or not that's important to you is another matter, the way I look at it is that I trade up for a 1 year newer device for about £100, likely to have a better battery than mine and generally work a bit quicker and be supported for longer.

If you hold on to the 11 pro for another year it'll likely be worth £100 less anyway so in that respect the upgrade over the long run is "free".

80%battery = 1/2 day battery life. Honestly
26th Feb
Likely true. The Mrs is complaining about her 1 year old iPhone 12's battery life, being nowhere near what it was new. I checked its health - 90% supposedly. This would be acceptable if walk-in while-u-wait OEM battery replacement were possible without resort the the Cretin Bar. (edited)

I have got my phone and no scratches at all but the battery drain very fast despite showing me the capacity 100%!!!!

Happened to me once with one of their phones. Not an original battery? I didn't get any report in the settings for a non-OEM battery, but my handset was losing power rapidly, I had to return it.
26th Feb
Bought one of these on Thursday for my husband, it arrived without a mark on it, battery life was 97%. He's very pleased.
26th Feb
what condition and storage?
27th Feb
Another second hand phone deal made more palatable by listing it as a refurbished phone with a big company. I found a second hand car on eBay the other day that was decent can I list that? How about an exercise bike I found on gumtree? It’s refurbished I’ll ask them to wipe the dust off and spray some detol on it (edited)
27th Feb
If they provide warranty and ship nationally and have multiple identical units in stock - I don’t see why not
27th Feb
Freezing cold.

The absolute state of some of the phones arriving on the other "deal" wouldn't even give them scrap value for it.

Cold cold cold.

256 GB for 10 pounds more. No brainer.
26th Feb
£20 more it seems
26th Feb
Is the 13 Pro significantly better than this?
Author
26th Feb
I doubt itll be that much… though i own a 12 pro and perfectly happy.
the refurbished iphone 13 pro are just under £700 still, with this its under £400..
worth the £300 or so for a few more options?

you can compare directly on the apple website.. link Here (edited)
27th Feb
I’m always concerned the screens have been replaced with cheaper poor quality screens. Do these guarantee apple parts used in replacements or is it just a lottery?
27th Feb
If your that fussed then this isn't the route for you. Get a certified refurb, you can't really be that fussy at the stated prices for these units,
28th Feb
I've posted my thoughts on giffgaff refurbs before - it truly is a lottery, with a huge higher chance of you receiving a crap battery/phone (e.g scratches) than a good one. I read a couple of people here saying they've got a 98% battery - that's amazing but you're in the minority! you've lucked out.

I've ordered 3-4 phones from giffgaff refurb before I give up on them. Every time, I had battery health issues. Anything less than 90% really isn't good especially if you rely on your phone a lot. I had one phone that arrived on X amount of battery health and within weeks it was dropping - clearly a bad/dodgy phone. I've had non-Apple parts in them etc. The juice isn't worth the squeeze imo.

Good luck to those who buy it , but do expect to return it because having spoken to friends who have ordered, and my own experience, and reading experiences on here, the odds aren't in your favour.
28th Feb
I've received mine... Condition is excellent and battery is 89%... Is 89% battery health decent or on its way out?
28th Feb
The phone I have replaced was at 86% but the battery still mostly lasted the full day depending on how much I used it.
I received mine today, screen and back cover spotless, but the stainless steel surround is scratched. Battery life 100%. Happy with that
27th Feb
128gb pro ordered last night. Arrived 1pm today. It was another “good” condition one - however arrived in pristine condition, not a scratch on the case or screen. Battery also at 100%!!
27th Feb
Got mine today. It’s absolutely pristine (seriously can’t find a mark on it) on the outside, so was a bit disappointed to find battery health at 88%.

Still trying to decide whether I keep it or not…
27th Feb
Just realised they’ve somehow sent me a 512gb instead of 128gb, so decision made: it’s staying
26th Feb
Nice. Just placed an order for the iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G (refurbished - GOOD) 256GB graphite for £439.

Currently rocking my gf’s hand-me-down from about 5yrs ago (iPhone 7 32gb).

Long overdue an upgrade!
26th Feb
Seems a pretty stonking price to be honest.
26th Feb
Just bought a 12 Pro Max with 265GB, cheers OP
26th Feb
I bought one the other day was going to wait to see the condition before I posted. Nearly bought the max & nearly went for the 256 (but wanted the colour I got)
Gutted to see 400+ degrees, but good post op👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
27th Feb
Have you received it yet? What was the condition & battery health like?
26th Feb
Bought a 12 Pro Max with 256gb , cheers
27th Feb
All gone now . As per , I dithered too long.
hope you all saw the £40 Quidco cash back (edited)
26th Feb
Great phone. Noticeable upgrade over my previous XS.
26th Feb
256gb sold out now
26th Feb
How decent are these condition wise? Never bought giffgaff refurbished before
26th Feb
Mmm I bought an oppo Reno 8 pro Friday for £324 like new, it's coming tomorrow. Would this be better ?
27th Feb
Yes
27th Feb
Is that unlocked?
27th Feb
Yes
27th Feb
I bought last night for my son an iPhone 13 for £395. Will the 12 Pro be better for £375?
27th Feb
where did you get 13 for that price? I am looking for an iphone for my mum's birthday and 13 would be perfect
27th Feb
Sorry to ask are these usually unlocked too all networks
27th Feb
Yes. It’s illegal for phones to be locked now
27th Feb
Anyone received theirs yet? Interested to know the condition as I went for a 12 Pro Max yesterday. Giffgaff seem to be a lottery when it comes to phone condition.
27th Feb
I got mine earlier - a small nick in the screen at the top and battery is at 90% health. Hard to tell whether to keep it or not.. be good to hear more experiences.
27th Feb
As per the giffgaff experience it seems you're in the middle. It's amazing how these refurb phone retailers can send out phones that are scratched to bits, slightly damaged or pristine under the same 'grading'. (edited)
27th Feb
Bought the 256gb iPhone 12 pro .
Small scratch on screen, battery life 98%
27th Feb
Very lucky
27th Feb
kind of risky going for GOOD only. can those be returned for whatever reason? thx
27th Feb
12 Pro 256GB (not max) arrived today. Screen was bad, full of scratches and battery 88%. It’s going back
27th Feb
That's not good, and I'd be sending it back as well. What condition was it meant to be in?
27th Feb
Good is OOS
27th Feb
3 silver in stock now
28th Feb
I just received mine today, 256 GB. No scratches and 95% battery. I might keep this one.
28th Feb

28th Feb
Back in stock..
