There is no hard and fast rule for when Apple will start selling refurbished products of a previously released device. Sometimes this happens quite quickly after the initial release, and sometimes it takes a significant amount of time. Like the iPhone 12 mini, which is just now available as a refurbished product directly from Apple.
The iPhone 12 mini, the smallest variant of the 2020 iPhone, went on sale in October of that year. This means that there are only a few months left before the phone turns three years old. At the very least, this is a fairly long period of time between the launch and the release of an updated product.
But hey, better late than never.
Even so, the possibilities are very limited. While the iPhone 12 mini was available in a variety of colors including blue, purple, black, and green. It was also available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB variants. However, if you want to get a small Apple iPhone at a discount, you can only choose 128 GB in black from Apple’s online store.
A refurbished iPhone 12 mini costs $579. If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can also pick up the iPhone 12 mini as a new device in the aforementioned color parade for $649.
As with a refurbished Apple product, the device comes with Apple’s standard 1 year warranty, includes all accessories and manuals, a new outer case and battery, and a new white box. Refurbished iPhone 12 mini is unlocked and SIM free and has been rigorously tested.
