Best place to buy an iPhone 13 mini?

[Blackpuddin]

As per title, looking for a reputable UK-based seller of the iPhone 13 mini. None of the ones I've seen on ebay and the like fill me with confidence. TIA

CEX shop,

The official Apple refurbished store - it’ll be basically brand new with a new screen, case and battery. They have stock at the moment, but it’s getting more and more rare.

I got mine from the Apple refurb store. Was like new.

Isn't that the point of this thread? The OP wants a phone from a reliable retailer and can get a like new phone from the manufacturer which also has a warranty.

Yeah, that's it, I went to the refurb store where there was one black Mini so I've ordered that, thanks to all.

Exactly.

Want an 'as new' phone where it has been refurbished with a new shell and new battery then buy from Apple.

Want a secondhand phone where 'refurbishing' involves giving it a bit of a wipe with a damp cloth and checking it is unlocked, then buy from Back Market, Cex, Giff Gaff, musicMagpie, etc.

Not exactly rocket science to see why there is a price difference.

The phone arrived, no charging tackle with it but otherwise it was indistiguishable from new.
