They get support for a long time, and do the job for a cheap price. I don't know what people are complaining about. A friend got one of the cheapest model, when they didn't have much and was struggling, at a reduced price. It came with a two year warranty unlike trying to get something second hand so no need to worry, nothing else new came close to as good for that price, nothing else new would have had any support, and nothing second had for that price was really much better but came with all the drawbacks of being second hand (and definitely not supported still).

My experience has been quite good the few times have used. Just this month, I purchased an Apple Watch Ultra 2 model and the classification was "Used - Very Good". The watch was discounted from $799 to $604. Upon receipt I inspected and could tell by Apple serial number status that it was original bought in November 2023 and still under AppleCare until November 2024. Everything was in the box, in like-new condition. The only signs it was used was that the charger cable had been removed and put back into the box and could tell the band had been used for a little bit. The watch was in pristine condition with no defects at all. Was very pleased.

Each cycle count represents the number of times a battery has been drained and charged. It's important to note that the decrease doesn't necessarily mean that the battery was drained to 0% -- if someone used their battery for only a few minutes and the battery drained from 100% to 99%, and then the owner charged the laptop again, that would still count as 1 cycle. So all cycle counts are not created equally.
@_nahwhat4 ай бұрын
I think it depends device-to-device tho. My laptop doesn't increment the cycle count how you said.
@kaiserwilhelm6960Ай бұрын
Apple defines a cycle as using the equivalent of a full charge. So if you drain the the battery to 50%, recharge it, and then drain it to 50% again, you’ve used the equivalent of one full charge. That would be a cycle.

Return was rejected as "customer induced fault" and Amazon sided with the reseller.

The one thing I find Amazon is a bit of a scam with is the fact they get a return that the person states is faulty and sends it back out to the next customer. So many times I have gotten something that looks like a return that has been sent right back out without them checking. I tested it once. Sent back a keyboard and mouse and kept the mouse... got a refund and no word about the missing mouse lol. I feel like they do that just hoping one person doesn't bother returning it, maybe too busy or something and they do this until it doesn't get returned and that's a item sold they do not have to worry about lol.

As someone who worked for Amazon...there isn't a huge amount of work going into most products. They don't care about your quality, they care about you hitting the numbers they want. And if you don't hit said numbers, even if you hit perfect quality every time, you'll get a manager coming to tell you to speed it up, and if you don't you'll end up without a job. I would expect that the companies that just ship through Amazon probably DO refurbish their stuff, and Amazon probably will refurbish something that is actually broken and easily fixable, but I don't see them putting a huge amount of effort into repairs. Especially when they can just send you a known working product otherwise and not have to waste the extra time. Besides, they can easily afford it.

My experience with Amazon renewed has been good, except for one order. I’ve ordered three products from them so far; I ordered an iPad mini 6th generation that came in like-new condition (no scratches or marks of any kind) with only some understandable battery degradation (but way above Amazon’s 80% mark). The second item I ordered was an iPhone 12 mini, and that was in terrible condition despite my ordering excellent condition. It has minor marks on the aluminum and the back looked alright, but the screen was majorly scratched up, which the seller had tried to hide under a poorly placed screen protector. I ended up sending that back and got an iPhone 13 mini instead, and I swear they sent me a brand new 13 mini, as even though I ordered the same “excellent condition”, this phone didn’t have a single mark or scratch, and the battery was even still at 100% capacity. I really feel like I lucked out on that one. My mom has also ordered a Pixel 7 renewed from Amazon and that came in very good condition, so here’s hoping the 12 mini was a fluke.

I bought an Amazon renewed 24" 165hz dell monitor for $90 a few years ago when it was selling new for $200+. I was skeptical at first when the original dell packaging came in heavily damaged and had signs of use but nonetheless the monitor looked mint. It also had an Amazon LPN sticker to indicate that it was a returned item. I'm typing up this comment on the exact monitor today with no issues.

I recently got a paired of Amazon renewed AirPod Maxs…. They were SUPER corroded and were returned within weeks. I was soooo disappointed. The outside and everything looked great, but the second I took it apart I realized that they sent me an almost broken product. Shame shame shame.

17:00. Would not recommend doing this so aggressively. The problem is likely one or two pins that are loose, so by wiggling the cable you risk making other pins loose or worse. HDMI ports on Xbox's are cheap piles of doo doo these days unfortunately, barely held on with tiny strips of metal and as little solder as they can get away with. :(

i had a decent experience with it. Bought an iPhone 12 in "Good" condition and the front and back glass were PERFECT not a single screatch. However, the sides were scuffed up a bit. Another note was I ordered this and the rear main sensor just did not work whatsoever, the wide and front ones did. I did exchange it and got a perfectly working device. Also battery was at 83% which isnt the best but its acceptable

I bought a new mouse from Amazon Renewed a month ago. It was one of those hollow lightweight ones. It had dust, hair, and mysterious orange goop inside of it. The friction pads were not great either. Never buying Amazon Renewed again. This is Ebay Used type condition, going there would have saved me quite a bit.

I bought refurbished 3rd gen AirPods and the only thing was there was a slight scuff on the casing but since I use a custom case I never see it. But overall the product works fine. Saved $50 compared to new.

if it has 623 cycles wouldnt that mean someone just used it for just under 2 years everyday and would only charge it once dead and then unplug when full? where did you get 5 years from

The other guy who posted Amazon Scam video tried to return it after a year and they wanted to charge him a fee.

A "renewed" laptop I got has a dead pixel and a few scuffs, it just looks used and 60% battery health so definitely not refurbished.

I recently ordered a iPhone 11 Pro Max for about $300 and according to Amazon renewed condition I was meant to have a battery that would at least be above 80% and surprise I get a phone with 72% so I called them up and got a one time refund for the phone but I feel Amazon should do a better job checking in with the third party sellers

I have gotten headphones, keyboards, laptops, and monitors from Amazon Renewed. Everything is always flawless.
