This iPhone 12 stands out because it's been refurbished to an excellent standard and is fully unlocked—meaning you can use it with virtually any carrier right out of the box. The big highlight here is the battery, which is essentially brand new (100% health), so you won’t have to worry about running out of juice soon. The seller is trustworthy with a strong feedback record, a 30-day return window, free shipping (with tracking and insurance), and a satisfaction guarantee, so you’re covered if anything unexpected pops up. Now, for the honest tradeoff: Face ID isn’t working on this phone. Everything else functions just as it should, so if Face ID isn’t a must-have for you—maybe you’re fine with a passcode—this is still a safe bet. Compared to the next pick, you’re saving a bit, but trading that convenience for a hardware quirk. You’re also getting an excellent cosmetic condition, almost as good as new, though it doesn’t come with the original box or charger. All in all, if best value is your priority and Face ID isn’t essential, this gives you a lot for the price with plenty of peace of mind.

What’s great about this iPhone 12 is the combination of reassurance and value you’re getting. You’ve got a fully unlocked device in excellent refurbished condition, and the real kicker is the included 1-year seller warranty—rare for phones this age. If you’re worried about hiccups down the road, this warranty is a big safety net, especially since Apple’s original warranty is long gone by now. This listing also comes from a top-rated, hugely established seller with excellent feedback, so you know you’re in good hands. Extras like 30 days of free returns and phonecheck testing just add to your confidence. You’re paying in USD, which you’ll want to consider if you’re in Canada, but even after currency conversion, the price lands in the mid-range among your options. Compared to the top option, you’re giving up a battery that’s likely brand new, but you’re gaining Face ID and robust after-sale support. Overall, you can shop with peace of mind here knowing you’re protected for a full year—worth considering if you want your purchase to feel truly low-risk.

This option really shines if you want a solid price and more storage—you're snagging the 128GB model and not just the 64GB base. The seller is top rated, offers free returns, and has a stellar track record, so you can feel good about support if anything comes up after the sale. Here’s the big catch: this iPhone is locked to AT&T. That means unless you’re using that carrier (or have a way to unlock it), you’re locked in, which limits your flexibility and resale value. Also, while it’s refurbished and tested, the condition is “very good” rather than “excellent,” so expect a bit more wear compared to the top picks—but you’re saving money. Against the two higher-ranked options, you trade off carrier flexibility and premium cosmetic condition for a lower price and double the storage. If AT&T works for you and you’d rather spend less on a bigger storage model, this could be your best value without venturing into riskier territory lower down the list.

This listing is one of the most affordable unlocked iPhone 12 options around, especially if you’re watching your budget. It gives you the freedom to choose your carrier and comes with the basics—a charging cable is included, though not a charger brick or box. But here’s the honest bit: This one’s used, not refurbished, so expect more visible wear than with the top picks. You’re also taking on a bit of risk—there’s no return policy, no seller warranty, and the seller doesn’t have much of a feedback record. Compared to, say, the top two refurbished listings, you’re saving money but giving up a lot of support and confidence. If you just want something cheap and don’t mind potential scrapes (and are okay with no safety net if anything goes wrong), it’s a value play. Otherwise, you may find more peace of mind a little higher up.

If lots of return time and responsive sellers are what you're after, this listing offers some of the best support. You get a generous 60-day return window—twice what's typical—and the seller’s feedback is perfect, so they’re proven reliable to work with. This iPhone is also unlocked and gives you the larger 128GB storage, so you’ve got extra room for apps and photos. However, you are paying a premium compared to most other options, and the phone is just ‘used’ rather than refurbished, meaning it has more signs of use. For the price, you could get an ‘excellent’ refurb (see the top two picks) or even a better deal on another used but less expensive one. If having a longer return runway is what helps you sleep at night or you like the idea of buying from a spotless seller, this could be worth the added cost. But purely on value for money, you might find stronger picks above or even more affordable working phones below.

If you’re after the rock-bottom price, this is as cheap as it gets for a used iPhone 12. The battery health is solid (not new, but 95% is pretty healthy for a five-year-old phone), and the seller has strong feedback. It’s a good deal if you’re on TracFone or plan to use it just on WiFi. But there’s an important limitation: this phone is locked to TracFone, so you won’t be able to use it with any other carrier unless you unlock it yourself—which can be a hassle or sometimes not even possible. There’s also no return policy and no warranty coverage, which means you’re taking on all the risk if something’s wrong or you need to return it. Compared to the top picks, you’re giving up flexibility, polish, and support. If you really just need the lowest price and are already a TracFone customer (and are comfortable with risk), this could be a solid budget find, but for most folks, the safety net is probably worth the bump up in price.

Here's where you see the ultimate low-price temptation—this is among the cheapest iPhone 12s, and it’s the 128GB model, so you get lots of storage for way less than almost every option here. It’s unlocked and from a seller with perfect feedback so far. But—and it’s a big but—there are two significant red flags: the battery health is down at 76% (so it won’t last long between charges and could need replacing soon), and there’s a screen issue described as “screen moves on its own.” That suggests possible touch issues or ghost touches, which can make using the phone frustrating or outright unreliable. Unlike the top few listings, there’s no return policy either, so if the phone isn’t usable for your needs, there’s no safety net. If you’re up for a repair project or you need a super cheap backup with plenty of space, this is a gamble that might pay off. But if you want your phone to work flawlessly out of the box, I’d recommend focusing on one of the options above—even if it means spending a bit more.

This listing gives you a bit of extra storage (128GB instead of 64GB), it’s unlocked, and the cosmetic condition is fairly clean with only light wear. The seller’s feedback is spotless (though with limited history), and you get a charger and cable included—which is a nice bonus since that’s not standard for many used iPhones. However, you’re paying more than other used options, and there’s some uncertainty here: returns aren’t accepted and there’s no info about warranty or Face ID status. Without that backup, if something turns out to be wrong, you’re stuck. When you compare it to the top two picks, you’re getting less support and giving up that important peace of mind—plus, those higher-ranked options have been refurbished and tested more thoroughly. If you like the color or want that little bump in storage with an included charger, this is an okay choice—but for pure value and security, the alternatives above are safer bets.

You’ll get an unlocked iPhone 12 with the basics included, plus the nice touch of a brand new, authentic Apple charger and the original box—something you don’t see much in this price range. That’s a perk if you like having the full retail unboxing experience and genuine accessories. This listing comes from a seller with some feedback, but it’s still fairly minimal; not the established reputation of the top picks. Another tradeoff: there’s no return option here, so any risk is on you. The battery is at 85% health—which is okay, but not outstanding for daily heavy use, and not as fresh as the top few listings. Priced higher than some other used options, you’re paying more for those extras and the physical presentation, but not necessarily for better protection or condition. If you put value on having the real Apple charger/box and a clean, unlocked unit, this could work for you. Just go in knowing you're paying a little extra and don’t have a safety net should anything go wrong.

This is one of the lowest-priced iPhone 12s on your list, and it’s an unlocked 128GB model—a rare combo of extra storage and full carrier flexibility for less. The seller’s feedback is excellent (though not as established as the top picks), and you do get clear confirmation that the IMEI is clean and the phone is not iCloud locked, which is reassuring. What you’re giving up: no returns or warranty, so you’re on your own if there are any surprises. The listing doesn’t mention battery health or accessories, and with a used phone at this price point, you might expect some moderate wear or a battery that’s seen some use. If you want to maximize storage and save money with an unlocked phone, this one is hard to beat on specs for the price. But if you want a support safety net or the guarantee of a perfect device, look higher up the list. It’s a solid low-risk gamble for the storage but remember—it’s all final sale.
