Buy a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini. Discover the best way to buy a second-hand iPhone 12 Mini at The Big Phone Store: the UK’s refurb experts, here since 1999!
Pocket sized: With a 5.4-inch display, the iPhone 12 Mini doesn’t take up too much space.

A14 Bionic Chip: The same chip found in the iPhone 12 Pro, with 16 Neural Engine cores to power AI features like voice recognition.
The iPhone 12 Mini is the older and cheaper of Apple’s Mini iPhones. If all you want is a tiny iPhone at the lowest price possible, the iPhone 12 Mini won’t let you down. This 2020 phone is now only available refurbished. That’s only good news for you, though - the cheapest refurbished iPhone 12 Minis are less than a third of the original price!
Refurbished phones get cheaper the longer the model has been on sale. After one year, a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini can be bought for just 70% of the original price. After two years, the price of a refurbished Apple iPhone can drop to as little as 50%.
Today, the cost of a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini depends on two main factors: the cosmetic condition, and the storage size. The handsets that we sell come in 6 different conditions, from "Brand New" to "Poor" (see below).
Buying a refurbished iPhone 12 Mini is the only way to get a second-hand model that you can trust. If you make the mistake of buying a second hand iPhone directly from the previous owner, you miss out on all of these great perks:
Buy refurbished with confidence with a PhoneCheck-Certified iPhone 12 Mini. Each refurbished iPhone that we sell (from 'Good' condition and above) has passed a strict standard of over 90 testing criteria to be certified as 'Fully Working', and is backed by a 12 month warranty. Even our 'Poor' condition iPhones come with a 3-month warranty for your peace of mind.
Every iPhone 12 Mini we sell comes SIM-free and Unlocked, meaning you have the freedom to keep your old SIM card, or choose any new SIM-only contract you want.
