iPhone 12 Second Hand Price – Affordable Apple Power at The Big Phone Store

If you’re shopping around for the best iPhone 12 second hand price, you’re in the right place. At The Big Phone Store, we make owning premium Apple devices straightforward, affordable, and sustainable. Our refurbished iPhone 12 range is SIM-free, quality-checked, and up to 50% cheaper than buying new.

No contracts. No hidden fees. Just genuine Apple performance at a fraction of the original cost.


Why Choose a Second-Hand iPhone 12?

Apple’s iPhone 12 brought serious upgrades to the table — sleek flat-edge design, powerful internals, and the debut of 5G connectivity. And while it may no longer be the latest model, it still competes impressively with today’s smartphones.

Here’s what makes a refurbished iPhone 12 a great buy:

  • Apple A14 Bionic Chip – Built for speed and efficiency across apps, games, and multitasking.

  • 6.1” Super Retina XDR Display – OLED brilliance with vibrant colours and deep contrast.

  • 12MP Dual Camera System – With ultra-wide lens, Night Mode, and Dolby Vision video recording.

  • MagSafe Compatibility – For easy wireless charging and accessory attachment.

  • 5G Ready – Fast, reliable connectivity wherever coverage is available.

  • Lightweight Design – Slim, sleek, and easy to use one-handed.

  • No Headphone Jack – Requires a lightning to 3.5mm dongle to connect traditional headphones.

Buying used means you get all these flagship features — for hundreds less than the cost of a new device.


How Are Our iPhone 12 Prices So Cheap?

We work hard to keep our iPhone 12 second hand prices as competitive as possible. Thanks to our in-house refurbishment team, we cut out middlemen and pass those savings directly to you.

Prices vary depending on condition, but every device is:

  • Fully tested with 90+ quality checks

  • Unlocked and SIM-free

  • Backed by a 12-month warranty

  • Equipped with at least 85% battery health

  • Cleaned, securely packaged, and ready to go

When you compare the cost of a new iPhone 12 to our second-hand range, the value is clear — and the experience is just as smooth.
