Buy a refurbished iPhone 12 Pro SIM-free with 85%+ battery, 12-month warranty, 45-day returns and free UK delivery.
The refurbished iPhone 12 pro came with a camera system that introduced Night Mode portraits and Apple ProRAW for the first time. It has genuine tools for anyone who takes their photography seriously. And a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that made everything from photos to films look simply stunning.
It was the phone that made a lot of people realise they didn't need a Pro Max after all.

Yes. A reconditioned iPhone 12 Pro is worth buying if you want a premium-feeling iPhone with 5G, OLED, MagSafe, telephoto zoom and LiDAR at a lower price. It suits buyers who want more camera flexibility and a smarter finish than the standard iPhone 12, without the cost of newer Pro models.
The iPhone 12 Pro is often chosen by buyers who want the “Pro” feel without the newer Pro price. The Big Phone Store has specialised in refurbished, recycled and reused electronics since 1999, helping UK shoppers avoid private-seller risks, unclear repair history and unknown battery condition.
Every refurbished iPhone 12 Pro is tested and graded in-house before dispatch. Testing may use tools such as PhoneCheck and CheckMEND where relevant. Where parts are used, we use OEM-quality parts or higher. We are also a WEEE-certified recycler, helping keep premium electronics in use for longer.

The refurbished iPhone 12 Pro is for people who want a phone that feels a little more polished. The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display gives you crisp text, deep contrast and strong colour for photos, video, maps and browsing. Apple lists the resolution at 2532 x 1170 pixels with 460 ppi.
The A14 Bionic chip keeps everyday use smooth across calls, banking apps, streaming, gaming, photo editing and video. You also get 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and MagSafe, so the iPhone 12 Pro still gives you a modern-feeling setup at a lower refurbished price.
The camera system is where this model stands apart from the standard iPhone 12. You get wide, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras, plus LiDAR for Night mode portraits and improved depth features. That makes it a strong option for portraits, travel shots, product photos, pets, social content and 4K Dolby Vision video.
A refurbished iPhone 12 Pro is not the same as a typical second hand iPhone 12 Pro. A private seller may offer a lower price, but you may not know the battery health, repair history, network status or whether the phone has been properly wiped.
Professionally Refurbished | Typical Used Phone |
Tested across 90+ points | Usually not fully tested |
Minimum 85% battery health | Battery may be weak or unknown |
Data-wiped before sale | Data removal depends on the seller |
12-month warranty included | Often no warranty |
Clear condition grading | Condition can be vague |
Network/history checks completed, including CheckMEND where relevant | Risk depends on seller honesty |
Yes. A refurbished iPhone 12 Pro is usually safer than buying used privately because it has been tested, graded, data-wiped and sold with warranty cover. You also reduce the risk of blocked devices, weak batteries, hidden repair issues and difficult returns.
Every refurbished iPhone 12 Pro we sell is fully functional. The grade describes cosmetic condition, not performance.
Like New is the cleanest cosmetic option and includes 100% guaranteed battery health. Choose it if you want the best condition available.
Pristine has very light signs of use and suits buyers who want a premium-looking Pro phone for less.
Very Good may show light marks, but still gives you full iPhone 12 Pro performance.
Good shows more visible wear and is best if you want the lowest price on a fully working Pro iPhone.
"The 12 Pro doesn't get enough credit. It was the phone where Apple first really committed to ProRAW and the kind of computational photography tools that professionals actually wanted. The stainless steel finish still feels premium in a way that a lot of current phones don't manage. Refurbished, it's one of those purchases that just feels right the moment it arrives." - The Big Phone Store Team
Every refurbished iPhone 12 Pro comes with at least 85% battery health as standard. That supports normal daily use across calls, messages, maps, browsing, social apps, streaming, photos and video.
Like New phones include 100% guaranteed battery health. Consider this option if you use maps often, shoot lots of photos or video, travel regularly, stream on the go or simply want the strongest battery option from day one.
You will get at least 85% battery health as standard. If you choose a Like New refurbished iPhone 12 Pro, you get 100% guaranteed battery health.
A cheap iPhone 12 Pro should still feel premium, stable and ready for daily use. A lower price usually reflects cosmetic grade, storage size or a current offer, not reduced functionality.
Each device is checked before dispatch across key areas, including:
Battery health and Lightning charging
MagSafe and wireless charging response
Display brightness, colour and touch response
Face ID
Wide, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras
LiDAR and focus behaviour
Speakers, microphones and haptics
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile signal
Buttons, sensors and other checks
LiDAR and telephoto review: We test the Pro camera features carefully because they are the main reason many buyers choose the iPhone 12 Pro over the iPhone 12.
Stainless steel frame inspection: We check the frame edges and finish, as small marks can be more visible on a premium polished design.
Network and history checks: We complete network and history checks, including CheckMEND where relevant.

Love my new phone! It looks like new and runs super fast. I couldn't believe how good the price was for such a quality phone. It even came unlocked, which was perfect since I'm switching carriers. The team was really nice when I asked a question over the phone. Very happy!
