Battery life

The battery life of this product is very poor I charged it to 50% and in a matter of minutes it went straight down to 20% and then straight down to 1%
And the home button doesn't work it has been pressed into the phone so you have to press hard to use it not happy at all with my purchase i am disgusted to say it's been fully tested.Read full review...

Perfect just for calls and alarm, etc. Too old to download apps. Very compact.

Does calls and alarm, etc, so now my family & friend phone, as opposed to work phone.
Small enough to be convenient.
Old enough not to offer endless distractions via apps, which won't download.<br>Not aware of battery life, as I don't use it that much.
Bought a cheap cover on here which makes it waterproof.Read full review...

Great Value

Despite being refurbished by supplier this pre owned product works well. Battery is good and is all functional. No cleaning cloth was supplied.
My first ever Apple product purchase.
Don't like the lack of file swapping down to the greed of Apple and it's iTunes division.
Apple quirks take a time to understand.
But phone does work so much better than my Samsung S5 model.
That includes the iPhone's camera which is great for macro photography on the Apple iPhone 5.
Samsung phone died due to overheating and has been at Samsung repair centre for a month now.
I will Never buy another Samsung product because they are Korean Bandits.
This iPhone 5 works a treat.Read full review...

Great phone!

Great phone. I've never had a brand new iPhone so cannot compare re: battery life but it does need charging regularly even though I rarely use it so this may be normal. I find apple so much easier to use than smartphones.Read full review...

Review of phonr

Overall very good phone nothing wrong with the internal software etc. The only minor setback are a few scratches on the side and back but I just simply put on a case and it looks brand new. Much better than paying over a 100 for a new one.Read full review...

Excellent Quality

This phone is like brand new, it came in a white Apple iPhone box, I don't know for sure but I think it's an Apple Refurbished Phone... at marginally more than well used secondhand units and with 12 months warranty this phone is amazing value, I think I'm absolutely made up with it, have already advised friends where to buy....Read full review...

Refurb iPhone

Purchased this phone about a month ago cosmetically the phone is very good grade A. Operationally it has had an irritating fault namely drifting in and out of wifi without warning, various attempts to rectify the fault have been partly successful the frequency of drifting in and out of wifi has reduced to a level that is not perfect but can be handled provided you check that the wifi is operational on the phone. To return the phone to the supplier is quite a task and will be away for 7 days or more. So you learn to live with the situation and accept the fact the you do take a gamble with a Refurb phone. If this problem had not been there then the phone would be fine, that's the chance you take.Read full review...

Not all functions work

No Siri or some other voice activated options not working
Battery life poor probably due to age
Reasonable buy considering the above

Lightweight and easy to use.

Smart and tidy phone that doesn't weigh down your pocket too much. Easy to use with some great features on it.
