Thankyou so much for your help yes I can use my phone for now with home button on screen it’s not really a problem the cheapest iPhone SE 2022 refurbished on eBay with 12 months guarantee is £250 with 100% battery health seller has 100% positive feedback no negative ! iPhone 11 going for around £220 private sellers
I wouldn’t discount private sellers if they have good feedback as long as ebay provides full moneyback protection on that listing.
Refurbished can mean 101 things – from wiping it over with a cloth, checking the phone works to replacing a smashed screen (be wary here because it will be a generic scrren often at lower quality than the original, it could even mean a good phone is made up out of sever defunct phones or replacing the frame with a generic one. It could even mean it was faulty and has been repaired etc etc. The list is endless.
I wouldn’t look too much into a seller offering x guarantee. Very often it will require your phone returning to them where they will repair it with used or generic parts.
There was also cases of sellers selling stollen phone a few years back so whatever you do I can’t express the importance of Ebays money back guarantee.
Remember a business seller is out to make a profit, whereas a private seller will in most cases be at a more realistic price which can proove to be a very good purchse at a reasonanle price.
The Ipone 11 was apples flagship that came out in sept 2019 and likely to offer superior specs to the SE 2022. Either way SE 2022 or a mid range android will be more than capable for you needs.
No derespect Mike but, I do think you need to think and set a price point and stick to it, rather than going from upto £250 to around £100 and Then £79 regardless of what platform you choose lol. If not only for your own sanity 🙂
I’m more than happy to help on anything and perhaps put links up of what you have seen in shops or on Ebay.
