Unstable shortly after warranty ended

Bought an iPhone 13 mini from them last year. Now, roughly 2 months after the warranty ended, the phone is very unstable. It started rebooting randomly at first. That went on for some days, then it shut down completely and I couldn't turn it on again. I opened it up and reseated the battery cable, then it started working again.
The phone worked normally for some time but soon enough it started having it's period again. A screen appeared with this link: support.apple.com /iphone/restore. I followed the instructions and eventually got to a system startup troubleshooter. Had to got through this process a couple of times, because the phone started bootlooping. At some point the phone randomly decided to start working again.
I guess I'll wait for it to stop working again.

EDIT: In the end the iphone 13 mini didn't turn on anymore. When pressing the power button it is in a loop: briefly shows the apple logo and then goes to black again.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sincerely sorry for the issues and frustration you have encountered. We completely understand how annoying it is when a device starts rebooting unexpectedly and becoming unstable, especially shortly after the warranty period has expired.

We would like to clarify that all our phones undergo a rigorous 52-step technical inspection before being shipped to ensure every component functions properly. However, unexpected hardware or software issues can occasionally develop over time. Please note that opening the device yourself or modifying internal components like the battery cable can affect the device's stability and future repairability.

While your standard warranty period has ended, our customer support team is always available to help explore possible solutions or guide you on the next steps. If you would like us to look into your order details or discuss repair options, please feel free to reach out to us via email at info@swappie.com or through WhatsApp.

Best regards,
The Swappie Team

Sell price policy

It was the best price but 6 month later sell price ( iPhone 15Pro ) was higher then what I received for…so for that reason no 5 stars.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We would like to explain that our device pricing is based on the current market value, as well as inventory demand, overall supply, and labor costs associated with the refurbishment process. Because these factors shift constantly, our trade-in offers fluctuate over time and can go either up or down.

While we know this doesn't change the outcome of your transaction, we truly appreciate your review and hope you enjoyed the smooth process when selling your device to us.

Best regards,

Review


I bought a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro from Swappie for my 13-year-old daughter, specifically paying extra for a new battery with 100% capacity.

Unfortunately, the battery never worked properly. The phone would suddenly shut down even when it showed 15–20% battery remaining, and the battery also drained very quickly. This caused serious problems, especially because my daughter is only 13. On one occasion, her phone switched off while she was travelling by bus, even though it still showed more than 15% battery and was on low power mode. She ended up getting lost and we were unable to contact her.

We contacted Swappie under the warranty and they replaced the phone, but the process took approximately 10 days. Unfortunately, the replacement phone is now showing the same battery problems.

I understand that refurbished devices can sometimes have issues, but when you specifically pay for a new 100% battery, you expect it to work properly. Having the exact same problem with the replacement is extremely disappointing and has caused a lot of unnecessary stress and inconvenience.

At this point, I am very disappointed with the quality of the product and the experience overall. I hope Swappie can provide a proper solution rather than simply replacing the phone again.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We are deeply sorry to hear about the distress this situation caused your family, especially regarding your daughter's safety while traveling.

Experiencing a battery fault twice in a row is an extremely unfortunate coincidence. We have many customers who use our phones for a long time without any issues at all. We select and rigorously test all our replacement batteries to ensure high performance, but it is clear that something went wrong in this case.

We genuinely want to make this right for you. Please contact our support team directly at info@swappie.com or via WhatsApp with your order details, and we will do our best to find a faster solution to fix this situation for you and your daughter.

Best regards,
The Swappie Team

Very good service

I have now bought and sold phones of swappie and in each experience they were brilliant. They gave me a fair price for my 16 pro max and my iPhone 15 and when I bought off them I got a really good price and a new battery

Terrible experience – Lost package, zero support, and wasted money!


I am extremely disappointed with Swappie's customer service. I bought a refurbished phone from them, but it broke down shortly after. I sent it back under warranty for repair/reclamation.
Unfortunately, the package got lost in transit. I reported it immediately, filed an official police report, and forwarded all necessary documentation to Swappie to resolve the situation.

Instead of taking responsibility or trying to help solve the issue with the courier service, Swappie simply refused to do anything. They have completely washed their hands of the problem and refuse to provide a replacement, refund, or any solution.

Do not trust this company. If everything goes smoothly, great, but the moment an issue arises, their customer support is utterly useless. I am down a phone, out of my money, and left with no choice but to take further legal action. Avoid them at all costs! am replying regarding order

UPDATE

Your argument about the 192g system weight is completely invalid and misleading. The package was never physically weighed at drop-off in Ružomberok due to a technical error on your courier’s side (SPS). The ~200g weight is simply a default, system-generated weight printed on the shipping label, not a real physical measurement.
The SPS courier physically confirmed taking over the sealed package containing the phone, which is officially recorded in the police report.
As a business customer, we strictly demand:
Official escalation of this case to your Legal & Claims Department.
A copy of the formal Damage Protocol from DHL upon arrival in Germany.
Full reimbursement or a replacement device for our company.
Rejecting a claim without investigating a theft that occurred within your own contracted shipping chain is unacceptable. If this B2B claim is not resolved promptly, our company will proceed with further legal steps and provide all courier/Swappie records to the police investigation.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your review. We are deeply sorry to hear about this stressful situation regarding your warranty shipment and understand how frustrating it is to be left without your phone.

We have thoroughly checked your order and the shipment details. When the package arrived, our warehouse received a box weighing only 192 grams, meaning the phone was missing inside. As soon as we noticed this, we immediately reached out to the logistics provider to initiate an inquiry. The courier service confirmed that the shipment weight remained unchanged throughout transit—matching the initial weight of around 200 grams when dropped off—and no package damage was recorded along the route.

Based on the courier's official report, the parcel arrived in the exact state it was handed over. When a package is in transit, we must rely on the logistics provider’s official records, as they are responsible for tracking the parcel during transport. If the package was delivered in its original sealed condition according to the carrier, we unfortunately do not have the tools or jurisdiction to investigate a potential theft internally.

Since you have already filed an official report, we recommend waiting for the police to complete their investigation. Please be assured that we are fully ready to cooperate with law enforcement authorities and will promptly provide any documentation or information they require from our end.

Best regards,
The Swappie Team

No problem buying

No problem buying, and fast delivery—great phone!
Fast and good customer service.
However, only sell to them if you can't be bothered handling the sale yourself. You get very little, and then they send photos of a phone that is quite obviously not the one you sent in—I took photos and videos of mine before sending it in! Still, I'm satisfied since I couldn't be bothered putting up an ad myself!

Hello,

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you had a smooth purchasing experience, fast delivery, and that our customer service team was helpful.

At the same time, we would like to address your concern regarding the valuation and the condition photos. We can assure you that we never swap or use photos of other devices; all diagnostic pictures are taken directly from the exact phone received under your order number. Our technicians inspect each unit in a specialized laboratory environment under high-intensity lighting and from multiple angles. This strong illumination often reveals microscopic scratches or fine marks that are invisible under ordinary household lighting or standard videos.

Please remember that you can always request additional photos of the phone from our support team to verify that it is indeed your device before accepting or declining the price offer. Keep in mind that diagnostic photos may differ from your own due to the lighting used and the specific angle from which the photo was taken.

We always aim for a transparent valuation, and we are glad that the overall convenience of avoiding private sales made the process worth it for you.

Best regards,
The Swappie Team

Disappointed trying to sell my iPhone...

I tried to sell my iPhone on Swappie, so I got a quote online, received the box to send it it. And when they got it, they said the iPhone had deep cruises on the side, and the screen was scratched too, which wasn't there when I sent it in. I even got a 360° video of the phone before I sent it in.
So I contacted their support team, which was only like their AI assistant, which wasn't help at all.
After I sent them my video, I didn't received an response, on an "updated quote" which still was the same.
Now I get the phone back damaged, and won't even be able to sell it privately.
Very disappointed...

Edit: The phone had a case and a screen protector installed from the minute I bought it and was only removed when I put it into the package to send it to Swappie.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience, the frustration caused by the difference in condition, and the delay in receiving a proper response from our support team. We completely understand how concerning this situation is for you.

We would like to explain why differences between personal photos/videos and our diagnostic report can occur: Our technicians inspect every phone in a specialized laboratory environment under high-intensity lighting and from multiple angled views. This strong illumination exposes microscopic scratches, fine traces, or side marks that are often invisible under ordinary household lighting.

We can see your request in our system, and our support team will respond to you as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the delay; during periods with a high volume of inquiries, our response times can unfortunately be longer than usual.

We appreciate your patience while we review your case.

Best regards,
The Swappie Team
