In their words
“Phone is fine, speakers have residue from its previous situation idk. They ignored instructions and delivered the phone on a day no one was home and left it in the mailbox instead, a day or so earlier then scheduled. But whatever right, I got the phone and it’s functioning properly.”
Devin · verified purchase · walmart.com
“1. The mobile looks new and the battery shows 100%. 2. The phone heats up during use. 3. The touch screen behaves strangely or becomes unresponsive at times. 4. The phone hangs and lags, which is unexpected for an iPhone. 5. When kept in a pocket, it often registers accidental touches and sometimes opens the alarm app by itself. 6.”

You want the best phone money can buy, with no compromises.
High buyer trust (4.4/5 from 18k reviews) and flagship status, but owner data shows multiple low-condition aspects (battery, camera, performance, screen) that contradict top-of-class positioning.
Grounded in our buyer-review, reviewer-video, price and successor signals — a poor fit names a closer pick · as of Jul 15.
