About the iPhone 16

  • The iPhone 16 range sits one generation behind the very latest, which makes it a smart buy: recent enough to feel current, priced well below new. Mintro stocks four variants: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, in a range of storage sizes, colours and grades, each photographed individually before sale.
  • Every iPhone 16 has its battery health checked with Blackbelt diagnostic software and stated on the listing. We never sell an iPhone 16 with battery health below 80 percent, and Excellent grade handsets test at 90 percent or higher.

What condition are Mintro's iPhone 16 handsets?

Our grades describe how an iPhone 16 looks, nothing more. Every handset is fully tested and works perfectly regardless of grade. We use three grades: Excellent, Good and Fair.

Excellent Grade A

Looks like new or very close to it, no marks visible under normal light. Battery 90 percent or higher.

Good Grade B

Light scuffs or surface marks only, nothing deep. Battery 85 percent or higher.

Fair Grade C

Obvious cosmetic wear with scratches and scuffs but no cracks, fully working. Battery 80 percent or higher.

How every device is tested before listing

Every iPhone 16 is put through a professional Blackbelt diagnostic test before listing and sold with a Blackbelt Tested Certificate showing what was tested, the results and the battery health.

Full functional test (screen, cameras, Face ID, buttons, speakers, connectivity).

Battery health checked and stated.

Activation Lock removed and device wiped.

IMEI/blacklist check.

Cosmetic grade with real photos.

Every iPhone 16 is covered by the 24 month Mintro Guarantee against faults. Accidental damage, water damage and misuse are not covered. It is one of the strongest guarantees on the pre owned market.

Frequently asked questions

What does a graded iPhone 16 mean?

A graded iPhone 16 is one that has been inspected and rated Excellent, Good or Fair for its appearance. The grade covers cosmetics only. Every iPhone 16 we sell passes a full functional test with Blackbelt diagnostic software, so whichever grade you choose, the phone itself works perfectly.
Are pre owned iPhone 16 unlocked?

Yes. Pre owned iPhone 16 handsets at Mintro are sold unlocked unless the listing states otherwise, and work on every UK network. Before sale we remove Activation Lock, wipe the device completely and run an IMEI and blacklist check, so your iPhone 16 arrives clean, clear and ready for your SIM.
Is there a warranty?

Yes. The 24 month Mintro Guarantee comes with every iPhone 16 and covers faults for two full years, double the cover most pre owned retailers provide. It excludes accidental damage, water damage and misuse. On top of that, online orders have a 14 day change of mind window.
What's the battery health on a pre owned iPhone 16?

Every pre owned iPhone 16 we sell has battery health of at least 80 percent, and the exact percentage appears on the listing. Excellent grade phones are 90 percent or higher and Good grade 85 percent or higher, so you can pick the level that suits you.
How quickly will my iPhone 16 arrive?

Orders are dispatched within 1 working day with tracked, insured delivery, and higher value models such as the iPhone 16 Pro Max go by Royal Mail Special Delivery. If you change your mind you have 14 days from the day it arrives to return it, paying the return postage yourself. Anything faulty is covered by the 24 month Mintro Guarantee instead.
