My refurbished iPhone 13 mini is great. The only minor point to raise is that it clearly been refurbished with a non-Apple battery and I keep getting notifications telling me that the device can’t recognise the battery and that as a consequence the battery health reporting may be inaccurate. Not what I was expecting! Any hints on how to get the phone to verify the battery?

I love this company! So easy to order my refurbished IPhone 14 Pro Max and it arrived on time in immaculate condition. The 1 year warranty was an added bonus. Great price too. Thanks so much Backmarket - you’re highly recommended 😀

I am so pleased with the condition of this refurbished iPhone 14. I chose a phone with more GB storage and good condition and the phone only had a very minor scratch on the body- hardly noticeable and I will be using a case anyway. Phone came with a battery life of 86% as well. definitely worth getting a 2nd hand phone from Back Market instead of new.

Absolutely brilliant. This is the first time I’ve used Back Market to buy a reconditioned phone and the whole experience has been outstanding. My iPhone 13 arrived within days and although I had signed up for one in good condition, it arrived like a brand-new phone in both looks and function. They took my old iPhone in as part exchange with a price I was very happy with. The communication throughout was excellent and my husband is soon going to order from this company. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

My wife needed a new iphone as her old one had packed up, I have never bought a reconditioned phone before so this is my first time using Backmarket, I chose the iphone 13 pro max, and decided to use the staff pick of good, I was naturally apprehensive about it. The phone turned up the next day and I was blown away by the condition, very hard to see any marks on it whatsoever, so happy with it that I am now about to order a Pixel 8 Pro for myself, again in good condition, fingers crossed it will also be superb. Big thank you to Backmarket and will defineately recommend you to others.

I ordered an iPhone 12 to replace my old iPhone 7. After reading several reviews I went for a ‘good’. condition and I was not disappointed. It arrived within two days and looked brand new. Not a mark on it. So pleased my daughter has bought an identical iPhone 12 in a different colour and again, it looks brand new. Will definitely be ordering from Back Market in the future and I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a new mobile to buy reconditioned.

Very pleased with my refurbished iPhone 13 which was received quickly after placing order. Condition is good, as described, and battery life and responsiveness are very substantially improved compared to my previous phone. I have purchased from Back Market previously and trust their service and competitive pricing.

First time buying a refurbished phone, definitely won't be the last time! Chose a 'Good' condition iPhone 11 and it is absolutely immaculate, not a mark on it! Delivered within 2 days, beautifully packaged in a new box with new charging cable. Fantastic job Back Market! Feeling really good about helping the environment and you have certainly helped my bank balance.

Refurbished iPhone 15 Pro arrived very promptly in very good condition (I bought the 'excellent' grade). Battery was 89% storage capacity and had around 530 previous charging cycles on it when I got it - so far it holds its charge reasonably well. So far I am very happy with this purchase, but perhaps would have been even happier if the battery had a capacity of more than 90%.
