So far I am absolutely delighted with my refurbished iPhone 13 it is everything it said it would be. It came very quickly and well packed. I haven’t yet received the refund on my iPhone 11. Once the money is in the bank . This is the second refurbished phone and an Apple Watch from Back market and they have all been excellent. The exchange refund on my iPhone 11 worked brilliantly. Money safely in the bank so upgrade achieved painlessly and for a reasonable outlay.

Aye my refurbished iPhone 13 is grand. Phone came quickly and well wrapped. It’s a Fair model so it has bumps and paint scrapes but no dents or bashes. The battery goes up to 100% which I’m chuffed about. Refurbished phones are definitely the way forward. Has taken a bit of time going from a Samsung to Apple, no proper back button and the set up of picture scrolling and a few other things aren’t as good. Will probably go back to Samsung with my next phone but wanted to try Apple for once. Would highly recommend BackMarket, good little unit altogether.

Extremely happy with the iPhone 13 I purchased! It's the first time I've bought a refurbished phone and I was a bit worried, but although choosing the cheapest condition option the phone still looks and functions like it's brand new. Will definitely be using BackMarket again :)

I was quite iffy about purchasing a refurbished phone but I took the risk and purchased the “fair” iPhone 13 and I’m not disappointed I’m very happy with the phone there is no chips on the side no scratches practically came brand new! The percentage is 88 which I think is amazing and I will definitely be recommending back market to anyone who is in need of a phone thank you so much

I ordered the iPhone 13 in the "fair" rating and its fantastic! I've bought refurbished iPhones from other places in the past and what really impressed me was the fact the battery health is much higher than I was expecting. No damage to the screen and just a few scrapes on the sides, and it came within 48 hours of ordering.

I’m very impressed and happy with my Fair condition refurbished iPhone 13. It’s in top condition and was a chinch to setup having auto transferred all stuff etc from my previous iPhone 11 just by close proximity between phones.

Superb customer online service from Back Market. Very competitive price. Fantastic reconditioned iPhone 13, despite choosing one described as 'Fair'. The bodywork is in perfect condition. A great upgrade from my old iPhone 7. Ordered in the afternoon & delivered the next day! Thank you :0)

Really delighted with my lovely IPhone 13. It’s as good as a brand new one. Arrived quickly and well packaged. My first refurbished phone and I will buy again from Back Market when the time comes to trade it in. Hopefully not for a long time though.

I bought a refurbished iPhone 13 as a replacement for my phone that was recently stolen. The iPhone 13 was great value and arrived in excellent condition - not a scratch and with 96% battery health! So far so good and really enjoying using it. Great value and so much better for the environment. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone needing a new phone.

At Back Market, customers can save big (up to 50% off) compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone 13. At Back Market we ensure quality is upheld through our minimum 25-point inspection that authenticates functionality, appearance, and security, conducted by industry professionals. Furthermore, we continually monitor our sellers through secret shopping, onsite visits to refurbishment centres, and of course, our customers’ reviews. Our one-of-a-kind Innovation Lab, are at the heart of these operations, and even develops new refurbishment processes that have become the industry standard.
All refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. Whereas buying “used” or “secondhand” devices means you’re buying the device in the condition the previous owner left it in, without a guarantee of battery life or basic functionality. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPhone 13 compared to a refurbished one. Understand more about the difference in our detailed article here - What is the difference between refurbished and used electronics?
Refurbished tech is better for the planet than brand new at almost every turn, just read the study conducted by ADME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency). We've summarised it nicely in our article The environmental impact of refurbished tech but the bottom line is the vast majority of refurbished devices have significantly less of an impact on the environment. Staying true to our brand we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop for refurbished iPhone 13 deals instead of buying brand new, giving not only the planet a break, but also your wallet by saving up to 50% off!
We categorise refurbished devices based on the product's cosmetic grades, to make sure you know exactly what you can expect when your device arrives. Watch our What does a Fair, Good, or Excellent refurbished phone look like? YouTube video for a clear breakdown with summarised information below.
No matter the cosmetic grade, every device functions like new.
Apple's iPhone 13 is an incredibly powerful smartphone that was just recently released in 2021. It features a 6.1" Super Retina XDR display, the A15 Bionic chip which gives it fast and fluid performance and has a great battery life that's capable of up to 19 hours of video playback. Of course, iPhones are also loved for their cameras, and the iPhone 13's photos are certain to please anyone. On the back, the iPhone 13 has 12MP wide and ultra-wide lenses with up to 5x digital zoom; on the front, you get a 12MP TrueDepth sensor now with Night mode and 4K recording. Of course, the iPhone 13 series were also the first Apple smartphones to come with cinematic mode and photographic styles so your photos and videos are sure to stand out and impress.
