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 :)

Very pleased with my refurbished iPhone13 purchased from Back Market. The price was competitive and although it was described as in Fair condition externally it seemed like new to me. I would certainly reccommend Back Market to friends and I would certainly buy items from them again.

I had slight reservations about buying a phone that was sold as refurbished. I wanted a brand new one! Turns out though I literally did get a brand new one! The condition of the phone was remarkable. There was only the tiniest of marks on it which took a good inspection to find. The battery life is fantastic and the capacity was about 84% if my memory serves me right. Couldn’t recommend Back Market enough and will definitely use in future.

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.

iPhone13 arrived ppromptly and the condition was really good despite your describing this reconditioned iphone as fair. The transfer of information between old iPhone7 and this iPhone13 went smoothly. This was our third purchase, (2 iPhone 13's and 1 Macbookair), and we have been really happy with all that BackMarket have provided.

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.

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.

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.
