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%.

Really happy with this iPhone. It’s in incredible condition seeing as I picked the cheapest option, with 100% battery health and no visible wearing on the body. I assume the reason that it was sold as “fair” was because of a tiny scratch in the screen (which I didn’t even notice at first). If all refurbished phones from backmarket are of this quality then I doubt I’ll buy a phone brand new again

In fantastic condition, both functionally and aesthetically. Only quarm is the battery life percentage is lower than expected considering it’s only a year old however, this is to be expected with refurbished phones.

Phone in very good condition, especially for one that’s supposedly refurbished! Only downside is the maximum battery capacity is 90%, but for a phone that’s atleast a year old and hasn’t got any marks or other problems, I’ll take it over spending thousands on a brand new one!

I ordered a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro on Saturday and it arrived promptly on Tuesday. Excellent condition really means excellent condition: perfect body and screen and the battery health was 100%, which I was thrilled about. I’m thrilled with my new phone, a much needed upgrade after five years, and even happier to have chosen a sustainable (and cheaper!) option. Thanks BackMarket!

I ordered an iPhone 15 Pro 128. Condition (Good, team choice). It didn't arrive exactly as I expected, lots of scratches on the iron side of the phone. Around the entire perimeter. The screen and back surface are perfect. Battery 96%. Everything works great. Before this purchase, I ordered an iPad Pro tablet (good condition), it arrived in very good condition. I recommend ordering only here.

recently purchased an iPhone 15 Pro from Back Market, opting for the ‘Fair’ condition due to budget constraints. To my surprise, the phone arrived in excellent condition – it looks and feels almost brand new! The recycle count is below 30, which is incredible, and the device even came with a warranty, giving me extra peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Back Market exceeded my expectations, offering top-quality products at affordable prices. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to save money without compromising on quality. Thank you, Back Market!

Great product, I bought the iPhone 15 pro and blue colour 128 GB model battery health is at 100% with only 150 cycles use the only issue with the phone is that is there is a small crack on the glass on the back of the phone other than that it’s a very good product and definitely worth the money I spent on it will be purchasing from Back Market again

Better than I could have expected. For reference I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro 256GB in excellent condition. I received the package 2 days before the expected delivery date. The iPhone had 99% battery health, and only 150 charges. Immaculate cosmetic condition on the screen, camera, back and sides. Honestly I could not be happier with my purchase. If you are worried about receiving a lower quality phone from Back Market, I can assure you that the ‘excellent condition’ phones are truly excellent.

iPhone 15 Pro 256GB - Black Titanium - UnlockedSearches so popular you can't sit with them
The iPhone 15 Pro has a 6.1-inch XDR OLED display but comes with upgraded titanium housing not found with its entry-level counterparts. As with the 15 Pro Max, the 15 Pro boasts a multifunctional action button and a new standby mode. It also has a powerful A17 Pro chip and upgraded GPU, making it faster than previous Apple models. An additional telephoto lens gives you a triple-camera setup.
Looking to access these new and improved iPhone features? You can easily pick up a cheap iPhone 15 Pro at Back Market. With savings of up to 50% compared to brand-new models, you can get the phone you want without spending a fortune.
Buying a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro refurbished isn't the same as purchasing a used device. Every refurbished iPhone 15 Pro model listed on Back Market undergoes extensive checks by our refurbishment team. Any maintenance and repairs are made before devices are listed for sale, while a 12-month warranty means you don't have to worry about performance. Have you changed your mind? Our money-back guarantee gives you 30 days to send a return and request a refund.
Some refurbished iPhone 15 Pro models listed for sale have been previously owned. Others are returned stock, having only been used briefly by a previous owner. What's more, some of the refurbished iPhone 15 devices we list are ex-display models. This means they've never had another owner and have barely been handled since coming off the manufacturing line.
Unlike the basic iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, the 15 Pro features the new A17 Pro chip and hexa-core CPU and GPU enhancements. There's also an extra camera sensor and telephoto functionality, along with a slate of new colors to choose from. The technical specs are almost identical to the 15 Pro Max, although its bigger brother has a larger screen and higher resolutions.
Although the iPhone 14 Pro isn't as powerful as the 15 Pro, it still outperforms many smartphones on the market. If titanium casings and telephoto cameras aren't your priority, the 14 Pro is something to consider.
If you're more comfortable with Android, there's the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra. Both Samsung devices have a slightly bigger battery and offer faster charging. They also come with a similar triple-camera setup and almost identical dimensions. However, a refurbished S23 will prove far cheaper than an iPhone 15 Pro.
If you don't need huge amounts of processing power, there's always the Google Pixel 8. User-friendly and great for streaming and photography, the Pixel 8 comes with seven years of security updates, making it a good long-term investment.
