Since it's release in 2019, the iPhone 11 has come down in price significantly. The iPhone 11 might be a great budget option for you - today you can find one in the price range of $150-350+ depending on a few factors.
Today, you can find an iPhone 11 for under $200. However, the exact price will depend on the phone's storage, color, condition and carrier compatibility.
For example, you'll find refurbished smartphone sellers like Back Market grade an iPhone 11 based on the external condition of the device from Fair, Good, Excellent and Premium. Obviously, the higher the graded condition of the phone, the more expensive it will likely be and vice versa. Right now, the price for a Black 64GB Unlocked iPhone 11 on Back Market ranges from $203 to $318.*
Carrier compatibility will also affect the price. If you need an unlocked iPhone 11, prices on average are likely going to be a little higher. On Back Market, an unlocked iPhone 11 will cost in the range of $200-$350. If you opt for a phone that's locked to a carrier like AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile, then you'll find a lower price range starting around $160.*

You can still find an iPhone 11 to purchase at most tech retailers like Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Best Buy. However, you should consider buying from a trusted and dedicated marketplace to refurbished electronics. Back Market, for example, specializes in verified refurbished tech, so average quality of the iPhones sold on site is much higher than general retailers.
Buying an iPhone 11 in Excellent or Premium condition from Back Market is like buying an iPhone 11 straight from the Apple Store back in 2019.
If you want to get the cheapest price for the iPhone 11, you'll likely need to make some sacrifices like storage, carrier compatibility, external condition and performance guarantees. Right now, the cheapest iPhone 11 on Back Market is $168 for a black 64GB iPhone 11 locked to AT&T in Fair condition.*
You also might be able to find a cheaper "used" iPhone 11, elsewhere. These tend to be riskier purchases because the phone performance is not guaranteed and the condition is sold 'as-is'. It's better to make sure you're finding comparable prices from a reputable refurbished seller, who has properly repaired, cleaned and tested the iPhone 11 to ensure proper function. Refurbished iPhones are also typically backed by a guarantee, so you can buy with peace of mind.
Back Market offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a full 1-year warranty on all iPhone purchases.

In addition to getting a quality used phone, buying from Back Market also helps decrease humanity’s footprint on the environment and foster the idea of a circular economy. We believe that people should spend less on new tech and more on the things that really matter.
You can also trade in your old iPhone to help keep electronic waste out of our landfills and give you a couple extra bucks to spend on your next smartphone.
