At Back Market, customers save big compared to the price of new on certified refurbished iPhone 12 mini models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or pre-owned iPhone 12 mini compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a renewed iPhone 12 mini is also a better environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone 12 mini is often a second-hand device that has been restored and updated to meet the Apple's manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Apple iPhones out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimize your carbon footprint.
If you're looking to score the best iPhone 12 mini deal and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPhone 12 mini models at Back Market. That's because we specialize specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have plenty of refurbed iPhone 12 mini phones to choose from in price ranges to fit your smartphone budget.
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 a more affordable iPhone 12 mini on our platform.
All iPhone 12 mini purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPhone for your needs at lower prices.
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your iPhone 12 mini may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your iPhone and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store.
You should also be confident that your iPhone 12 mini is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.
If you already have an iPhone 12 mini that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra room in your budget. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current iPhone.
