I got the iPhone 13, upgrading from the 11 and I really don’t regret it. However, the shipping took a lot longer than it was supposed to. Which wasn’t the sellers fault or Back Markets fault, FedEx just isn’t the best. Anyways, I got the phone in “Excellent” condition, which basically means brand new. It had 2 scratches on it when it came (maybe more) one of them were very noticeable, but it didn’t bother me. However, there was a weird imprint on the screen, it didn’t affect the screen itself at all, but it looked like it had been damaged when you titled it a certain way to the light. There was no scratches or damage to the body of the phone. It came with 95% battery health which I’m a little disappointed with because Ive always bought my refurbished phones off Amazon and they’ve always come with 100% battery health. But you cant complain much considering the price. I would say it’s worth it.

My iPhone 13 (256GB, Starlight, unlocked) is in impeccible condition! It's battery health is at 100%. Techmint (the refurbisher for my device) shipped it well and quickly (ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Tuesday, coming from Austin to the DFW area where I live). Techmint included a lightning cable, a usb charging brick, and the pin to remove the SIM card drawer. Techmint did not disappoint in the least and I highly recommend this refurbisher if you can purchase from them. I have experience purchasing from Backmarket and have bought various devices including iPads, a laptop, an Apple watch and two iPhones from Backmarket. So far, I have not been disappointed.

Loved how fast and reliable the service was. The process of placing my order was easy and I didn’t have any problems. I paid for the upgrade to “excellent”, and I was expecting an item in decent condition that was going to look used. However, the condition of the phone I received exceeded expectations. It looks and works like a brand new phone from Apple. The battery is at 100% performance, the screen is in perfect condition,, and the same applies to the body of the phone; there are no dents, no scratches, nothing indicates that this phone has been refurbished. Will buy from this company again in the future.

Got my phone a day early which was a nice surprise. The phone is in excellent condition and includes the cable and block (something that apple doesn’t do anymore). Cant tell it was refurbished cept for the slight scratches on the corner but no one can see it with the case on. Very satisfied!

I’ve bought multiple devices now from Back Market. They have yet to disappoint. I bought my wife a new iPad 6 months ago and it’s been amazing. I recently bought everyone refurbished iPhones at a fraction of the price of new ones. I will definitely continue to be a returning customer.

Buying an iPhone 13 unlocked

Before you buy your next phone, it’s helpful to consider whether you want a locked or unlocked device. If you’ve ever bought a cell phone from your carrier, chances are it was locked. On the other hand, phones purchased directly from the manufacturer are often unlocked. 

The main difference between a locked vs unlocked iPhone is that carrier-locked phones can only be used with a specific carrier’s network. Unlocked phones can be used with any carrier and on any network. Let’s look at some of the pros and cons of buying an iPhone 13 unlocked.

Unlocked iPhone 13 Prices

One of the main disadvantages of buying an unlocked iPhone 13 is the price. Unlocked devices are typically more expensive than their locked counterparts. Carriers typically offer incentives and deals on locked devices, meaning you can spend less money on the device itself if you’re cool with staying with the same carrier. 

If you plan to travel or want the freedom to change carriers without buying a new phone, it might be worth paying a little more for an unlocked phone. One of the best ways to buy an unlocked iPhone 13 and still save some cash is to shop for a refurbished unlocked iPhone.   

Where to buy an unlocked iPhone 13?

Buying an unlocked iPhone 13 that’s used or refurbished will save you money—but you’ll want to make sure you’re getting a high quality device from a trusted seller. It’s easy enough to find unlocked used iPhones for sale online, but they can vary wildly when it comes to condition and how well they work. 

When you buy an unlocked iPhone 13 (or anything else) at Back Market, you’ll know exactly what condition the device is in before you buy it. Our transparent grading system lets you know what to expect and helps you stay within your budget by giving you the choice of three different grades: Fair, Very Good, or Excellent.

You’ll also avoid the possibility of getting a used device that hasn’t been repaired or doesn’t work as you expected. Every device sold on Back Market is tested and refurbished by experts and guaranteed to be 100% functional. We back it up with a 12-month minimum warranty on every purchase, and you’ll have 30 days to change your mind.   

Not only will you save money on a high quality unlocked iPhone 13 from Back Market, you’ll be making a more eco-friendly choice by buying a refurbished device instead of new. It’s a challenge to properly dispose of electronics, and refurbished devices help save the environment from the negative effects of e-waste. Refurbishing used phones also uses fewer of our planet’s precious natural resources than manufacturing new devices.
