    I bought my first refurbished IPhone with Backmarket in 2019 - an IPhone 7. I got it in the "excellent" condition and it was excellent for 5 years! I loved my IPhone 7 and the only reason I gave it up was because the IOS would only go to 14 and some of my needed apps did not support IOS 14 anymore. So with a great deal of research, including articles on BackMarket, I decided on an IPhone 13, again in "excellent" condition, trading in my old Iphone 7. Trade-in super easy - was given a trade-in price within seconds, free shipping, constant communication, and $ within my bank account all within a week. As for my IPhone 13 - Apple has made copying from old phone to new phone a breeze (not like the old days with needing to backup and copy from ICloud). The Iphone 13 came well packaged and yes, in excellent condition. Beautiful phone. I highly recommend BackMarket to anyone looking at getting a "new" phone. Website so easy to navigate, great customer service and clear communication, AND most important, doing something nice for our cherished planet.

    The refurbished iPhone 13 is great so far! The setup process was pretty easy, and everything’s working as expected. One small thing—this won’t affect my rating, but it’s worth mentioning: the mail-in kit for sending back my old phone for trade-in took a long time to arrive. I was getting close to the trade-in deadline, so I ended up using the packaging from the new phone instead. Aside from that, everything went smoothly.

    I was nervous because I didn’t think buying a refurbished used phone was going to be worth it. This is a lot of money we are talking about. I got the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and sadly got the last color available for this price. It has 1000 GB of storage and some reviews talk about the battery life not being 100%. I got mine and that was the first thing I checked after looking at the exterior (the outside of the phone isn’t cracked, it’s perfect. There’s a little bit of dirt in the speakers but the phone is used what do I expect) anyways the battery life is at 100% thankfully. Everything works good, sometimes my phone is laggy but it might be because it carries so much storage and data. I’ve had it for a week, but I’m so happy with my purchase. I think I got very lucky. I got the excellent quality one and it was worth the extra money.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 13 from Back Market in “good” condition, and I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised by how great it turned out. The phone itself is super clean, with just a tiny scratch that's barely noticeable, it doesn’t affect the look or usability at all. The battery percentage came at 91%, which is pretty solid for a refurbished device. It holds charge well, and I haven’t experienced any issues with battery life. Performance-wise, the phone runs smoothly, with no glitches or unexpected lag. Everything from Face ID to the camera works perfectly, making it feel almost like a brand-new device. Overall, Back Market delivered exactly what was promised. If you're considering buying a refurbished phone, I’d definitely recommend giving them a shot, you can get great quality for a reasonable price. And it was delivered in 2 days!!

    I received my iPhone 13 today in Nairobi, Kenya, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations! The condition of the phone is superb—practically like new—and it was delivered right on time. The performance, design, and sleek Midnight finish are simply outstanding. I also appreciate the professionalism of Back Market in ensuring the buying process was smooth and transparent. I will definitely recommend Back Market to friends and family looking for reliable refurbished products. Thank you for delivering quality and value!

    I been using the iPhone for almost 2 weeks now, this is not my first purchase from back market and I never disappointed with their products and services. I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro alpine green and I’m very impressed with that color. The iPhone arrived pretty quick and the condition is flawless. The phone runs smooth and the battery lasted about day and a half. So far so good. I’ll definitely continue doing business with back market and their awesome refurbished items. Thanks!!

    I purchased the blue iPhone 13 (128 GB) almost two weeks ago. I was initially hesitant, as I don’t typically buy refurbished devices. However, after reading so many positive reviews about Back Market—and wanting to finally try an iPhone—I figured this was a great opportunity to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email the same day I placed the order, confirming it had already been handed off to the parcel carrier. Had I entered my address correctly, it would have arrived within two days. In my excitement, I accidentally transposed a 7 and a 5 in the street number. Totally my fault. I contacted Back Market support to see if they could help update the shipping info, and while they couldn’t guarantee anything, the support team was friendly and made an effort to assist. Thankfully, I was able to intercept the package at a nearby FedEx office. The phone arrived in a simple white box with a compatible charging cable (no wall plug included). The device itself was listed as “Good” condition, but honestly, I’d say it was closer to “Very Good.” The screen and back were flawless. There are two tiny dings in the silver frame, but you have to really look for them to noti...

    I needed a new phone but I didn’t want to buy new just because they’re so expensive. My friend recommended this site and I had bought my last phone refurbished so I decided to buy another one off this website. I bought a used pink iPhone 13 in excellent condition. The phone looks and works great, however the screen is not in the condition I thought I was paying for. At the top there is an imperfection underneath the screen where it looks like the screen has been impacted. There are small bits of blue, green, and black right at the top that resemble the screen of a phone that has been busted. It’s not a big deal and doesn’t affect the use of the phone, just slightly annoying. Other than this I am thrilled with my phone.

    Sunflower I was kind of hesitant to buy a refurbished phone but I tell you what back Market has went above expectations. My iPhone 13 Pro Max was brand new looking and was just beautiful. I will definitely be a continuing Shopper on back Market.

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone 13?


When you buy an unlocked iPhone 13, you'll have multiple options for choosing a carrier network. It is the safest option if you're not already locked into a long term contract with a network like Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T. With an unlocked phone, you also have the option to easily switch between different network providers if you need to.

However, if you're happy with your current network provider and you don't plan on switching any time soon, you might save a little more money by shopping for an iPhone locked to a carrier. Locked phones tend to cost less than unlocked phones on average.

Whichever you option you pick, Back Market has plenty of options to help you find an iPhone 13 at a low price.

Locked vs Unlocked iPhone


Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone 13?


Your unlocked iPhone 13 from Back Market will work with all 3 major carriers in the US: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Since it is compatible with all 3 networks, you can also activate it under each of their Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) including Mint, Straight Talk, US Mobile, Cricket, Boost Mobile, Google Fi, Metro and others.

n 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. 

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished unlocked iPhone 13


When you buy an unlocked iPhone 13 from Back Market, you'll be receiving a phone that has not been activated with any network yet.

Activating your iPhone 13 might look slightly depending on the network, but you can learn more about the activation process on our help page.
