Why should I buy a refurbished iPhone over a new one?
The obvious answer to why you should buy refurbished anything is because it will usually save you money. Every year, Apple releases the newest iPhone in September, starting around $800. On the other hand, buying an iPhone on Back Market typically saves shoppers 30-70% compared to buying new. For example, as of December 2023, you can find an iPhone 14 starting at $530 or an iPhone 13 starting at $358 on our marketplace. That's 30-55% less than the flagship model for an amazing iPhone that's only one or two generations old.
Are refurbished iPhones worth it?
Absolutely - the secret that most US shoppers don't know is that a properly refurbished iPhone will work the exact same as a brand new one. So if the quality for a refurbished iPhone is the same as a new one, why wouldn't you pick the cheaper option? If the price tag isn't enough reason, then you should also know that refurbishing electronics has a very positive impact on the environment.
