Is it worth buying a refurbished iPhone?

Yes, buying a refurbished iPhone is worth it if you want genuine Apple quality at 30-70% less than new. A refurbished iPhone from Back Market is a pre-owned device that's been professionally tested, repaired if needed, and comes with at least a 12-month commercial warranty. You get the same performance and features as a new iPhone, without the inflated price or environmental cost. Buying refurbished saves approximately 82kg of CO₂e compared to buying new (roughly equivalent to a 300-mile car journey). The trade-off is minor cosmetic wear depending on grade, but functionally it's the same device.

What is the best refurbished iPhone to buy?

The iPhone 13 is the best refurbished iPhone to buy in [year] for most people. It balances performance, price, and longevity with the A15 Bionic chip, dual-camera system with Night mode and Cinematic mode, 5G connectivity, and guaranteed software support through at least iOS 20. On Back Market, the iPhone 13 typically costs 40-50% below new, making it better value than the iPhone 15 or 16, which offer only incremental upgrades for higher prices. If your budget is tighter, the iPhone 12 is a strong alternative. For power users who need ProRAW photography or a 120Hz display, consider the iPhone 14 Pro or 15 Pro.

Are refurbished iPhones from Back Market reliable?

Yes, refurbished iPhones from Back Market are reliable because every device is tested across up to 100 checkpoints by certified refurbishers, backed by at least a 12-month commercial warranty, and covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Each iPhone undergoes diagnostics on battery health (minimum 80% capacity, often 85%+), screen, camera, connectivity, and physical condition. Failing components get replaced with quality parts. Back Market continuously monitors refurbisher performance, and sellers with high return rates or low satisfaction scores lose marketplace access. You're getting a professionally restored device with transparent grading (Premium, Excellent, Good, Fair), not a mystery phone.

Do refurbished iPhones come with a warranty?

Yes. Every iPhone sold on Back Market comes with a minimum 1-year warranty. On top of that, you have 30 days to return the device for any reason.

I love my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and am amazed with the quality- it arrived in perfect condition. Looks like a brand new phone with no scratches or damage and has a battery health of 84%. I was initially looking for refurbished phones on Apple’s certified refurbished site and they have this same model (1TB storage) listed for around $1300 after taxes.

recently purchased an iPhone 14 from Back Market, and I’m honestly really impressed with the experience. I was a bit skeptical about buying a refurbished phone at first, but it exceeded my expectations. The phone arrived quickly and was in excellent condition—honestly, it looked almost brand new. There were little to no visible scratches, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. The battery life has been solid, and performance is just as smooth and fast as you’d expect from an iPhone 14. What I appreciated most was the value for money. I was able to get a high-quality device at a much lower price than buying brand new, which made it totally worth it. The setup process was easy, and I haven’t had any issues with connectivity, camera quality, or apps. Overall, I’d definitely recommend buying from Back Market if you’re looking to save money without sacrificing quality. This was a great purchase, and I’d do it again.

So happy to have a 13 mini back. Same GB’s and even same color as I’d had before. It was a mistake to try the iPhone 17; too big and too heavy. Researched reliable refurbished iPhones, and Back Market came up as one. As recommended, I also checked out the individual vendor’s reviews; good as well, with years of experience. Ordering was easy; arrived on date stated, and the battery at 92%, with (I think) an Apple battery, because I didn’t get the warning about a non-Apple part (they stated may happen with non-Apple battery) upon turning it on. Battery lasts about 4.5 hours, way less than the 17 which lasts all day. However, I recalled that pretty much is standard with the 13 mini. It simply does not have the battery power of the bigger phones. I expected it to get a bit warm while transferring my data from the 17, yet it never got hot. My phone plan immediately recognized the 13 mini without me having to do anything on their site. I’ve had it about 2 weeks now; and so far, so good.

This is the second phone I’ve ordered from backmarket, I recommend them to EVERYONE! Not only are they reducing waste, but you can’t beat their prices either!! I ordered the iPhone 12 mini in “fair” condition, and it showed up looking brand new with only a few teeny scratches on the body! For $150 you seriously can’t beat it. I’ve never had issues with the longevity of their refurbished phones, my previous one lasted almost 5 years. The battery capacity on this one is 80% and it has no problem getting through the whole day off a full charge. Everything works like it’s supposed to with zero issues! I love this company, I love this phone, and I could NOT be happier :)

Refurbished iPhone FAQs

Yes, buying a refurbished iPhone is worth it if you want genuine Apple quality at 30-70% less than new. A refurbished iPhone from Back Market is a pre-owned device that's been professionally tested, repaired if needed, and comes with at least a 12-month commercial warranty. You get the same performance and features as a new iPhone, without the inflated price or environmental cost. Buying refurbished saves approximately 82kg of CO₂e compared to buying new (roughly equivalent to a 300-mile car journey). The trade-off is minor cosmetic wear depending on grade, but functionally it's the same device.
The iPhone 13 is the best refurbished iPhone to buy in 2026 for most people. It balances performance, price, and longevity with the A15 Bionic chip, dual-camera system with Night mode and Cinematic mode, 5G connectivity, and guaranteed software support through at least iOS 20. On Back Market, the iPhone 13 typically costs 40-50% below new, making it better value than the iPhone 15 or 16, which offer only incremental upgrades for higher prices. If your budget is tighter, the iPhone 12 is a strong alternative. For power users who need ProRAW photography or a 120Hz display, consider the iPhone 14 Pro or 15 Pro.
Yes, refurbished iPhones from Back Market are reliable because every device is tested across up to 100 checkpoints by certified refurbishers, backed by at least a 12-month commercial warranty, and covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Each iPhone undergoes diagnostics on battery health (minimum 80% capacity, often 85%+), screen, camera, connectivity, and physical condition. Failing components get replaced with quality parts. Back Market continuously monitors refurbisher performance, and sellers with high return rates or low satisfaction scores lose marketplace access. You're getting a professionally restored device with transparent grading (Premium, Excellent, Good, Fair), not a mystery phone.
The savings are real. An iPhone 15 that retails new at $1,129? You can grab a certified refurbished one starting at $340, saving you up to 68.02%% off. iPhone 16 Pro? From $600 refurbished vs. $1,499 new, saving you over 59.97%% without giving up a single spec. The newer the model, the bigger the savings gap, but even older models like the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 offer serious value if you just need a reliable daily driver.
Yes. Every iPhone sold on Back Market comes with a minimum 1-year warranty. On top of that, you have 30 days to return the device for any reason.

Why buy a refurbished iPhone?

What does "refurbished" actually mean?

A refurbished iPhone is a previously owned device that's been professionally restored to full working condition. Think of it less as "used" and more as "ready for round two." Our partner refurbishers put every iPhone through a rigorous inspection, replace any faulty components (screens, batteries, buttons), and test everything from Face ID to the camera. The result? A device that works like new, costs way less, and didn't require mining fresh lithium or rare earth metals to build.

Why Back Market is the safest place to buy refurbished

We're not just a marketplace. We're picky. Only 1 in 3 sellers who apply to work with us actually make the cut. Every device is graded for cosmetic condition (Fair, Good, Excellent, or Premium), so you know exactly what you're getting. If something goes wrong, you're covered by a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. No fine print, no gotchas. Just a phone that works, for a fraction of the price.

Refurbished vs. used: what's the difference?

"Used" means someone sold their old phone and you're buying it as-is. "Refurbished" means it's been professionally inspected, repaired if needed, cleaned, and tested by experts. Every refurbished iPhone on Back Market meets the same functional standards as a new device. The only difference? It might have a tiny scratch you'll never notice, and it costs 40–50% less.

How much can you save?

The savings are real. An iPhone 15 that retails new at $699? You can grab a certified refurbished one starting at $336, saving you up to 52% off. iPhone 16 Pro? From $581 refurbished vs. $999 new, saving you over 42% without giving up a single spec. The newer the model, the bigger the savings gap, but even older models like the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 offer serious value if you just need a reliable daily driver.

Want to track prices by model?

Refurbished iPhone prices shift constantly depending on storage, condition, and demand. If you're trying to time your purchase or compare options across grades, our price guides give you a live, model-specific breakdown.

iPhone 14 price guide: Starting at $283 for 128 GB in Fair condition. One of the best entry points if you want a recent iPhone without the recent price tag.

iPhone 14 — Reliable, affordable, proven. From $230 (vs. $629 new). Still gets iOS updates, still handles everything most people throw at it. One of the best price-to-performance ratios on the market.
iPhone 13 — The budget champion. From $215 (vs.$629 new). A15 Bionic chip, dual cameras, and years of software support ahead. If you just need a great phone that works, this is it.
iPhone SE (2022) — The cheapest iPhone that still feels like an iPhone. From $115 (vs. $429 new). Touch ID, compact size, and the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13. Perfect for first-time smartphone users or minimalists.

What condition grades should I choose?

Back Market uses four cosmetic grades, all of which are fully functional:

Premium: Looks brand new. Zero visible scratches.
Excellent: Minor wear, invisible unless you're really looking.
Good: Light cosmetic wear, but fully functional.
Fair: Visible scratches or dents, but works perfectly.

If you keep your phone in a case (most people do), even a Fair grade device will feel brand new once it's covered.

How does buying refurbished help the environment?

Manufacturing a new smartphone generates 77 kg of CO2e on average. Buying refurbished avoids 92% of those emissions, about 71 kg CO2e saved per device. Global smartphone production emitted 57 million tons of CO2e in 2022 alone. Refurbishment is one of the most effective ways to cut tech's environmental footprint without giving up the tech itself.

Bottom line: refurbished iPhones are the smarter buy in 2026

Here's the truth Big Tech doesn't advertise: the iPhone you buy today was designed to last way longer than two years. Buying refurbished isn't settling. It's refusing to pay a premium for a box and shrink wrap. Every iPhone on Back Market is fully functional, backed by a 1-year warranty, and unlocked for any carrier. You get the same iOS experience, the same ecosystem, the same app compatibility. The only thing you're missing? The guilt of contributing to 62 million tons of annual e-waste.

Manufacturing a new smartphone emits 77 kg of CO2e on average. A refurbished one avoids 92% of those emissions, about 71 kg CO2e saved per device. Multiply that by millions of devices, and refurbishment isn't just a good deal: it's one of the most effective ways individuals can reduce tech-related emissions.

Whether you're upgrading from an older model or switching to iPhone for the first time, Back Market gives you the specs you want, the savings you need, and the peace of mind that comes from a marketplace that actually vets its sellers. Welcome to the smarter side of tech.
