I love love LOVE being able to purchase these refurbished items. I use this for all of my phones and tech and I haven't been let down yet. I bought a brand new laptop for $1200 from a manufacturer and it lasted less than a year, but everything that I bought from here has worked so well for the past 5-ish years! I work in IT so I started buying here figuring that I could just fix this cheap stuff as it breaks but (knock on wood) everything has been working great!
The only issue I have ever have has been Apple killing the battery of old phones with updates, but they do that even with non-refurbished stuff. I feel a lot better spending $200-$400 every 3 years for a new-to-me phone instead of $800-$1500. My whole family uses it now too because saving money and preventing electronic waste is awesome since being green usually costs more instead of less. What a great deal!
I bought a Mac mini from here last year for my teen and was very satisfied with that purchase. I returned for an iPhone 8, my teen's first phone, and had my husband set it up. He was very impressed with its condition and speed considering it was an iPhone 8; he purchased an iPhone 13 from Back Market the same night. I won't be drinking the Apple Juice anytime soon but my guys are happy.
Writing this review 4-5 years later to say, its been great having this phone and when I bought it in 2019 for “Fair” or “good” quality, it came perfect with a charged up battery that lasted me what felt like a lifetime. I’m so attached to this phone but it’s time to start a new chapter, my new phone is coming from back market too, see you in 4 years with an update!
I have owned this phone close to 4 years now, and hate to get rid of it but I need more storage space for webinars, etc. it was an excellent phone, although it was listed as very good. No scratches, dents anything. I definitely recommend Backmarket to anyone who wants to outright purchase their phone for an outstanding price. I believe that you get what you pay for, but in this case, I got a lot more. I am extremely grateful for them!
It works good and 88% battery is good to have and love it came in excellent condition like I ordered but only one thing that it get super hot not to much of a fan of that but still like it thank you Back Market will be shopping more
Love the iphone. it was as advertised. Do Not count on the estimated delivery date. When I purchased the phone it said it would come within two days and it took 5 days. Not a big deal unless you're counting on it.
arrived quickly- phone like new, as if it just came from the manufacturer. Excellent purchase! I will be buying all my electronics from Backend in the future! Bonus it helps the environment! Great job Backend! Highly recommend!!!😁
The item worked REALLY well. However, I suggest you get a heavy battery since using it day to day (with cracks and issues along the journey) caused the battery to deplete. other than that, works REALLY well, and definitely is a high recommend for a starter phone for a teen!
This iphone 8 was in great condition. i orderd excellent condition. but i did find a slight scratch on the back. other then that the phone is great! i will be buying someting off here again !!
When you buy an unlocked iPhone 8, 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 8 at a low price.
Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone 8?
Your unlocked iPhone 8 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.

What to expect when buying a refurbished unlocked iPhone 8
