    I recommend BackMarket to everyone looking to buy a used phone or even a used device they can't find elsewhere but want a reliable refurbishement. I've bought 3 iPhones all the same model and storage when I have somehow ruined my previous one and have been super happy with each one i have gotten. Even when I have chosen just a "Fair" condition, it has seemed to me to be mint. They do great refurbs and I feel like I'm helping keep these out of landfills by buying them here. Thanks guys for the best phone purchases I've ever made anywhere. Never a regret and always come away with a feel good purchase!! A+++

    This was my first purchase on third party apps such as black market regarding apple products and I ordered an iPhone XS with excellent quality however the battery capacity was 84%. I wasn’t expecting a battery of 84% as listed as an excellent quality. Raises a question on other products especially that are marked as excellent condition.

    iPhone came within a couple of days after placing the order. No crack screen no marks . Perfect condition. I got an IPhone xs in good condition. The only problem is whenever I charge the phone it starts overheating but everything else is still works fine .

    Great experience and fair price. Although I ordered an iPhone XS in excellent condition, the invoice shows it as "very good". Regardless, it is in great condition and has been working fine so far. Thank you!

    As always, my Back Market iPhones arrived looking and working like new. I just updated from an iphone 7+ to an iphone XS and the XS is in perfect condition. This is the 5th iphone update I’ve used Back Market to implement, and on each occasion everything worked perfectly. I could not be happier.

    Bought iP,hone Xs "Excellent" condition. Looked perfect. Not a scratch. Amazingly had 100% battery health, not 85%. Wow! Only prob was muffled microphone sound (and battery a bit warm). Communicated w/ BackMarket and they were on it immediately. Absolutely communicated within 24 hrs. Told me to do recovery for privacy and send it in. Vendor tried to fix microphone but could not and did not have another Xs in stock. So full refund! (If you get a chance to buy from vendor WeGoWeFix, do so. They respond quickly by text and are very helpful. Just wonderful experience from both BackMarket and WeGoWeFix. I am now be a loyal client of both and am looking for another iPhone Xs on BackMarket. I appeciate companies that live up to their own goals of great customer service.

    Back Market is great. However, this is the second time ordering and receiving phones from this specific seller and BOTH phones had a problem. The iPhone 12 was not quite in the condition advertised. Screen was supposed to be Flawless but had a couple of obviously visible scratches and the iPhone XS had problems with the earpiece (almost no volume). Every other of my many purchases thru Back Market were GREAT!

    This is the 4th phone I’ve ordered from Backmarket. I had no doubt it wouldn’t be in great shape and does everything without hesitation or glitch. Only thing that concerns me, is the battery. It gets hot quick and I keep getting an alert saying it’s not a genuine apple part. Other than that, completely satisfied and will buy from backmarket again!

Should I buy an unlocked iPhone XS?


When you buy an unlocked iPhone XS, 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 XS at a low price.


Which networks can I use an unlocked iPhone XS?


Your unlocked iPhone XS 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. 

 

Unlocked iPhone XS warranty and return policy


All locked or unlocked iPhone XS purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPhone XS for your needs at the lowest price. In 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 XS


When you buy an unlocked iPhone XS from Back Market, you'll be receiving a phone that has not been activated with any network yet. It's still a fully functional device, but you will not be able to make any calls, text or access the internet without Wi-Fi until it has been properly activated with a carrier of your choice.

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