    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.

    My iPhone XS was as described, in excellent (like-new) condition. It replaced another iPhone XS I purchased from Back Market that was 23 months old. That phone was still in great condition and functioned perfectly until I damaged it with water.

    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!

    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!

    The only downside was that my payment wouldn't go through on the website, no matter which payment option I tried. The payment did work fine on the app. The phone itself is perfect - I'm completely satisfied.

    Shipping was fast but when the phone arrived, it didn't come with a charger. I contacted the seller who solved the problem and sent me the charger. The phone runs out of battery very quickly, I don't know if it's because it's been changed recently or because it needs to be replaced. Overall, I haven't had any problems with the way it works yet.

    Just received and so far it’s a 10/10! It took 6 days to get to me and even tho i ordered a “fair” device it came perfectly, Perfect screen and 95% battery health which was more than my old one! And switching over my sim cards for activation was super easy! Highly recommend 🫶🏼

    I’m a quadriplegic everything in my entire life is a pain in the ass all of the time. I brought an iPhone 12 off of Facebook marketplace, of course lots of stuff is wrong with it. The only thing that was an easy piece of cake was ordering this phone and setting it up and everything worked the way it was supposed to. I haven’t had any troubles with it. It’s been great thanks for doing exactly what you said you would do when no one else in the world fucking does.

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.
