Is the iPhone 14 Plus still worth buying?

The iPhone 14 Plus is still a genuinely solid buy. Its 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A15 Bionic chip, and up to 26 hours of battery life make it one of the most capable non-Pro iPhones you can get. It supports 5G, works unlocked on all US carriers, and is fully compatible with iOS 26. Starting at $311 refurbished, that's less than half the price of a new one. Not sure which model fits you?

Blackddragon000 review> before engaging with Back Market,I did a thorough research that reached out to even several reputed review & complaints sites & finally decided to take the plunge ( used/ refurbished elsewhere,I noticed has not much protection that I saw here) & after a period of use/testing congratulated myself on having taken a wise decision > those around me who usually purchase new items were astounded at the condition of this device that looked/ performed the same as a brand new iphone. I'm awaiting the delivery of another Back Market item & am preparing to evaluate other devices soon > also, I'm in discussions with the company about referring Back Market products to others.

This iPhone 14 Plus in excellent condition as stated, looks brand new. It works perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Back Market is definitely the way to go when buying a refurbished phone and I have already recommended them to my friends. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end and I got a good price for my trade-in too. I will definitely buy my next phone from them.

I’m extremely happy with my purchase of a refurbished iPhone 14 Plus. I upgraded from an iPhone SE. I would not have been able to afford this model without the opportunity to buy refurbished. I’m experiencing health issues and my budget is tight. I’m combining this phone with a refurbished watch to stay safe and track my health. At first there were some overheating issues but that was resolved after an iOS update. Battery healthy 80%+. I especially appreciate the professional support and one year warranty. If given the choice between Back Market or another major marketplace, I’ll choose Back Market every time. I feel this platform has the best quality control. Thanks!
