    I ordered an iPhone XS because I'm on a tight budget, and I can say without a doubt that my next phone will come from the Back Market! The condition was superb, and it even came with a screen protector. I was thoroughly impressed and have recommended that my friends and family exclusively buy from here. If you have any doubts about the quality or condition of the product, then purchasing a product in "Excellent" condition would be right for you. The device arrived at my door 3 days earlier than the expected delivery date. My only complaint is that the phone came with 80% battery health, but that's to be expected with an older device. It was also a nice surprise that the phone came with a promo code for Visible by Verizon to save $5 on my plan for 36 months. 9.5/10 would highly recommend.

    Buying refurbished there’s only so much you’re allowed to complain about. I bought in good condition and there’s a minor minor scuff at the bottom that you couldn’t even bother to notice making this in my mind excellent condition. Only complaints are screen isn’t fully seated not genuine apple screen (duh) OLED screen would’ve been nice but like I said can’t complain so much other then that I’m happy with the phone. Will be back later for battery review.

    Works fine and seems to be everything it was advertised as. My only issue is that it's battery was an after market one instead of an apple OEM, and I have a perpetual notice in settings of a health fault.

    I was really surprised at the quality of the phone! I didn’t expect so much for the price but they really showed that they are environmentally conscious and dedicated to quality- they even added a new seal to the screen! I would buy more now, seeing how they refurbish phones. Other products will be purchased with confidence! Highly recommended.

    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+++
