Intro: Rise of the Space Black Phoenix: The iPhone 14 Pro 256GB from Back Market isn’t just a phone; it's a comeback story in a sleek Space Black suit. Unboxing this beauty felt like revealing a secret agent gadget – classy, cool, and with a license to thrill.
Craftsmanship: Darth Vader Would Be Jealous: This phone’s build is so premium, it makes other phones look like they’re wearing hand-me-downs. Space Black is not just a color; it’s an attitude. And refurbished? More like, it's been to a spa and back.
Performance: Like a Cheetah on a Rocket: Powered by the A16 Bionic, this device is faster than my ability to make puns. 256GB means I can hoard apps like a digital squirrel and still have room for more.
Photography Wizard: Hogwarts Certified: The camera turns every shot into a masterpiece. I mean, if Van Gogh had a smartphone, this would be it. Night mode isn't just a feature; it's a nocturnal magic show.
Display: Your Eyes Will Thank You: The Super Retina XDR display is so vibrant, rainbows would feel insecure. And with ProMotion, scrolling is smoother than my best pick-up lines.
Battery Life: Energizer Bunny's Role Model: It lasts longer than my resolve to avoid sweets. And ...

So far I am absolutely delighted with my refurbished iPhone 13 it is everything it said it would be. It came very quickly and well packed. I haven’t yet received the refund on my iPhone 11. Once the money is in the bank . This is the second refurbished phone and an Apple Watch from Back market and they have all been excellent.
The exchange refund on my iPhone 11 worked brilliantly. Money safely in the bank so upgrade achieved painlessly and for a reasonable outlay.

iphone 12 pro Fair grade 》 Iphone 12 pro excellent grade.
I just want to say it my first experience buying used refurbished mobile. i have been buying brand new apple from more then 10 years and i'm the kind pf person who loves keeping the gadgets mobiles laptops in a flawless condition. i came across this site and accidently ordered a fare grade mobile which was very rough and according to the website description. After one of receiving the order I came to know the site has option to select grades so I immediately returned the device. Then I reordered the same phone from same seller in excellent grade and seriously I'm amazed with conditioned it really give you a brand new phone vibe.
Cons:
customer support not responds timely.
no helpline no to call
very canned responses.
can improve packaging a bit
battery health are okay first phone was 83 and the next one i reordered was 84
pros
you can get a phone exactly according to your budeget
12 months warranty plus extended covers as well for 35£ very cheap
recommendation. dont go for fair grade you wont like that but they have very clear details about each single grade so atleast go good grade or excellent.
i got my excellent grad ...

Aye my refurbished iPhone 13 is grand. Phone came quickly and well wrapped. It’s a Fair model so it has bumps and paint scrapes but no dents or bashes. The battery goes up to 100% which I’m chuffed about. Refurbished phones are definitely the way forward. Has taken a bit of time going from a Samsung to Apple, no proper back button and the set up of picture scrolling and a few other things aren’t as good. Will probably go back to Samsung with my next phone but wanted to try Apple for once. Would highly recommend BackMarket, good little unit altogether.

Decided to try out a refurbished phone and have to say i'm really impressed. went for an iPhone 12 in "good" condition and it's in perfect condition. Battery percentage is at 85% but i don't mind that as i know it will still have an original apple battery

So, you've decided to buy an iPhone 14? There are now three key decisions you need to make. Firstly which model (14/14 Plus/14 Pro/14 Pro Max), secondly, which colour, and thirdly, which size storage capacity. In fact, the storage capacity may even dictate the model. And whilst we all know our favourite colour, deciding on how much storage you need requires a bit of careful thought. The price difference between storage capacities is not insignificant and you don't want to pay for storage that you simply don’t need. Having said that, the last thing you want is to find out you don’t have enough storage on your new or refurbished iPhone 14. Let’s have a closer look at the storage options and see what these differences actually mean for the user.

What is a refurbished phone?
A refurbished phone is any smartphone that has been restored to its original condition and performance. You might also hear it referred to as a renewed, reconditioned or restored phone, but these all mean that the phone has undergone a process of repair, cleaning, and testing such that it meets the same standards as a brand new device. If it's just a used or second hand phone, there is no guarantee that it will perform like-new and you accept whatever condition it is in.
A refurbished phone may be due to multiple reasons, but commonly it is because users have upgraded their handset with the newest smartphone, and opted to trade-in their old smartphone.
What to expect when buying a refurbished phone
First, understand that your device may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect phone performance and you can expect your device to perform as if it were just opened from the original box. You should also be confident that your phone purchase is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning 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.
Browse the wide range of refurbished android phones and iPhones on the Back Market website, and find offers starting from 20% to 50% off the normal retail price of the same phone if bought new.
Why buy a second hand and reconditioned phone from Back Market?
Refurbished mobile phones are still perfectly good, and all from Back Market are high quality, sim free, and overall cheaper than brand new up to 50%. Each seller on Back Market is subject to a strict quality vetting procedure to ensure their reconditioned phones are sold in fully working order, so there is no catch! but more importantly, you can help encourage others to save the environment by purchasing a refurbished mobile phone instead of a new one.
At Back Market we describe our grading system as the following:
Appearance: Excellent - the body will have micro-scratches, but invisible at a distance of 20cm, and the screen will have no scratches whatsoever.
Technical condition: Excellent - durability is the best, and chances of encountering a technical software issue are highly unlikely.
Appearance: Good - the body will have slight wear and tear and micro-scratches not visible from 20 inches instead. The screen will still have no scratches or any damage whatsoever.
Technical condition: Good - durability is above average, but chances of encountering a technical software issue still very small.
Appearance: Fair - the body will have visible scratches/dents, and the screen will have some scratches but become invisible when the screen is turned off.
Technical condition: Fair - durability is average, and technical issues still correspond to the quality levels required by our quality charter.
Better for your wallet and for the planet, a refurbished and cheap phone from Back Market is the perfect option for those who like to have the latest tech in the palm of their hand at a much more economical price.
