Verified purchaseReally good trustworthy website. True to description of the device. I received my Apple IPhone 13 Pro 128GB in Gold. The condition of it perfect. New condition, not a single scratch on the phone. Battery health is really good 91% for the price I paid. Really worth buying refurbished phones on this website. I'm soo happy about my new Purchase. I would recommend to buy again in the Future. And I'll recommend to friends and family too. :)

Verified purchaseI'm always nervous about buying new tech. It's a big investment and the choices can be daunting to a non-geek. But my much more knowledgeable sons recommended Back Market and they were right. I'm typing this on a very elegantly refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch (2022) Midnight that looks like new. With son's help I've moved data from the old MacBook Air (2013). There's some tidying up to do as a few files are in the wrong place (and Apple have made Photos unnecessarily complicated). But the laptop is a pleasure to use and I'm enjoying the luxury of a battery that keeps charge The computer arrived quickly, well protected in an Apple box which was cleverly contained inside a scruffy old sports shoebox (so no-one ran off with it). Thank you Back Market.

Verified purchaseMy refurbished iPhone 13 mini is great. The only minor point to raise is that it clearly been refurbished with a non-Apple battery and I keep getting notifications telling me that the device can’t recognise the battery and that as a consequence the battery health reporting may be inaccurate. Not what I was expecting! Any hints on how to get the phone to verify the battery?

Verified purchaseVery happy with my refurbished Apple watch series 7. I ordered the exceptional version, and it works really well and is in great condition. It had one minor scratch on it on the stainless steel rim but its so small and hardly even noticeable. The battery life has come at 92% as well which i think is very good and reasonable for the price i paid and the age of the watch with it being 4 years old. Overall i highly recommend oredering from here for a perfectly good apple watch at a very affordaable price. Cant complain and very happy.

Verified purchaseMy Macbook Air 13-inch came quicker than expected and is in better condition than I expected. Apart from the lack of Apple packaging, there are no identifiers that this is a refurbished device. I am over the moon. Thanks Back Market for a brilliant service.

Verified purchaseAs I was expecting (hello! Black Market is the best :D) I'm incredibly happy with my MacBook Air A2337. It's exactly what I was hoping for and what I needed. I bought it "good" and, as my previous experience with my Samsung A34, unless you look closely and may see a tiny scratch or some minor sign of wear (for instance, the keyboard), I would think it's actually "excellent". I was so excited as, although I'm not a fan of Apple's elitism and arrogance in general, I'm a sucker for design and a Mac has no rival in terms of some quirks and little details that are just awesome (quite literally). And how lightweight, compact it is, there's nothing like it. It's exactly what I needed: a device that it's practical to take to the library or to a cafe and that I don't have to plug in all the time (like my other laptop) and great to take on my trips! The size of the screen is also just perfect. The crispiness make the reduced size (compare to my main laptop) unnoticeable. Also, the TOUCHPAD! OMG I've never experience anything like it. I absolutely HATE using touchpads but this one is just incredible. I'm in no rush at all to get a mouse. The battery lasts for many hours, especially for academ...

Verified purchaseI first learned about the back market on TikTok I was a bit skeptical, but I downloaded the app and I read so many reviews and I said I’ll give it a try. It was very easy to order. I receive my order in 2 working days. I received my order in a box with Manuel a charger. Also the key I ordered the iPhone 14, 128 GB color purple I could not believe my eyes. It did not look refurbished. It look like a brand new iPhone not a scratch came with 100% battery I charge my battery every two days. I am very pleased very happy with my iPhone 14 from the back market thank you back market. I will recommend friends and family, and I will also be using back market in the future for my phones once again back market, thank you

Verified purchaseEasy to order. Very quick delivery, arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it. Item was a refurbished Macbook Air. Arrived in excellent condition and was very well packaged. Mac looks practically new. Set it up as soon as it arrived. Needed it for uni degree - Logic Pro is only compatible with certain versions Macbook. This is my third purchase as last two were not compatible (nothing to do with Back Market). Very happy I finally got the correct version. No problems whatsoever. Would definitely buy from Back Market again.

At Back Market, customers save big compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Apple products. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Apple device compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned Apple product is also a better environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Apple product is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet the Apple's manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Apple devices out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimize your carbon footprint.
Is the Apple iPhone 14 Worth It?
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Apple 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 the performance of your Apple device and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store.
You should also be confident that your Apple product 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.
All Apple 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 Apple product for your needs at lower prices.
Whether you want to buy Apple products such as the latest iPhone, MacBook, iMac or Apple Watch, you'll find the best deals at Back Market. Our refurbished Apple products are all thoroughly tested to ensure they work as well as any brand new product would.

But what distinguishes these refurbished Apple products from the ones sold directly by the American giant is, above all, the price. With refurbished Apple products from Back Market, you can expect to pay up to 50% less dramatic savings that can make a big difference to your household budgeting.
