5/5Back Market Turned a “Refurbished” iPhone 12 Into My Daily Driver—And I’m Genuinely Blown Away I’ll be honest: when people hear “refurbished,” they usually expect compromises. Scuffs. Battery anxiety. That one annoying flaw you can’t unsee. This iPhone 12 from Back Market completely shattered that stereotype. I ordered a Product (RED) iPhone 12, 128GB, and what arrived felt less like a secondhand phone and more like Apple quietly sent me a brand-new unit on the side. Condition: The phone arrived in exceptional condition. The glass is clean, the frame is flawless, and if you told me this device had never been used before, I’d believe you without hesitation. No scratches, no dents, no “refurbished tells.” It looks premium because it is premium. Performance: This is where the iPhone 12 still flexes hard. The A14 Bionic chip is absurdly smooth—apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and everything from social media to photo editing runs without a hiccup. This phone doesn’t feel like it’s “keeping up.” It feels like it’s leading. Display & Design: The OLED display is gorgeous. Deep blacks, vibrant colors, and razor-sharp clarity that makes content pop. The flat-edge design still looks modern and feels solid in the hand. And the Product (RED) finish? Stunning. It’s bold, clean, and turns heads without trying. Battery & Reliability: Battery life has been excellent for daily use—calls, streaming, browsing, and content creation. This is the kind of phone you trust to get you through the day without babysitting a charger. The Back Market Experience: This is where the real magic happens. Back Market didn’t just sell me a phone—they delivered confidence. Clear grading, fast shipping, eco-friendly impact, and a device that exceeded expectations in every way. It’s rare to feel like you got more than you paid for, but that’s exactly what happened here. Final Thoughts: If you’re on the fence about refurbished tech, let this be the review that pushes you over. This iPhone 12 proves that smart buying doesn’t mean settling—it means winning. Back Market has officially earned my trust, and this phone has earned its place as my go-to device. This isn’t just a good deal. It’s proof that premium tech, sustainability, and performance can coexist—and absolutely thrive. Highly recommended. No hesitation. No regrets.

5/5Really pleased with my order. The phone was in fantastic condition, barely any signs of use! I purchased 'good ' condition but the phone could pass as new. Been using it now for nearly a week and no problems at all. It's functioning brilliantly! I would highly recommend getting a phone from BackMarket!

iPhone 12 questions, answered
Yes, the iPhone 12 is still worth buying. The A14 Bionic chip handles everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking comfortably, and the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display delivers premium screen quality for the price. All iPhone 12 models support 5G and are confirmed on Apple's iOS 26 compatibility list, ensuring continued software updates and security patches. With Ceramic Shield, Face ID, and MagSafe support built in, the range is available refurbished from £156, well below the £649 new RRP.
All four iPhone 12 models (iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max) support 5G. The iPhone 12 series was Apple's first 5G-compatible iPhone range, launched in 2020, and works across UK 5G networks. It also supports dual SIM via a physical SIM and eSIM, enabling faster downloads, lower latency, and improved network performance wherever 5G coverage is available.
MagSafe is a ring of built-in magnets embedded in all four iPhone 12 models, allowing compatible accessories to snap precisely onto the back of the phone. MagSafe wireless charging delivers up to 15W, nearly double the speed of standard Qi wireless charging (7.5W). It also works with standard Qi chargers. The MagSafe ecosystem includes cases, wallets, stands, and battery packs that attach instantly and securely.

If budget is your main consideration, a refurbished iPhone 11 is also available on Back Market.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro share the same A14 Bionic chip, 5G support, MagSafe, OLED display, Ceramic Shield, and Face ID, so everyday performance is identical. The iPhone 12 Pro is worth considering if photography matters to you. It adds:
2x optical zoom telephoto lens (4x total range)
LiDAR Scanner for better Night Mode portraits and augmented reality
Apple ProRAW photo format support
Stainless steel frame (vs aluminium on the iPhone 12)
Brighter display: 800 nits typical vs 625 nits
on the iPhone 12
For everyday tasks, the standard iPhone 12 delivers equivalent performance at a lower price.
Every refurbished iPhone 12 on Back Market undergoes battery health testing as part of the up-to-100-point professional inspection across 21 categories. At checkout, you can choose between a standard battery ("Good for average daily use") or a new battery ("Best for heavy daily use"), ideal for power users or anyone who wants maximum longevity. Either way, you're guaranteed a functional battery — you won't receive a depleted or failing one.
All four iPhone 12 condition grades are 100% functional. Cosmetic appearance is the only difference between them:
Fair: Visible signs of use on body and screen; verified parts; battery suitable for daily use
Good: Light signs of use; all parts verified and functional
Excellent: Minimal cosmetic marks; near-new appearance
Premium: Best cosmetic condition available, closest to new appearance
Use the Compare conditions tool on the product page to see them side by side.
