    I ordered an iPhone 12 to replace my old iPhone 7. After reading several reviews I went for a ‘good’. condition and I was not disappointed. It arrived within two days and looked brand new. Not a mark on it. So pleased my daughter has bought an identical iPhone 12 in a different colour and again, it looks brand new. Will definitely be ordering from Back Market in the future and I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a new mobile to buy reconditioned.

    Reconditioned iPhone 12/128GB - Black - Unlocked + protective case ordered as a Christmas present, therefore, not yet in use. However, the items arrived ahead of schedule and were expertly packed for shipment. The iPhone was In immaculate condition with handy aide memoir providing information about transferring data from old phone to new and included a USB-C charging cable. Thank you for a quality used product at a very competitive price. Although not yet in use and time will tell this product could easily pass for brand new.

    This was a Xmas present for my partner, her phone broke so she has had it early. I paid for an “excellent” refurbishment but as soon as the phone was started it flashed up that the battery wasn’t an Apple battery, also seems like a few times it’s been on a go slow for certain apps but then works perfectly again after 10 minutes. She is very ver the moon with the phone but I’m a little disheartened that these messages are popping up so she is unable to check the battery life given the price paid.

    Absolutely delighted. Don’t think I could tell the difference between refurbished and new. Transfer of data etc from my iPhone 7 was very easy and apart from facial recognition as opposed to finger print and later OS the two systems were very similar so very easy to get along with. Very pleased to note battery health was 100%. When the time comes to upgrade I’ll be straight back to Black Market!

    Very first iPhone & I love it. Couldn't afford a new one so thought a refurbished one might be the next best thing. Very impressed with the condition of the phone. The website and ordering was so easy to use and delivery was super speedy. Well done everyone at Back Market!

    I had opted for a refurbished iPhone in good condition so was expecting the phone to show signs of damage but was really pleased to find out that the phone was totally unmarked and in excellent condition, also the cost of the phone was really good value. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

    My first time purchasing a refurbished phone and I can honestly say that I am converted and will never buy a new phone again! Back Market sent me exactly what was described on their website and I am very happy with my phone!

    Very please the phone has been great no complaints and I would recommend buying from back market. I was apprehensive about a refurbished phone and I did go for the upper end of the reviews on your site. All I can say is thank you. I took a chance and I had nothing to worry about.

Embrace renewed excellence with a refurbished iPhone 12

 

At Back Market, customers can save big (up to 50% off) compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone 12. At Back Market we ensure quality is upheld through our minimum 25-point inspection that authenticates functionality, appearance, and security, conducted by industry professionals. Furthermore, we continually monitor our sellers through secret shopping, onsite visits to refurbishment centres, and of course, our customers’ reviews. Our one-of-a-kind Innovation Lab, are at the heart of these operations, and even develops new refurbishment processes that have become the industry standard.

 

Why buy refurbished instead of a second hand iPhone 12?

 

All refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. Whereas buying “used” or “secondhand” devices means you’re buying the device in the condition the previous owner left it in, without a guarantee of battery life or basic functionality. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPhone 12 compared to a refurbished one. Understand more about the difference in our detailed article here - What is the difference between refurbished and used electronics?

 

Why buy a refurbished iPhone 12 instead of a new one?

 

Refurbished tech is better for the planet than brand new at almost every turn, just read the study conducted by ADME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency). We've summarised it nicely in our article The environmental impact of refurbished tech but the bottom line is the vast majority of refurbished devices have significantly less of an impact on the environment. Staying true to our brand we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop for refurbished iPhone 12 deals instead of buying brand new, giving not only the planet a break, but also your wallet by saving up to 50% off!

 

How does Back Market categorise refurbished devices?

 

We categorise refurbished devices based on the product's cosmetic grades, to make sure you know exactly what you can expect when your device arrives. Watch our What does a Fair, Good, or Excellent refurbished phone look like? YouTube video for a clear breakdown with summarised information below.

 

  • Grade: Fair
    • Screen: May have micro-scratches which could be slightly noticeable when the screen is turned on.
    • Body: Has visible scratches and/or dents.
  • Grade: Good
    • Screen: Perfect condition
    • Body: May have micro-scratches visible from 20 inches away.
  • Grade: Excellent
    • Screen: Perfect condition
    • Body: May have barely visible micro-scratches, not noticeable from 8 inches away.

 

No matter the cosmetic grade, every device functions like new.

 

Is the iPhone 12 still worth it in 2024?

 

The Apple iPhone 12 is still worth buying in 2024 as it's not only considerably cheaper in comparison to the latest model now (even cheaper refurbished!), but also because of the standout features like it's camera capability, powerful processor, 5G connectivity, and also the fact that it will still receive iOS updates still until 2027.

 

What comes with my refurbished iPhone 12 purchase?

 

Every certified refurbished iPhone 12 sold on Back Market includes a charging cable. However, to reduce e-waste, AC adapters and headphones are NOT included. Your purchase also automatically comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you ever change your mind (hassle free!), and a minimum 1-year warranty for added protection. Also note that the charging cables are subject to the same warranty conditions too.
