THE GOOD This phone was sold as ‘good’ condition but in reality, it arrived in a ‘like new’ condition., complete with screen protector and a temporary case, sufficient to get me going. Refurbished Apple has always been the way forward for me so I’ll give Back Market another shout when the time comes. THE BAD Nothing wrong with Back Market, just Apple's insistence to force people further into holding a house brick in their hand. One day they will reinvent the wheel and relaunch a modern version of their old 4in screen models - which can't come fast enough for me.

Similar phone (B grade - good) from CEX cost £320 but had 79% battery health. Local shop replaces battery for £50, Apple for £85. I asked for a partial refund or a replacement battery for a “refurbished” phone. This was denied so I returned it. At £270 this was a much better deal for us with 88% battery health which may survive for 6-12 months before battery health drops below 80%. Packaging was superior to CEX.

Really pleased with this refurbished handset. Delivered within 24 hours & exactly as described. Would absolutely recommend. After using another company several times, the last couple of phones I ordered weren’t great so it was time for a change. Back Market was better value & didn’t disappoint re quality.

The phone arrived in immaculate condition, with 99% battery health, no Face ID or non-original parts issues and clean IMEI. The refurbishing company also made a nice surprise of putting on a glass screen protector and throwing in a basic case. Good job!

My iPhone 13 Mini arrived very quickly with a C cable and was well packaged. There were some small scratches on the corners but these are hidden by the wallet case. The battery might have been a bit better but holds the charge very well. I haven’t yet taken enough photos to see the difference in the camera from my previous iPhone SE. Personally, I like a smaller phone which will easily fit into a small handbag or my pocket so the iPhone 13 Mini fits the bill. I prefer the green opto buy reconditioned phones and pay outright.

iPhone 13 mini is a great little phone and was in the very good condition as stated and good value. Unfortunately, the process for getting an invoice hasn’t worked so I’d recommend asking for one to be emailed at time of purchase as most sellers provide. I would like one please.
