5/5I’m very happy with my new refurbished iPhone 16e, as far as I’m concerned it’s as good as brand new. I thought it might be too big for my practical needs, having moved up from a 13 Mini, but the size difference is ok.

4.9/5Got the iPhone 16e for my husband, it looked like it was brand new. Nothing wrong with his other iPhone, he just wanted to upgrade. I would definitely recommend buying a refurbished phone from back market.

5/5Loving my refurbished iPhone 16e in black with 256GB. I upgraded from the iPhone 13 mostly due to a lack of storage space. I needed a phone with a higher amount of storage that was also at least a few generations newer to make the upgrade more worthwhile. I found this iPhone 16e at a nice price made even cheaper with trade-in (which was super easy and simple). The phone arrived promptly and looked very nice. I bought ‘fair’ condition but it came looking like ‘excellent’ condition. It was also fitted with a brand-new battery during refurbishment even though I didn’t select the option for a brand-new battery. I’ve heard people say before that the average refurbisher will generally use the cheapest sourced parts to gain maximum profit from the sale; but so far my iPhone 16e works perfectly and looks amazing which is all I could really ask for. Why care so much about the replacement parts that make up the refurbished device when it works exactly as it should and looks pristine? Ah yes, the device also came with a decent screen protector already installed and there was a handy USB-C to USB-C cable included in the box. Overall, I must say, I am very impressed and I would genuinely consider buying from Back Market again in the future as well as recommending them to others.

5/5Honestly had some trepidation ordering this, but it was all assuaged when the phone arrived. It was in excellent condition and not a mark on it. Also, the battery was 100%. The price was over £100 cheaper than other options; I think that's because it was an eSIM-only version. No issue for my MiL (who the phone was for). Setting up and adding an eSIM was painless. Would 100% recommend and use again.

5/5Bought this to replace a device that’s going out of support. Arrived quickly and safely and condition is as described. A screen protector was already fitted, so just had to pop it in a case and all set. Have bought a few iPhones from BackMarket now and had a good experience every time. It’s best to keep electronics running for as long as possible and buying refurbished makes them affordable too.

iPhone 16e questions, answered
The iPhone 16e is worth buying for anyone who wants flagship-grade performance at a significantly lower price. It runs on the A18 chip (same generation as the iPhone 16), supports Apple Intelligence, delivers up to 26 hours of video playback and packs a 48MP camera with 2x optical-quality zoom. Refurbished from £375 versus £899 new, that's a saving of up to £219. Trade-offs: no ultrawide lens, no separate telephoto lens, no Dynamic Island and no MagSafe. Still deciding? See which iPhone is best suited for you.
Yes. The iPhone 16e fully supports Apple Intelligence via its A18 chip on iOS 18.3 or later. Features include Writing Tools, Clean Up in Photos, Priority Notifications and an enhanced Siri with on-screen context awareness. It's the most affordable iPhone with complete Apple Intelligence support, and most processing runs on-device for privacy.
The iPhone 16e delivers the best battery life ever in a 6.1-inch iPhone: up to 26 hours of video playback, 21 hours of streaming video and 90 hours of audio. A lot of that comes down to the Apple C1 modem, Apple's first custom-designed cellular chip and the most power-efficient ever on an iPhone. The battery is also approximately 12% larger than the iPhone 16's. Battery condition is always disclosed at checkout on Back Market.
The UK iPhone 16e is not eSIM-only (unlike the US model). Two configurations are available on Back Market UK, both sold unlocked and SIM-free:
eSIM only (2 virtual SIM slots, no physical tray) from £359
Physical SIM + eSIM (1 physical slot plus 1 virtual SIM slot) from £396
Compatible with EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and Sky Mobile. No Dual Physical SIM option is available in the UK.
The iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 share the same generation A18 chip, so core performance and Apple Intelligence support are identical. The differences come down to camera system, extras and charging:
