I’m very pleased with my iPhone SE 2016. It does ‘wallet’ which is the main thing for me. Saves me carrying a bulky phone about and I’m really pleased with it. Super clean and lovely condition. Thank you

"Bought this as a fair condition phone so I wasn't expecting perfection — but honestly it's better than I thought it would be. Yes, there are some light scratches on the body but the screen is fine and everything works as it should. Does exactly what I need it to do.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I needed a phone quickly and this one arrived in well under 24 hours of ordering. Couldn’t have expected better. Also the inclusion of a charging plug and cable was a welcome surprise. The home is as good as an old de iPhone can be and the battery life is good plus the casing is in good condition

Does the job! Got it for cheap, few scratches here and there but nothing major. Works fine, arrived quickly. Can't complain for the price tbh

Needed a replacement phone fir my 11 year old grandson when he dropped his and broke the screen. Found this for a decent price and even better a years Warranty. Fast delivery and grandson happy with it. First of all said it's really slow, once he updated it sent me a message saying "wow this us amazing and really fast". He said everyone at school (secondary) laughs at it, they all gave the latest iphones. Lucky them if their parents can afford that. Grandson has been told if he looks after this one and doesn't break it maybe he can have a larger phone for his birthday. Would definitely come back to Back Market to purchase another refurbished phone instead of new.

Great service from Backmarket, speedy and well priced reconditioned 'top notch' iPhone SE 32GB for a fraction of the cost of a new model. Does what I want it to do and is indistinguishable from an 'out of the box' model as far as I can tell.
