Great except right at the start when charging it was giving off electrical impulses that could be felt on skin. All good now, great battery life, easy to transfer all info over. Really pleased

I recently bought an iPhone XS from Back Market, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The phone arrived on time, well packaged, and in excellent condition just as described. It looks almost brand new, with barely any signs of use, and works flawlessly. I was initially unsure about buying refurbished, but Back Market has exceeded my expectations. The quality and price make it a win all around. I’ll definitely purchase from them again.

As a lot of other reviews say, I was also a little sceptical of using a refurbished phone site having always bought my phones new. However I thought I take a chance and I am super impressed. I wanted an older and cheaper iPhone and the XS fitted the bill. And for the price of £140 it was a bargain. It hasn’t got a mark on it at all. And also, the battery, which I was prepared to perhaps replace, had a 97% health which was amazing. It came within two days as well. A nice little touch was it came with charging lead, screen protector and basic case at no extra cost that they didn’t even mention! I’ve only just recently bought a new iPhone 16 but I really wished I’d saved the money and got a refurbished one theough here and saved myself a bunch! Fantastic service all round. I’ll definitely be using again.

Ordered as a replacement phone as my son broke his, chose the fair option as wanted to pay for a new battery, condition was excellent, not a mark on the phone, arrived quickly, and would definitely use again

Good service. Arrived promptly. Ordered two the same, both identical. Traded in old phone. Thought it might be worth more as in excellent condition but some return better than it sitting in a drawer so pleased it’s been reused.
