Very happy I went for excellent condition. And it is like new. 🥰Today
We’ve emptied our piggy bank and traded in the obligatory arm and a leg. All so we could get our remaining hand on the latest iPhone 12 and see how it stacks up against our refurbished iPhone 8, X and 11. So, let’s take an objective look at whether the iPhone 12 is – at present – worthy of its number and price tag.

Apple's main innovation with the iPhone 12 is its 5G compatibility. The other specs have improved on the technology found in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. Its new A14 Bionic chip is one of the best on the market, making the iPhone 12 a fast performer whatever you're using it for. There’s no app or game it can’t cope with.
Its Super Retina XDR screen provides an extraordinary resolution and has a P3 colour gamut with a much wider range than the sRGB. Its 12-megapixel dual-sensor camera takes crisp, clear shots in any environment. Video-wise, the 4K, slow motion or time-lapse options are all worthy of an Oscar... Plus you get to watch them on an impressive 6.1-inch OLED 2532 x 1170 pixel screen. In a nutshell: a smartphone where Apple has once again surpassed itself.
It comes with three storage capacities: 64GB, 128GB and 256GB, and its large capacity battery makes it one of the most significant autonomy leaps found in iPhones to date. So, if you're after a top-notch refurbished iPhone, look no further.
Looking for the best iPhone, but need to watch the pennies? Then shop for an inexpensive iPhone 12 at Back Market: prices vary daily, so keep your eyes peeled. Not sure about buying this model? All products on our site are sold with a minimum one-year warranty and benefit from a 30-day returns period so you can decide if it's the phone for you.
Although it costs less, your refurbished iPhone 12 will perform just as well as the day it left the factory. Our technician partners are responsible for thoroughly inspecting each device, focusing on 25 essential inspection points: the screen, the SIM card reader, the cameras, etc. Not forgetting the battery, which always comes with 85% + capacity.
New iPhones are released every autumn, and there are now so many it’s easy to lose track. But it's useful if Back Market customers stay up to date, as all versions are available on our website.
Despite its number, the iPhone 12 is actually a 15th generation iPhone. It follows the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2 (both 14th generation). And as usual with Apple smartphones, there were multiple releases: four different versions are available, this one being the standard version, the 12 Mini the small one, and the 12 Pro and Pro Max the more advanced models.
The iPhone 12 looks more like the iPhone 12 Mini than the two iPhone 12 Pros. The standard and mini version share the same hardware, and the only functional difference is the screen size: 6.1 inches vs 5.4 inches for the Mini.
On the other hand, the two 12 Pros win in terms of performance and features, but also cost and weigh more. These two larger versions have a telephoto lens on their rear camera, which increases the phone's optical zoom range. They also have greater internal storage capacity, longer battery life, and more sophisticated photo and video recording capabilities. And in the case of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, you'll get a much larger size (6.7 inches). With this in mind, the iPhone 12 can be seen as a compromise between the Mini and the Pro, but it still ranks well above other iPhones and high-end smartphone brands.
Buying new will cost you a fair whack while buying second-hand does not give you any guarantees. So here's the solution! Any refurbished model sold on our website can be considered a cheap iPhone 12 but offers the same peace of mind as buying new, namely a one-year warranty and 30-day returns period. Plus, you'll be protecting the planet from damaging electronic waste - no iPhone deserves to be dumped in a landfill site!
