At Back Market, customers can save big (up to 50% off) compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone 13 mini. At Back Market we ensure quality is upheld through our minimum 25-point inspection that authenticates functionality, appearance, and security, conducted by industry professionals. Furthermore, we continually monitor our sellers through secret shopping, onsite visits to refurbishment centres, and of course, our customers’ reviews. Our one-of-a-kind Innovation Lab, are at the heart of these operations, and even develops new refurbishment processes that have become the industry standard.
All refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. Whereas buying “used” or “secondhand” devices means you’re buying the device in the condition the previous owner left it in, without a guarantee of battery life or basic functionality. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPhone 13 mini compared to a refurbished one. Understand more about the difference in our detailed article here - What is the difference between refurbished and used electronics?
Refurbished tech is better for the planet than brand new at almost every turn, just read the study conducted by ADME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency). We've summarised it nicely in our article The environmental impact of refurbished tech but the bottom line is the vast majority of refurbished devices have significantly less of an impact on the environment. Staying true to our brand we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop for refurbished iPhone 13 mini deals instead of buying brand new, giving not only the planet a break, but also your wallet by saving up to 50% off!
We categorise refurbished devices based on the product's cosmetic grades, to make sure you know exactly what you can expect when your device arrives. Watch our What does a Fair, Good, or Excellent refurbished phone look like? YouTube video for a clear breakdown with summarised information below.
No matter the cosmetic grade, every device functions like new.
The Apple iPhone 13 mini is still worth buying in 2024 as it's not only considerably cheaper in comparison to the latest model now (even cheaper refurbished!), but the iPhone 13 mini comes in a 5.4-inch body with an OLED Super Retina display. Thanks to the OLED technique, it lights up with brilliant colours and provides high contrast. The A15 Bionic chip ensures smooth everyday use. The processor operates at a frequency of up to 3,240 MHz - and is therefore not only equipped for the technical requirements of the years 2021 and 2022, but for many years to come. Although the chip is only slightly better than the A14 Bionic in the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 mini is still faster.
Every certified refurbished iPhone 13 mini sold on Back Market includes a charging cable. However, to reduce e-waste, AC adapters and headphones are NOT included. Your purchase also automatically comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you ever change your mind (hassle free!), and a minimum 1-year warranty for added protection. Also note that the charging cables are subject to the same warranty conditions too.
