I purchased a iPhone 8 and was very pleased with the product as looked as if it was New. The reason bought was a gift for my mum as her iPhone was experiencing battery problems. I would recommend this company to buy refurbished products

Bought this for partner as his was on its way out. To be honest I was a bit sceptical about refurbished having bought something before from another site and it been a complete waste. I have to say this is not the case with this phone it come in excellent condition and as close to brand new condition on the outside as you can get. Everything on the inside works perfect and i am over the moon with my purchase the other half is happier than I am. I’d definitely use this site again for anything really given that the phone is fantastic. Great service arrived well ahead of time and well packed. After sales care has been fab too. 100% happy customer and look forward to dealing with you again in the very near future thank you

Reviewed in United Kingdom on 7 November 2023

I've bought an excellent condition iPhone 8 last week, and I've been consistently impressed with its performance and overall user experience. The iPhone 8 still feels like a modern smartphone despite it being 6ish years old. However, there is one minor issue that I've noticed with the iPhone 8: the battery life. While it's not terrible, it does drain a bit quicker than I would like. This is especially noticeable if I'm using the phone heavily for video streaming, calls and general browsing of social media. I usually have to charge it constantly, which can be a bit inconvenient, but that is to be expected with battery health of 87% Despite this one drawback, I still highly recommend the iPhone 8 to anyone looking for a great all-around smartphone. It's a fantastic value for the price. Just be aware that you may need to charge it more frequently than you're used to.

Is the iPhone 8 still worth buying in 2023?

 

Although it has been a few years since its initial release in 2017, the iPhone 8 is still a great choice in 2022, especially for those who are seeking a deal that is great value for money.

Equipped with a 12 MP rear camera that is still standard amongst the latest smartphone models today, you can capture moments in fantastic quality that will help you cherish moments clearly. Furthermore, shoot 4K videos with Time-lapse, Slow-mo, and cinematic features with optical image stabilisation support. Store as many memories as possible with storage capacity up to 256GB available.

Powered by an A11 Bionic Chip and neural engine, you no longer need to fret about any rendering delays, as the impressive processor will manage all your daily needs without an issue.

The last of its kind with fingerprint ID authentication, grab this unique iPhone that is hard to find anywhere else, only by shopping on Back Market. Pick your favourite colour out of the iPhone 8 colourway with either Gold, Silver or Space Grey available.

 

Benefits of buying a refurbished iPhone 8

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished iPhone 8 models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPhone 8 compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned iPhone 8 is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone 8 is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old iPhone 8s out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

Where to find a cheap refurbished iPhone 8?


If you're looking for cheaper iPhone 8 options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPhone 8 models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed iPhone 8 in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

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 iPhone 8 deals on our platform.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished iPhone 8?


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your iPhone 8 may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your iPhone 8 and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your iPhone 8 is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

 

iPhone 8 warranty and return policy with Back Market


All iPhone 8 purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPhone 8 for your needs at lower prices.

 

How do the Back Market refurbished gradings work?

 

We have a transparent grading system that considers both the physical appearance and technical condition of any given device. Do note that all devices sold are guaranteed to be 100% functional and technical condition refers to the durability you can expect from a product given its refurbisher's operations and historical quality data. We have three-well defined conditions based on your needs:

Fair

May have micro scratches that are hardly noticeable when the screen is turned on. Body may have some visible scratches. Technically, the internals should still correspond with the levels required in our quality charter.

Good

There will be light signs of wear on the body but invisible at a distance of 20 inches (arms length). The screen however will have no scratches. Durability scores are above average, and chances of encountering any technical issues are small.

Excellent

The body will have very light micro scratches which are invisible at a distance of 20cm (pencil length), and the screen will have no scratches. Technical conditions will have high durability scores and the chances of encountering a technical issue are very small.

 

Is it worth buying a refurbished iPhone 8?

 

A refurbished iPhone 8 still offers all of the perks that a brand new iPhone 8 would have, but at a much cheaper price! If deciding between a used or second hand iPhone 8 against a refurbished iPhone 8, refurbished iPhones guarantee quality and condition remain intact to last for several more years as if it was functioning like a brand new iPhone.
