Should I Still Buy an iPhone 13? - The Complete Buyer's Guide
Is the iPhone 13 still any good in 2024? Read our full review for all the features and specs you need to know before buying an iPhone 13.
When is the best time to buy an iPhone 14? You can look for Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals in 2024 or buy anytime on Back Market.
As one of the best-selling smartphones of all time and now only three generations old, the iPhone 13 is still a fan-favorite and many shoppers will be looking for discounts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The good news is, you can start saving now or any other time of the year when you shop for a refurbished iPhone 13 from trusted sellers like Back Market.
Now that Apple has released the iPhone 16 in 2024, prices expectedly dropped for earlier generations, including the iPhone 13 series. Apple no longer sells the iPhone 13 new on the Apple Store, but the most recent listed retail price was $599 (just $200 off the original release price in 2021).
Alternatively, if you're looking for the best Black Friday iPhone 13 deal this year, you don't need to wait for late November to save. You can already get the standard iPhone 13 starting at $341 or 43% off on Back Market compared to its most recent sale price on Apple. This deal is for an unlocked iPhone 13, so you don't even need to worry if your purchase will be compatible with your current phone plan. These Back Market prices will likely be lower than what we'd expect to see from popular retail stores and online sites on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Compared to popular retailers, Back Market discounts can save you up to 22% on the iPhone 13 this Black Friday, or more if you find deals that are already locked to your current phone carrier. All Back Market purchases also come with free standard shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty so you can be confident in your purchase today.
The discounts mentioned above are already available on Back Market, where you'll find the iPhone 13 between 15-20% off compared to other retailers. Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy are just a few of the popular options with iPhone 13 discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, but we don't expect you to see better deals than you will find currently on Back Market.
That said, if you are not in a rush and prefer to wait to compare the Black Friday deals, that's great. Back Market will still have low prices on the site if you need them.
Alternatively, you can let other shoppers spend hours perusing online retailer sites for discounts, while you shop comfortably for an iPhone 13 on Back Market that will perform the same as a brand-new version from 2021.
The iPhone 13 mini is a popular choice for users who prefer a compact smartphone. It packs all the same features and technology as the iPhone 13 into a fun-size device that tucks nicely into your pocket and is easier to use with one hand. Along with a smaller size, the 13 mini has a smaller price than the standard iPhone 13, so you can get even more bang for your buck with this device.
Unfortunately, you can no longer purchase the iPhone 13 mini directly on Apple's site. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with Black Friday deals on expertly refurbished iPhone 13 mini starting around the $300 price range.
The 13 Pro may look a lot like the standard version of the iPhone 13, with the same 6.1-inch screen size and OLED display, but it offers a few more advanced features including an upgraded triple rear camera.
Like the mini, the iPhone 13 Pro is also no longer available on Apple, so your best bet is shop from a trusted refurbished retailer. You can find iPhone 13 Pro holiday-like discounts on Back Market starting at $395.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max offers all the advanced features of the 13 Pro with a larger 6.7-inch display.
As with the Pro and mini models, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also unavailable for purchase from Apple. Instead, you can shop iPhone 13 Pro Max deals in the $440-650 range on Back Market during the Black Friday season (or any other day of the year).
Absolutely - the iPhone 13 is one of the best-selling iPhones for good reason and if you can save $100+ on a Black Friday deal, then you should be a happy shopper.
Also, there hasn't seemed to be a big jump in performance on recent iPhone models, so the iPhone 13 still holds up well in 2024. (spoiler alert: there’s actually not much of a difference between the iPhone 13 and 14).
At the end of the day, shoppers just want to save money on quality products this holiday season. Back Market is a place where you can do that and find iPhone 13 models starting around $300, which is at least half the price of buying the newest smartphone model.
Compared to other refurbished retailers, Back Market product quality is unmatched since we're a true refurbished marketplace that takes the time to screen all our sellers and make sure you're getting the best products from expert technicians.
If you want to make extra cash, consider selling some of your old devices on Back Market. This is a great way to keep costs low while shopping during the holiday season and helps save the environment. Take advantage of the Back Market Trade-in program and earn up to $700 from your old devices.
