My experience with Back Market has been pretty good. They delivered my products in a timely manor with minimal issues. The only thing that bothered me was that I ordred a phone & case together & they were delivered on different days. A little annoying but not a major issue. The phone itself looked great. Unfotunately, it seems to have an issue getting loud enough in the non-speaker mode. Even in settings it's not possible to increase the volumn to an acceptable range w/o going to speaker. Note I must make is the phone is a refurbished phone. Soooo??? The only accessory, was the case which I really like. However, I made the mistake of assuming it came with a screen shield & it did not. Personally, I think this is shortsided on the production side. If your buying a "protective case" wouldn't there be something to protect the screen??? To be fair, it was short sided on me because nowhere in the product description did it show there was a screen protecter. All in all, the XR is a great phone for the money & Back Market did a good job providing it.

I bought an iPhone XR 128 GB on good condition the phone is good everything is working perfectly the only problem is the battery, I only used it for few days from the day of purchase but the battery health went from 96% to 78% within just a space of 4 days I didn’t even use it that much so I don’t understand I have to buy a new battery by myself on top of the amount that I spent on this phone

I bought this iPhone XR just so I could have a way to FaceTime with my family and friends, and it works PERFECTLY for my needs. I didn't need the latest and greatest, and certainly didn't want to pay for it. Back Market helped me accomplish that AND leave a positive impact by helping to recycle old tech. There are a few nicks on the body, but nothing a case can't cover. The screen works and the audio is great. The only thing I wish I could've gotten was a phone with a slightly better battery health (mine is 86%). This is really only a secondary phone, so that's not even too big of a deal. I could've also just paid for a phone in even better condition, but again, this works perfect for my needs. I was so pleased with Back Market, I decided to order an iPad for my partner! Great experience and service all around.

I am very happy with this phone. And bc I feel like I got a great deal for opting for the refurbished option it makes me feel even better about it. Like I am so smart and why would I ever buy a brand new device when a company exists like back market. There is no risk bc you guys have the customer service side of things executed perfectly so I feel like the risk with buying refurbished is completely non existent. I know if anything is wrong with my item you will fix it promptly and politely. Can’t go wrong! Thanks

Couldn't open the sim slot, so couldn't use the phone. Seems like it coulda been checked ahead of time. Took me 3 tries to get a working phone which was really frustrating, but Black Market was super fast and super responsive, so I stuck with them!

Fast shipping, came with charger which was great! iphone works perfectly, I chose “excellent” condition and that’s exactly how the phone came! Battery health is at 88%, battery is great.

At Back Market, customers can save big compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone XR. 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 pre-owned iPhone XR compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a renewed iPhone XR is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone XR is often a second-hand device that has been restored and updated to meet Apple's manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Apple iPhones out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimize your carbon footprint.
If you're looking for cheaper iPhone XR options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPhone XR models at Back Market. That's because we specialize 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 XR phones in price ranges to fit almost anyone's smartphone 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 for iPhone XR on our platform.
All iPhone XR 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 for your needs at lower prices.
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your iPhone XR 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 and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store.
You should also be confident that your iPhone XR 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.
If you already have an iPhone XR that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra budget for your next smartphone upgrade. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current iPhone.
