Overall happy with the value of my iphone 13 pro purchase. I’m always about saving money. Upgraded from my iphone 11 because it started acting up (i believe due to Apple’s programmed demises of older models). I selected the “excellent” quality of this refurbished phone and I will say i was surprised at how scratched up the perimeter (sides, top, and bottom) of the phone was. Thankfully the screen and back panel of the phone were essentially blemish-free, which i cared about more. I just put a clear case on the phone so you cant see the scratched perimeter so it’s all good. Getting a “discount” in the form of trading in my previous iphone 11 is also pleasant. Would def recommend Back Market.

This new (refurbished) Iphone 13 Pro is great. Size is very compatible with my needs (especially pockets, cameras and microphone and speaker are very good quality. Transferring all my stuff from old IPhone 11 to this was so easy. Thanks to Back Market for all their help making this possible.

In the past I always bought new phones because I didn’t have real trust in refurbished phones. But as my son had a great experience with Backmarket, I thought I should go with them this time. I bought a phone advertised as being in “very good condition” and I have to say I‘ve been totally happy with everything so far: their service, shipping, and the phone! The reason why I don’t want to give a five star rating is, that I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t come with a new battery, though. The battery is still good at over 80%, but at a price of $600 for an iPhone 13 Pro, I definitely had hopped it would come with a new battery! But apart from that I really can recommend Backmarket and their products.

I ordered a iPhone 13 Pro in excellent condition. I was very pleased when I received the phone as it looked like a new phone with no visible indications of use except some very small marks around the outside of the screen which I was not concerned about due to that are being covered by the case. It also had 89% battery life which was great to see on a refurbished phone. The shipping from the provider was very fast and it came packaged very securely to prevent damage. I had set up the phone installed the case and was attempting to install the glass screen protector. After two attempts with different screen protectors I determined that the screen was not fully flat, middle higher than the edges, but not visible to naked eye. The screen protector would not adhere properly due to this. I was very disappointed because up to that point I was loving the phone and experience with the refurbished product. I decided to return the phone and I have nothing but praise for how Back Market handled the return process. Very well managed, lots of timely communication, and no hassle with the return for a full refund. Although I wish the first phone would have worked for me, the overall experien...

Only minor scuffs on the sides which is nothing, right!??! This was the lowest prices comparing it to other platforms like Plug or even eBay.

This is my second phone purchase from BackMarket. (I plan to get a computer from them soon as well). My last purchase was an iphone 8 64 gigs, in 2021. I've significantly updgraded to an Iphone 13 Pro with a lot more storage! Lack of storage was the reason I really needed to get a new phone... 64 was never going to cut it for me, I should have gotten at least 128 then. (Lesson learned). But, I will say that it is such a treat to have a high functioning camera (I've never had one!) It's so cool to have (if you actually use the features). Anyway, in terms of this purchase, I am super happy once again. I chose the "good" option with standard battery. Battery arrived with 94% capacity which I'm very happy about. The body is just fine with a small scratch, which I never care about because I put an otterbox case on all of my phones. I just want a working phone with a perfect screen and I always get that from BackMarket. I love this refurbished website more than the other ones I've looked at. BM is the only one I've actually used and when I looked at some other sites recently I understood why I keep choosing Back Market... their warranty and website are top notch. Super happy!

I decided to purchase a iPhone 13 Pro from this seller because their asking price was competitive among the sea of iPhone refurbishers on BackMarket. This is the third iPhone I've purchased off BM and thankfully, it's the only one I won't have to request a return for. The iPhone was shipped quickly and arrived within a few days. I purchased the phone in 'Good' condition and although it doesn't quite meet BM's description for 'Good', I can understand why the vendor labelled the phone as such. The back and sides of the iPhone (including the camera lenses) are flawless: no perceptible scratches, dings, or discoloration. The screen has a few scratches, two of them particularly noticeable but it doesn't affect the touchscreen's responsiveness and they're only visible when the screen is off. 'Good' is a fair label in my book. As for the software, it's snappy and apps are quick to load; a significant improvement over my aging Samsung. The battery life is at 88 percent, which is more than what I started with on my old Samsung Galaxy (that I purchased in 'Excellent' condition) and more than enough for my needs. iPhone 13s have an internal setting that limits charging in order to prolong b...

Purchased 2 phones (good condition) for my wife and I. Both phones were in advertised condition. My phone had the screen replaced during refurbishing, and the notification from iOS software was super annoying, but it did go away after a week or two as noted on the back market web site. Battery life seems to be getting better. It felt like the aftermarket screen replacement notification was draining the battery, but now I go 24 to 48 hours between charges. Overall it is a great phone for the price. I cannot image paying full price for a new phone again.

At Back Market, customers save big compared to the price of new on certified refurbished iPhone 13 Pro 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 pre-owned iPhone 13 Pro compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a renewed iPhone 13 Pro is also a better environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone 13 Pro is often a second-hand device that has been restored and updated to meet the 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 to score the best iPhone 13 Pro deal and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPhone 13 Pro 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 plenty of refurbed iPhone 13 Pro phones to choose from in price ranges to fit your 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 a more affordable iPhone 13 Pro on our platform.
All iPhone 13 Pro 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 13 Pro 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 13 Pro 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 13 Pro that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra room in your budget. 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.
