    The iPhone XS is perfect. In “excellent” condition as stated on your website. The battery health is 100%. This is the second iPhone XS I’ve purchased from this site and both have been top notch. Thank you back market.

    The iPhone Xs is in perfect working and looking condition. The size is perfect for my non-functioning hands. The fingers don’t move but I can use my thumb on the touch screen albeit carefully! Thank You!

    I personally love BackMarket, the deals on phones and MacBooks are incredible and the quality of the products have been amazing for the price point. This is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for a phone, iPad, or MacBook. This iPhone XS is just a temporary phone for my girlfriend, but she absolutely loves it. For $150, that’s crazy impressive.

    Buying refurbished there’s only so much you’re allowed to complain about. I bought in good condition and there’s a minor minor scuff at the bottom that you couldn’t even bother to notice making this in my mind excellent condition. Only complaints are screen isn’t fully seated not genuine apple screen (duh) OLED screen would’ve been nice but like I said can’t complain so much other then that I’m happy with the phone. Will be back later for battery review.

    I recommend BackMarket to everyone looking to buy a used phone or even a used device they can't find elsewhere but want a reliable refurbishement. I've bought 3 iPhones all the same model and storage when I have somehow ruined my previous one and have been super happy with each one i have gotten. Even when I have chosen just a "Fair" condition, it has seemed to me to be mint. They do great refurbs and I feel like I'm helping keep these out of landfills by buying them here. Thanks guys for the best phone purchases I've ever made anywhere. Never a regret and always come away with a feel good purchase!! A+++

    Ordered the iPhone xs for my 2 teens! Phones came in looking almost pristine and in a timely manner, will give them as a Christmas gift as that is one of the only things they asked for. #MOMOFTHEDAY in their eyes. As always I'm pleased with my order and would recommend buying if you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on a gadget but know you're still getting good quality!

    The phone is good, but I see some scratches on the bottom and sides. I just pay for the excellent condition.. that is a downside.

    This was my first purchase on third party apps such as black market regarding apple products and I ordered an iPhone XS with excellent quality however the battery capacity was 84%. I wasn’t expecting a battery of 84% as listed as an excellent quality. Raises a question on other products especially that are marked as excellent condition.

    Overall, I’m very happy with my “new to me” XS iPhone, and service from Back Market. But there were two small problems. 1. Unknown to me at the time, the new phone had iOS 12 installed, and uncharged phone. So I charged phone and tried to transfer data from my old phone (iOS 16) by holding both phones end to end “Quick Start Transfer”. Would not work because of old IOS 12. So I had to use my “backup data”. Not a big deal, but if I had known about the old iOS, I should have done an update first, then data transfer. 2. There was not communication for the trade in. I had to request info about sending my old phone in. Back Market support helped me resolve the issue but a week later.

Benefits of buying a refurbished iPhone XS


At Back Market, customers can save big compared to the price of new on a certified refurbished iPhone XS. 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 XS compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a renewed iPhone XS is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPhone XS 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.

iPhone XS vs iPhone XR


Where to find a refurbished iPhone XS for cheap


If you're looking for cheaper iPhone XS options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPhone XS 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 XS 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 XS on our platform. 

 

iPhone XS warranty and return policy


All iPhone XS 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.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished iPhone XS


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your iPhone XS 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 XS 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 XS Trade In


If you already have an iPhone XS 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.
