Buying an impeccable device refurbished is possible: proof from the iPhone 13

Leader in reconditioned goods, Back Market has set itself the mission of “democratizing access to more responsible technology”. The company simply wants to make reconditioned a reflex, but for it to become so, it is still important to remove all fears, particularly regarding the quality of the reconditioning and its condition.

This is why the marketplace is offering a new grade on certain very popular products and brands: the “premium” grade. This is the highest level of reconditioning quality available across the entire reconditioned market. Back Market is the only one to go this far.

Both Android smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy, and obviously iPhones, are affected by this exceptional requirement. It allows you to afford the stars of the reconditioned market for a price significantly lower than new, while maintaining an immaculate chassis and screen.

Premium: the refurbished one that doesn't seem to be

By choosing the grade premium chez Back Market you have three main certainties. First on the exterior appearance, the products show no signs of wear and the screen is absolutely impeccable. Simply put, visually, you will have the impression that the device has just come from the manufacturer, it shows no signs of prior use.

Inside, Back Market is committed to ensuring that the product is offered with 100% original parts. They all come from the parent company. Finally, for the battery, the latter has at least 90% of its original capacity, which guarantees optimal performance and longevity. This is a determining element insofar as the latter is the main wearing part of a smartphone and often the one which arouses the most fear.

Obviously, and like all other products offered on the marketplace, they are also subject to 25 checkpoints to ensure that your new smartphone complies with the quality standards required by Back Market. You can thus treat yourself to a star smartphone, without paying the sums requested when they are in new condition.

iPhone 13 Refurbished Premium: the good deal of the moment

Proof by example withiPhone 13 currently offered in premium grade on the platform. The former star smartphone, which celebrated its third candle in September, has not lost much of its splendor compared to its launch and other Apple terminals, especially since the 2024 vintage is quite poor in new features.

The iPhone 13 is still perfectly capable in terms of photography, its screen 6.1 inches (14.5 cm) always offers colors with an accuracy that is difficult to fault and its performance is there. No application and no game can resist it. Certainly you will not have the “Dynamic Island” of the iPhone 15 and the dedicated trigger for the camera of the iPhone 16, but these are elements far from being essential, not to say relatively anecdotal.

Especially when we compare it to the price of the refurbished iPhone 13 at “premium” grade: Around 550 euros for the 128 GB version and less than 700 euros for the 512 GB version if you have a lot of storage. Note that prices may vary slightly depending on the color, some are more in demand than others and therefore a little more expensive.

This is a very good plan, because old flagships tend to age better than others. At this price, it's impossible to find a new iPhone on the shelves today, and you can be assured that the product will age well. And maybe even better than a new device from another brand this year.
