This is an iphone from backmarket,
And this is an Iphone from apple certified refurbished!

I've decided to buy the same Iphone from both backmarket - the refurbished marketplace, and apple's own refurbished program - creatively named, "apple certified refurbished"

The reason why the 12 mini from back market had such a low battery health percentage was because the 12 mini had a huge flaw in it's battery as apple made it far too small for it's internal components, therefore it's battery health decreases significantly lower than other iphone models

I understand your methods for the video, but I think going for the best condition possible from BackMarket would have been a better test. Given that Apple replaces the externals of their phones, you’re basically comparing a new iPhone to a used iPhone, and being slightly disappointed that the new phone looks better than the used phone.

If you had gone with the excellent condition, you would be comparing the phones on a much more level playing field, and then making the determination on whether or not a couple scratches and 98% battery health vs a new iPhone is worth it for £180 difference. Cheers,

The main reason why people chose apples refurbished products is because apple puts the used internals into a brand new body with a new battery so you are pretty much getting a brand new phone besides the brains. And you get a new cable with it. Whereas backmarket the battery could be low and the condition can be bad.

Don’t forget to consider the Apple student discount program. And, they don’t care to check, even if you’re a student or not.

You made the wrong comparison. You should compare back market's excellent condition vs. apple's.

A few weeks ago I bought a 256GB Samsung S22 Ultra from Back Market in "Good" condition for only 660€ (about 565£). It looks brand new except for 2 tiny scratches on the corners of the screen. The battery easily lasts an entire day. The display has been replaced at some point because when you look very closely you can see glue residue in between the top and bottom seams. But thats to be expected when you buy refurbished. All in all I'm happy with my "new" phone and I'll probably buy from them again in the future. Oh yeah, only 30 hours after I placed my order, the phone arrived in Belgium all the way from Estonia. That's actually really impressive.

Hey, id like to share my experience with backmarket. My first order got canceled because of stock issues. The second one came delayed, and the display on the phone was replaced with an aftermarket one, that was extremely low quality. True tone was non existant, 3d touch didnt work and the touch itself was really not working properly. They happily took it back for a refund though, so its more of QC than anything really

Great review, really helpful.

Having owned a 6S Plus from new, I’m thinking about refurbished and looking at a 12 Pro Max.

I guess your fair one was just that, so I’d definitely be looking at a much higher condition one.

The Apple refurbished is definitely as new and the new case and battery are certainly a plus.

WOW this video really engaged me. I didnt even notice you only have 500 subscribers. The editing is awesome and you deserve more fame

BackMarket provided the platform for 3rd party refurbishers to sell their iPhone products.

Unlike BackMarket, if you have trouble with the phone you can easily get it repaired or replaced at the Apple Store. Also Apple Certified Refurbished qualify for the AppleCare extended warranty program.

Only 611 subscribers??? I expected to see at least 100k. Great quality

I just found this guy on my recommended and he really should have so many more subs than he does now.

Nice video - well done. I have bought 4 phones from BackMarket and one MacBook Pro and the condition of all 5 have been without any scratches or damage - I bought Fair condition each time as each time the condition has been so good. One of the four phones was an iphone, the other three are Google Pixels. I am shocked at how beat up your iPhone 12 was. What happened?? I am really surprised / shocked.

[ultrabladehd]

Apple refurbished doesnt have the iphone 13 mini i want in stock :(

[SmartieTV]

Awesome video with a great production quality! Can't believe you don't have more than 10K subs.

Hi I am trying to order an i phone 11 from back market and it keeps saying error once ive put my details in do u know why this could be?

Apple refurbished products are brand new products that have a defect, they fix it and sell it as refurbished

[arman_cooldude]

I thought the title said Blackmarket instead of Backmarket 💀💀💀

[arround]

In my country I always buy and resell phones illegally imported without state taxes (damn, what a sinner I am).
And despite the fact that I live on the opposite side of the world from the USA, it always surprised me that both new and used versions for the American market are always so cheaper than any others.
