I was very happy with the receipt of my iPhone 8 from Back Market. It was everything they said it would be. It was so clean it looked just like brand new and was packaged well and received in a timely manner. Thank you Back Market. I am one very happy customer. The battery life is excellent. It was no trouble at all to download all my data from my old phone into the new one.

Got my iPhone 8 in pristine condition, put in my old SIM from my 6s and seamlessly transferred my data across. Got a new case and my iPhone 8 has not looked back 🤩 Thanks for a quality product at a very fair price :-)

bought this phone for my wife as her existing iPhone 8 had a battery capacity of 82%. Although the condition of the new one is very good battery max is 88%. She's charging it twice a day, like the old one. I should have had a new battery on her existing mobile phone and saved $100+ and given the refurb iPhone SE 2020 I bought (which arrived with non functioning volume +/- buttons) is dead after 16 months I feel I have wasted the best part of $400. So I don't currently feel like telling people what a great money saving idea a refurbished iPhone is. We've been a customer in the UK and Australia for some seven years now too.

Item arrived later than announced (and just in time before my overseas trip for which I purchased it) and was left in the letter box as the alleged "safe place" despite my being at home, waiting for it.. The item is intact and in working order as far as I can tell. I cannot yet comment on battery life and other accessories but had to tick a box to post the review. Not a good evaluation system!

Excellent iPhone 8 easily upgraded to OS 16.7.5. Huge storage capacity & lightning fast. Apple makes inter device porting so easy with all user settings & data included. Suggest offering waterproof & tough protection casing with the sale of phones.
