Very happy about my refurbished phone. I didn’t need the specs of a new phone so bought one with the specs I wanted. Saved me about 1000 dollars. Better for the environment too. One very minor flaw: you advertise with promising at least 85% battery life, mine is 84% (🤨). I can totally life with that. Anyone thinking of going refurbished, go here.

The iPhone XS, released in September 2018, remains a solid choice for users looking for a premium Apple smartphone with a compact design and reliable performance. Though it is several generations old, the iPhone XS still offers a quality OLED display and capable camera system suitable for everyday use.

Key features:

Release Date: September 2018
Display: 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED, HDR10 support
Processor: A12 Bionic chip with next-generation Neural Engine
Camera: Dual 12MP rear cameras with Smart HDR and Portrait mode
Operating System: Ships with iOS 12, supports later iOS updates
Build Quality: Stainless steel frame with IP68 water and dust resistance
Connectivity: 4G LTE with Gigabit-class speeds

Who is this for?

The iPhone XS is well-suited for users who prefer a smaller, high-quality display without sacrificing performance. It fits well for professionals and everyday users who want a reliable device for calls, messaging, photography, and app usage. While newer models offer improved cameras and 5G connectivity, the iPhone XS provides a balanced experience for those not requiring the latest features.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Vibrant OLED display with accurate colours and HDR support.	No 5G connectivity, limited to 4G LTE speeds.
Powerful A12 Bionic chip handles daily tasks and moderate gaming smoothly.	Older camera system compared to newer iPhone models, lacking ultra-wide and night mode improvements.
IP68 water and dust resistance adds durability.	No USB-C port, uses Lightning connector.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished iPhone XS is an eco-conscious decision that extends the life of a well-built device. Each refurbished phone on Back Market is inspected and tested to meet high standards of quality and functionality. Learn more about our quality standards.
