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, launched in September 2018, remains a solid choice for users seeking a premium Apple smartphone with a compact design and reliable performance. Though a few generations old, it still offers a smooth iOS experience and quality build.

Key features:

Release Date: September 2018
Display: 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED, HDR10 support
Processor: A12 Bionic chip with 6-core CPU
Camera: Dual 12MP rear cameras with Smart HDR and Portrait mode
Operating System: Ships with iOS 12, supports updates to iOS 16
Build Quality: Stainless steel frame with IP68 water and dust resistance
Connectivity: 4G LTE compatible

Who is this for?

The iPhone XS suits users who want a compact yet powerful iPhone without the latest generation’s features. It’s ideal for those who prefer a smaller screen compared to newer models like the iPhone 13 or 14, and for users comfortable with 4G connectivity rather than 5G. It’s a practical option for students, professionals, or anyone needing a dependable device for everyday use.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Vibrant OLED display with accurate colours.	No 5G support, limited to 4G LTE.
Powerful A12 Bionic chip for smooth performance.	Battery performance may be reduced compared to newer models.
IP68 water and dust resistance.	Smaller screen size may not suit users wanting larger displays.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished iPhone XS supports a more sustainable approach by extending the life of quality devices. Each pre-owned device on Back Market undergoes thorough testing to meet high standards of functionality and condition. Learn more about our quality standards.
