Upgrading your phone can be a scary thought for your wallet. A new iPhone at its lowest level will still end up costing you close to a thousand bucks. Go for anything beyond the basic model and you’ll be soring right over that threshold. If it’s come time to replace the old model you’re working with now, you can end up saving yourself quite a bit of dough by going with a model that’s a couple years behind. You’ll save even more by going the route of certified refurbished iPhones. Right now, Back Market has preowned iPhone 15s, refreshed to work like new, selling for as low as $386 for a limited time.
Restored Professionally
Back Market categorizes its certified refurbished tech into three different tiers based on their condition. “Fair” is used to denote preowned products that have visible signs of use, “Good” for those showing light signs of use, and “Excellent” in cases which there are almost no signs of use. All tiers make use of verified parts in their reconstruction. The better the codition, the higher the price, typically.
For the time being, Back Market has reduced the price of its “Good” models for the iPhone 15 down to the same levels as the “Fair” models. Right now, you can choose the middle tier iPhone 15, getting the 128GB model for $397. If you require more storage than that, two more options for storage capacity are available. The 256GB model is now sitting at $479, and the 512GB model is sitting at $519.
These prices are all significantly lower than Apple set the iPhone 15 at the time of its release. In September 2023, the iPhone 15 started at $799 for the 128GB model. We can also compare that against the newest iPhone. This is also what the latest iPhone—the iPhone 17—had sold for at the time of its release.
Back Market also has the iPhone 15 available in an assortment of different color options, however, they are not all priced equally. The standard black edition is the most affordable, sitting at that $386 figure for the 128GB model. If you want something more vibrant and are okay with spending a little bit more, you can opt for the green version which is now selling for $415. Likewise, the blue model is now at $425, the pink model at $427, and the yellow model at $450.
