The iPhone 13 Pro Max is the pinnacle of performance for Apple's iPhone 13 series, but with that comes a hefty price tag. Instead of buying new, you can save money when you shop for certified refurbished devices. For example, at Back Market, customers typically save 30-70% off on average compared to the price of a new iPhone. The best part is, you'll be paying for a discounted iPhone 13 Pro Max that works the same as a new one that was just opened from the Apple Store. All refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, repaired (if necessary), cleaned and thoroughly tested to the same manufacturer standard. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or pre-owned iPhone 13 Pro Max phone compared to a refurbished one.
If saving money isn't a big enough benefit for you, consider that buying a renewed iPhone is also a much friendlier environmental option compared to buying new. That's because these used phones are kept out of our landfills and renewed for a second life, so you'll be helping to reduce electronic waste and your carbon footprint when you shop refurbished.
You'll find the highest product quality and lowest prices on a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max at Back Market. That's because we specialize specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new.
Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop for iPhone 13 Pro Max deals on our platform.
If you're still unsure on which model to pick for your next phone, check out these popular comparisons with our smartphone comparison tool:
All iPhone purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPhone for your needs at lower prices.
If this is your first time buying refurbished, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your phone may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect your iPhone performance and you can expect your device to perform as a brand new iPhone. You should also be confident that your iPhone 13 Pro Max is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.
If you already have an iPhone or a different phone model that you're looking to replace, consider trading it into Back Market to give you a little extra budget for your next upgrade. We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current phone model.
