Programmed software obsolescence is the acceleration of a device’s aging by updating its operating system. It’s ugly, and it’s extremely pernicious.

The Back Market grades are like the Spice Girls: each with their own personality, yet some sing better than others. For our devices (smartphone or other) it’s a little bit the same, even if each one is tested, verified, cleaned and guaranteed 100% functional.

Helping one another, that is. That’s why we’re proud to launch our referral program: you can help a friend save $10 on their first purchase, and they can help you save at least $20 the next time you buy renewed electronics at Back Market.
Making the best of a bad situation.
It’s a common expression, and given how last year went it’s all anyone could really do—us included. This was our mindset when we put together a few initiatives meant to make the world feel just a tiny bit brighter. From reducing our environmental footprint to fighting the digital divide, we wanted to share some of the good things that came out of last year and to start the year off with positive vibes.
In 2019, global giant Apple decided to separate its mobile operating system into two separate programs: iOS for iPhone and iPadOS for tablets. This little difference hasn’t kept the two product lines from sharing the same apps. Nonetheless, the arrival of version 14 of the iPad operating system means Apple’s tablets will now have certain exclusive features that users are going to love! Apple announced its latest developments for iPad during the Special Event Keynote at WWDC 2020. They include access to interactive widgets, dedicated features, etc. Before long, your tablet will be able to do anything a Mac can do!
Here’s our sneak peek at the changes that are coming soon with your next iPadOS update (expected this fall).

At Back Market, we strongly believe that we can do better with less. We suddenly felt like shouting it out with a little Charlie Chaplin, some Mozart, and lots of words that start with Re.
When it comes to being eco-friendly, smartphones aren’t exactly star performers… not by a long shot! But instead of focusing solely on the negatives, it is important to recognize the efforts that manufacturers are making to limit the planetary disaster they’ve dragged us into and learn about initiatives gradually being implemented to reduce the pollution we generate with our precious phones.
