Back Market Black Friday 2026: the prices before
Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, 2026. We do not know in advance whether Back Market US will discount anything, and we make no claim about it: what this page holds is the reference point — the price of each of the 15 models we track before the date, so that any announced discount can be measured against it. As of September 16, 2026, the lowest of them was the iPhone 13 at $230.
Every year, dozens of pages announce the “best Black Friday deals” weeks in advance without a single deal to show. This one does the opposite: it publishes the price of the 15 refurbished iPhones we track on Back Market US before the date, so you can judge whatever gets announced.

Black Friday falls the day after Thanksgiving, the Friday following the fourth Thursday of November. It is a commercial operation, not a regulated period: its length and depth depend on each seller.

The benchmark
The prices we recorded before the date
Entry price of every tracked model on Back Market US, at our latest reading. Keep this page open on the day: an announcement only means something against the price before it.

Indicative prices, not a guarantee
Telling a real discount from a display discount
A discount is always announced against a reference price, and that reference is what needs checking. The useful reflex is not to compare against the struck-through price shown, but against the price the same model had the week before — and against the lowest it has already reached.
That is the only check that separates a genuine drop from a rise followed by a discount. It requires a history, which is exactly what we keep, model by model, with the date of every reading.
A second, less obvious benchmark: on refurbished stock, the entry price depends on which sellers are listed and what they hold that day. A model can lose tens of dollars with no promotion announced, and regain them the following week.
What the history already says
The benchmarks worth remembering
Three figures from our readings, to use as a yardstick the day a price moves.
- The lowest price we have recorded across every model is $226 on the iPhone 13, on September 2, 2026.
- The most mobile model is the iPhone 17: we have recorded it between $688.14 and $1,002.77.
Getting ready
What is actually worth doing before the date
None of this requires coming back to the site every day — quite the opposite.
- 1
Pick the model, not the promotion. The steepest discount will be on a device nobody wants; the one you care about will be modest.
- 2
Look at the lowest price already recorded for that model: that is the realistic threshold, and it is often below what a commercial event offers.
- 3
Set an alert at that price. You will be told if the drop comes, announced or not — and most are not.
Frequently asked questions
When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, 2026.
Black Friday falls the day after Thanksgiving, the Friday following the fourth Thursday of November. It is a commercial operation, not a regulated period: its length and depth depend on each seller.
Will Back Market US discount refurbished iPhones?
We do not know, and we will not guess. We observe published prices; we have no visibility on commercial plans, and we would rather say so than fill the page with predictions.
What we can tell you is where prices stand today, model by model, and how far each has already fallen in our readings. That is what makes an announcement measurable.
How do I tell whether an announced price is genuinely low?
Compare it with the lowest price already recorded for that model, not with the struck-through reference price. Across every model we track, the lowest we have recorded is $226, on the iPhone 13, on September 2, 2026.
Each model page shows its own low, its average and its recent trend — the three figures a discount claim never includes.
Is it better to wait for the date or buy now?
On refurbished stock, most drops are not announced: the entry price follows sellers and stock, not a calendar. Waiting for one specific day means missing the drops that happen on all the others.
Setting an alert at your price covers both cases at once, and costs nothing.
Set your price now rather than watching on the day
A short drop sometimes lasts less than forty-eight hours, and does not wait for a calendar date. Set your threshold and we email you the moment it is reached.
