Apologies if I’m wrong section

i need to buy a new iPhone and iPad, both can be older models as only used for basic stuff for my father, something like an iPhone 12. Im not buying new as too expensive and stuff he’d never use

i used to always default to Smartfonestore but they are no longer trading and reviews of other places I have looked at range from awesome to awful, don’t use

who do mumsnetters use please?

We've already bought from back market (did use smartfonestore some years ago). Never had any problems with any of our various iphones but I have noticed reviews are quite bad overall.
Music magpie was a lot more expensive than back market so I think I will risk back market again as I am due a "new" phone.

Back market - I purchased an iPhone 13 mini earlier this year and very pleased with it.

Backmarket. I trade in with them and they’re amazing.
