Back Market Expert Analysis

In the April 2026 refurbished smartphone market, iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, which are relatively new, ranked high in all regions: Japan, the United States, and Europe. In Japan, the iPhone 14 rose from 3rd to 2nd place compared to the January-March 2026 ranking. The iPhone SE (2022) maintained its top position, indicating stable demand due to its affordable price point, starting from the low 20,000 yen range, and its compact usability. In the European market, the iPhone 17 ranked 4th. Despite being a recently launched model, a significant price difference of approximately 30% compared to new devices contributed to its strong sales. In the US, high-end models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max also ranked, suggesting increasing demand for newer, high-performance devices.
