Sell your iPhone 15 while it still has a market.

15, Plus, Pro or Pro Max. Working, scratched, cracked or dead. A real offer in about a minute and a courier that costs you nothing.

The iPhone 15 was the one that finally moved to USB-C, which quietly made it the oldest iPhone that still feels current to use. That matters for resale: it is the point below which a second-hand buyer starts thinking of a phone as old rather than as a bargain.

It is also the generation we see most often in the honest, unglamorous condition that real phones are actually in. A scuff on the corner, a screen protector that has taken a hit, eighty-something percent battery. None of that stops it being worth a real amount of money, and none of it needs fixing before you sell it.

Do not spend money repairing a phone you are about to sell. The repair almost never returns what it costs. Tell us what is wrong and let the price reflect it.

Upgrading? Put it towards the new one.

Skipping a generation is usually the better value move, and going 15 to 17 is where the camera and battery difference stops being a spec sheet and starts being noticeable. Your 15 covers a real slice of it.

Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.

The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.

What affects your offer.

USB-C, which is doing more work than you think

Being the first USB-C generation gives the 15 a floor that the 14 does not have. Buyers who want one device charger will step down to a 15 and stop there, which keeps demand up and keeps our offer up with it.

Titanium on the Pro models, and how it wore

The 15 Pro's brushed titanium marks differently to aluminium, and the frame's edges show it first. Look at the corners under a light before you describe the condition, because that is the first place we look too.

Battery health, which is now the main question

At this age most 15s sit in the low-to-mid eighties. That is normal and priced in. Under 80% is the line where it starts costing you meaningfully, because Apple flags it and buyers budget for a replacement.

Storage, especially on the Pro Max

128GB is the least desirable configuration on any 15 and 256GB is the volume seller. On a Pro Max, higher storage is worth chasing in the calculator rather than rounding down.

We still buy it with these.

Choose the closest condition in the calculator and mention anything that is wrong. Your offer already takes it into account.

  • Cracked or shattered screen, front or back glass
  • Battery health under 80%, or a phone that dies at 30%
  • Face ID that has stopped working
  • Charging port that only works if you hold the cable just so
  • Camera with dust, haze or a rattling stabiliser
  • Charging port worn, loose or full of pocket lint
  • Will not switch on at all

iPhone 15 questions.

Almost never. An official battery replacement costs more than it adds to the offer, and an unofficial one can reduce the offer, because a non-genuine battery shows up in the phone's own service history and buyers avoid it. Sell it as it is and let the price reflect the battery.
