Sell your iPhone 15 Pro, the one that still feels current.

15 Pro or Pro Max. First titanium, first USB-C, and still perfectly modern to use. That last part is worth money.

The 15 Pro occupies a useful position: it was the first USB-C iPhone and the first titanium Pro, which means it is the oldest Pro that still feels entirely current in the hand. Buyers notice that, and it puts a floor under the price that the 14 Pro does not have.

Someone weighing a used 15 Pro against a used 14 Pro is weighing one cable against another, and that alone is enough to keep 15 Pro demand steady. It is one of the few times in this business where a single connector is worth real money.

What does move the number at this age is the battery and whether the phone has ever been opened. Both are worth checking properly before you describe it, and both are covered below.

Every one of these has two numbers.

What it is worth working, and what it is worth faulty. Both are real, both are yours in about a minute, and both depend on the actual device rather than a best case printed on a page. That is why the number lives in the calculator and not in a table here.

If you are upgrading, you are not selling. You are part-paying.

Skipping a generation is usually the better value move, and 15 Pro to 17 Pro is where the camera and battery difference stops being a spec sheet and starts being noticeable day to day.

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 actually moves the number.

USB-C, which is doing real work here

Being the first USB-C Pro gives this phone a floor. Buyers who want one cable for everything will step down to a 15 Pro and stop there rather than going further back, and that demand shows up in what we can pay.

Whether it has been opened

By this age a lot of 15 Pros have had a screen or battery done. That is fine and we buy them. Say whether the work was Apple or third-party, because a non-genuine part shows in the phone's own service history and buyers discount for it.

Battery health, which is now the main question

Most 15 Pros sit in the mid-eighties. That is normal and priced in. Under 80% is the line where it starts costing meaningfully. Read the real number rather than estimating from how it feels.

Titanium wear at the corners

The brushed finish marks differently to the polished steel that came before it, and it shows at the edges first. Two minutes under a bright light before you pick a condition.

Things that do not disqualify it.

Every one of these lowers the offer. Not one of them ends it. Pick the matching condition, say what is wrong in the notes, and the price you are shown already accounts for it.

  • 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
  • Water damage, including phones that dried out and seemed fine
  • Will not switch on at all

iPhone 15 Pro questions.

Meaningfully, but it does not stop the sale. An aftermarket screen usually means no True Tone and a repair-history flag in Settings, both of which a buyer can see, so it prices lower than a genuine one. Declaring it is the difference between a firm offer and a revision after testing.
