What lowers your iPhone 15 offer
-
USB-C port wear
Every iPhone 15 charges over USB-C. A bent connector, lint packed into the port or a cable that fits loosely lowers the condition, so clear it gently before you estimate.
-
Titanium frame dents on Pro models
The 15 Pro and Pro Max use a titanium frame with brushed edges. It resists scratches, but drops leave dents and chipped corners, and deep ones count as damage even with a perfect screen.
-
Back glass, frosted or color-infused
The 15 and 15 Plus have color-infused glass, and the Pro models have a frosted matte back. A crack on either lowers the offer, and a replaced back can change how the phone is graded.
-
Action button and cycle count
The Pro models have an Action button that should click and trigger cleanly. iPhone 15 also shows its battery cycle count under Battery Health & Charging, so heavy use is easy to see and a low maximum capacity lowers the offer.
-
Storage tier
The 15, 15 Plus and 15 Pro start at 128GB, while the 15 Pro Max starts at 256GB and reaches 1TB. Check Settings, General, About for the real capacity, since the bigger tiers are worth more.
Plug cannot take an iPhone 15 that is lost or stolen, or locked with iCloud, Find My or a company or school profile.
Where is the best place to sell an iPhone 15?
That depends on how much time you want to spend. Marketplaces can pay more but come with listing photos, questions and meetups. Plug quotes your exact 15, Plus, Pro or Pro Max in the estimate tool, provides a free prepaid label and pays after inspection.
Who pays the most for an iPhone 15 Pro Max?
The 15 Pro Max is among the best-paying models on any buyback list, but no buyer is always highest. The number depends on storage (256GB to 1TB), condition and whether the phone is unlocked. Compare a few estimates side by side, and remember that store trade-ins often come as credit toward a new purchase.
How much is my iPhone 15 Pro worth?
Find the 15 Pro row in the price table for the up-to value, then start an estimate to get the number for your phone. A 15 Pro with a healthy battery and no dents will sit near the top of its range. The final offer follows inspection.
Can I sell a broken or locked iPhone 15?
A cracked screen or back glass does not stop you from getting an estimate, because you choose the condition and the offer adjusts. Carrier-locked phones are listed under the carrier option. Lost or stolen phones, phones locked with iCloud or Find My, and managed phones cannot be accepted.
More questions about selling your iPhone 15
Can I sell my iPhone 15 Plus?
Yes. The 15 Plus is in the price table above as its own row, separate from the 15. Start the estimate with the Plus selected, since its larger screen and battery mean it has its own values and condition questions.
Is it worth upgrading from an iPhone 15 Pro Max to a 16 Pro Max or 17 Pro Max?
The main gains are a newer chip, better battery life and updated cameras, and the 15 Pro Max is still a strong phone. If you are happy with it, keep it. If you want the upgrade, check your offer first, then look at a Certified Pre-Owned iPhone 17 Pro in the trade-up section.
How do I prepare my iPhone 15 for sale?
Back it up, sign out of your Apple ID, turn off Find My and use Settings, General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Erase All Content and Settings. Remove the SIM card if there is one, and move any eSIM to your new phone first. Then check the estimate still matches the phone in your hand.
How do I get paid for my iPhone 15?
Payment comes after Plug receives and inspects the phone. A payout selection link is sent then, and the options shown vary by offer, including store credit.
