Apple introduced the iPhone 15 lineup back in September 2023, and those models were the first iPhones ever to feature USB-C. Fast forward to this week, Apple started offering refurbished models for the iPhone 15 lineup in both the U.S. and Canada. Those smartphones are offered with approximately 15% discounts of their MSRPs when they are/were bought new.
In the U.S. Refurbished Store, these are the starting prices for every model:
- iPhone 15: $619
- iPhone 15 Plus: $699
- iPhone 15 Pro: $759
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: $929
At the time of this writing, supplies for specific colors and capacities may fluctuate over time, so if you have a specific configuration in mind, you may need to check back often.
With that said, all refurbished models from Apple are throughly tested to provide the same quality you’d expect from Apple. They come with a new battery, new exterior, a new USB-C cable, all packaged in white boxes. Plus, you get the same 14-day return window, 1-year limited warranty, and optional AppleCare+ coverage.
This refurbished iPhone 15 at $619 may be a better option for you as it brings more “flagship” features such as the Dynamic Island, a brighter OLED display, the Ultra Wideband chip, and MagSafe charging – all of which are omitted on the new iPhone 16e. If you don’t care about Apple Intelligence or the latest A18 chip, you can’t go wrong with the iPhone 15.
