How to prepare
How to prepare your iPhone 15 to sell
Five quick steps before you post your iPhone 15. Each one protects your data and lets us turn around your payment faster.
1
Back up your data
iCloud or Finder backup keeps your photos, contacts and messages safe so you can restore them on your next phone.
2
Sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My iPhone
Go to Settings → [your name] → Sign Out. Then Settings → [your name] → Find My → Find My iPhone, and switch it off. We can't process your trade-in until Activation Lock is removed.
3
Remove your SIM card and any cases
We don't need the SIM, charger or accessories — keep them for your next device. Your trade-in price is for the iPhone 15 alone.
4
Factory reset the device
Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings. This wipes your data so the next owner starts fresh.
5
Pop it in your free Enviropack
We post you a sturdy padded envelope with a prepaid Royal Mail tracked label. Drop it at any post box or Post Office and we'll handle the rest.

About the model
About the Apple iPhone 15
Released: September 2023.
Apple launched the iPhone 15 in September 2023. Two and a half years on, it still runs the latest iOS, retains the Dynamic Island and 48MP camera that made it a step-change over the iPhone 14, and ships with USB-C — meaning it's a fully modern iPhone in everyday use. UK refurbished demand stays steady because buyers looking to skip the £800+ price of a current-gen flagship can pick up an iPhone 15 in Excellent condition for under half that.
Key specs
- 6.1" Super Retina XDR display, Dynamic Island
- A16 Bionic chip with 5-core GPU
- Dual 48MP camera system, USB-C
- Up to 20 hours video playback, MagSafe
Sell your iPhone 15 for cash with Envirofone
Looking to sell your iPhone 15? Envirofone is one of the most trusted trade-in services in the UK — paying customers cash directly, not store credit. We've been doing this since 2005, with over £160 million paid out and 44,000+ Trustpilot reviews at 4.6 / 5. Get an instant, no-obligation quote above — it takes about 30 seconds — and we'll send you a free Enviropack to post your device. Payment lands the same day your iPhone 15 arrives and passes our test.
How much is the iPhone 15 worth in 2026?
In Excellent condition, the iPhone 15 is currently worth up to £295 with Envirofone — the 128GB model around £215, 256GB around £255, and 512GB up to £295. Devices in Fair condition typically receive 60–80% of the Excellent price. Faulty devices — cracked screen, water damage, won't power on — still attract a real cash offer; we don't reject them like Apple Trade In often does.
Trade-in values for the iPhone 15 have been softening by roughly £25–£35 a month as the iPhone 17 launch cycle pulls used prices down across the range. The 14-day price guarantee on every Envirofone quote means once you accept, the price is locked in — even if values drop while your device is in the post.
Should I sell my iPhone 15 or keep it?
This is the question most iPhone 15 owners are asking in 2026, and the honest answer depends on three things: your battery health, your iOS support runway, and how much the cash actually moves your life forward.
Battery health — most iPhone 15s shipped in late 2023 are now approaching the 80% battery-health threshold, which is when iPhone owners typically start noticing meaningful drop-off in daily usability. If your battery health has dipped below 85%, the device is going to feel slower over the next 12 months whether you trade it in or not.
iOS support runway — Apple typically supports iPhones with major iOS releases for 5–6 years. The iPhone 15 should keep getting major iOS updates through ~2028, so you're not facing imminent obsolescence — but resale value will continue to fall sharply with each new generation.
The cash trade-off — holding for another 6 months at current depreciation rates means losing roughly £150–£200 of resale value. If that cash genuinely matters to you — paying off a bill, putting it toward a newer phone, or just keeping it as cash in your account — selling now is the rational move. If it's just sitting around as a backup phone, that's a £200+ asset depreciating in your drawer.
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 16/17 vs holding — what's the smartest move?
If you're considering an upgrade, the iPhone 16 is a modest step up from the iPhone 15 — same 6.1" form factor, slightly better camera, Apple Intelligence support. The iPhone 17 is a more meaningful generational leap — 120Hz ProMotion display, A19 chip, and the latest design language.
The trade-in cash from your iPhone 15 in Excellent condition (up to £295 with Envirofone) covers a meaningful chunk of either upgrade. Combined with the 7% EnviroCash bonus if you're buying a refurbished newer model, the maths usually favours selling now and putting the cash to work, rather than letting the device depreciate for another 6–12 months in a drawer.
Should I sell my iPhone 15 to Envirofone or use Apple Trade In?
Apple's own Trade In programme will only give you store credit toward a new Apple product — no cash. Envirofone pays you directly by bank transfer the same day your iPhone 15 arrives. We also accept faulty and broken iPhones that Apple Trade In often won't touch, and there are no hidden fees or in-store trips. If you want cash in your account and maximum flexibility, selling to Envirofone is the simpler route. See how it works.
Selling a broken or faulty iPhone 15
Cracked screen? Battery health under 80%? Won't charge or power on? Envirofone still buys it. Select "Faulty" as the condition above and we'll quote you a fair cash price. The only iPhones we can't accept are those reported lost, stolen, or with an active iCloud lock we can't clear with you. More on broken phones.

Sustainability
Why selling your iPhone 15 helps the planet
Every iPhone 15 that gets refurbished and resold instead of going to landfill saves around 70kg of CO₂-equivalent emissions and keeps valuable rare-earth metals in circulation. Smartphones contain gold, silver, copper, lithium and cobalt — materials with a real environmental cost to mine fresh.
Envirofone has been part of the UK's circular-electronics movement since 2005. Every device we buy is tested, refurbished and given a second life with a new owner — or, if it's beyond repair, recycled responsibly so the materials don't end up in a landfill.

Does Envirofone beat Apple Trade In for the iPhone 15?
Apple's own Trade In programme only gives you store credit toward a new Apple device — no cash. Envirofone pays you directly by bank transfer the same day your Apple iPhone 15 passes our test. We also accept faulty and broken iPhones that Apple Trade In often won't, so if you want maximum flexibility and real money in your account, Envirofone is the simpler route.
Is it better to trade in or sell my iPhone 15 privately?
Trading in with Envirofone is faster, safer and free. Private sales on marketplaces can get you a slightly higher price, but you handle the listing, the buyer questions, the meet-up or the postage, and the risk of payment fraud. With Envirofone you get a guaranteed price, free Royal Mail postage, no listing fees, and same-day payment with zero scam risk.
Can I sell a broken or faulty iPhone 15?
Yes. Envirofone buys Apple iPhone 15 devices in any condition — whether yours has a cracked screen, water damage, a faulty battery, or is completely non-working. Select "Faulty" as the condition above and we'll give you a fair price. The only devices we cannot accept are those reported lost or stolen.
Where is the best place to sell my iPhone 15 in the UK?
Envirofone is one of the most trusted places to sell your iPhone 15 in the UK. Since 2005, we've paid over £160 million to customers and recycled millions of devices. We offer competitive prices, free postage, same-day payment and no seller fees. Unlike marketplace listings or comparison sites, you sell directly to us — no middlemen, no waiting, and no risk of scams.
What should I do before selling my iPhone 15?
Before sending your Apple iPhone 15, back up your data, sign out of your account (Apple ID for iPhones), disable Find My Device, and perform a factory reset. Remove your SIM card and any cases or accessories you want to keep. This protects your personal data and allows us to process your trade-in quickly.
How long does it take to get paid for my iPhone 15?
We test your Apple iPhone 15 on the day it arrives at our facility. Once it passes inspection, payment is processed the same day via bank transfer — or choose EnviroCash for a 7% bonus to spend on a refurbished device. Most customers receive their money within 3–5 days of accepting their quote, including postage time.
How long do iPhone trade-in prices stay this high?
Trade-in values for the iPhone 15 drop by roughly £25–£35 each month, with steeper drops at major iPhone launch events in September each year. Selling sooner rather than later locks in the highest value. Our 14-day price guarantee on every quote protects you from drops while your device is in the post.
Is it worth selling my iPhone 15 now?
Yes — trade-in prices decrease over time as newer models launch, so selling sooner means getting more cash. Your Apple iPhone 15 still holds strong value on the refurbished market. Lock in today's price with a 14-day price guarantee and sell before the value drops further.
