What Affects Your iPhone 15's Resale Price
Color and Demand
Certain iPhone 15 colours hold value better due to demand. Natural Titanium and Black Titanium (Pro models) and natural colours consistently fetch ₹1,000–₹3,000 more than less popular colours in India's second-hand market.
Battery Health
The iPhone 15 series introduced proper battery health percentage display. Buyers will check this. Above 90%: no deduction. 80–89%: minor deduction of ₹1,000–₹2,000. Below 80%: expect ₹3,000–₹5,000 off quoted price.
Condition: Screen and Back
The iPhone 15 Pro has a titanium frame (more scratch-resistant) but glass front and textured matte glass back. Any crack or significant scratch on the screen glass deducts ₹6,000–₹12,000. Back glass damage deducts ₹3,000–₹6,000.
Accessories Included
Original box, original USB-C cable (the braided cable that came with Pro models), and any original accessories add ₹800–₹2,000 to perceived value and help close deals faster.
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14 Resale - Is the Price Difference Worth It?
If you're considering which iPhone to buy second-hand, here's the gap:
- iPhone 14 128GB good condition: ₹28,000–₹34,000
- iPhone 15 128GB good condition: ₹36,000–₹43,000
- Difference: ₹8,000–₹10,000
For sellers, the iPhone 15 commands a meaningful premium over the 14. If you own a 15, selling now - before the iPhone 16 further establishes itself in the market - maximises your return.
When to Sell Your iPhone 15
The iPhone 16 was announced in September 2024. Prices for the iPhone 15 dropped around that time and have since stabilised. If you're going to sell, now is a reasonable time - waiting another 6 months means more depreciation as iPhone 16 becomes more commonplace in resale too.
