Refurbished iPhone 15

Why Choose a Refurbished iPhone 15?

There are plenty of reasons the iPhone 15 is a brilliant buy. Here is what you get for your money:

• A bright, modern display. The 6.1 inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with Dynamic Island is sharp and colourful, and reaches up to 2000 nits outdoors so it stays easy to read in bright sunlight.
• Fast, capable performance. The A16 Bionic chip handles everything from everyday apps to gaming and 4K video with ease.
• A 48MP main camera. Capture sharp, detailed photos with sensor shift stabilisation and a 2x optical quality zoom, backed up by the 12MP Ultra Wide lens.
• USB-C charging. Charge and transfer data with the same cable as most modern devices, no separate Lightning cable needed.
• Safety built in. Crash Detection and Emergency SOS can call for help automatically if you are ever in an accident.
• 5G ready. Faster downloads and smoother streaming wherever there is coverage.
• Built to last. An aluminium and glass design with a tough Ceramic Shield front and IP68 water resistance.
• MagSafe built in. Snap on a wireless charger, case or wallet in a second.

Plus, because it is refurbished, you save money and keep a good phone out of landfill.

iPhone 15 specs at a glance

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 14

The iPhone 15 is a clear step up from the iPhone 14.

It swaps the notch for the Dynamic Island, moves to a USB-C charging port, and steps up to the faster A16 Bionic chip. The biggest change is the camera: a 48MP main sensor (versus 12MP on the iPhone 14) for much sharper, more detailed photos, plus a brighter display. If you want the newest design, USB-C and the best camera, the 15 is well worth it. If value is the priority, the iPhone 14 is still a great choice and keeps the Lightning port.

iPhone 15 vs iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 is the newer model and adds the faster A18 chip, a new Camera Control button, the customisable Action button and support for Apple Intelligence features.

The iPhone 15 already covers the essentials that most people care about, the Dynamic Island, USB-C and a 48MP camera, at a lower price. If you want the latest chip and the newest features, step up to the 16. If you want flagship quality for less, the 15 is a smart buy.

Who is the iPhone 15 for?

The iPhone 15 suits a lot of people:

• Anyone who wants a recent iPhone for less without paying flagship prices.
• Upgraders from an older iPhone such as an 11, 12 or 13, who will love the Dynamic Island, USB-C and the 48MP camera.
• Keen photographers who want a high resolution main camera and a 2x optical quality zoom.
• Anyone tidying up their cables, since USB-C charges your iPhone, iPad and many other devices with one cable.
