Frequently asked questions

Q: Is USB-C making the iPhone 15 worth more than the 14?
Yes โ€” USB-C compatibility is a genuine selling point buyers mention. Expect $60โ€“90 premium over equivalent iPhone 14 in similar condition.
Q: Do iPhone 15 Pro models drop value faster?
Pro models hold value better in the first year, then converge. The 15 Pro's 48MP camera remains a draw for buyers who want flagship specs at non-flagship prices.
Q: What's the best platform for a high-end iPhone 15 Pro?
Swappa for tech-savvy buyers who pay top dollar; eBay for volume. Avoid Gazelle/carrier trade-ins โ€” they pay 35โ€“45% below market.
Q: How do I check if an iPhone is iCloud locked before buying?
Ask the seller for IMEI, then run it through checkmend.com or Apple's activation lock status checker at appleid.apple.com.
