Is the iPhone 15 Plus still worth buying in 2026?
The 15 Plus sits in the sweet spot for a used iPhone: old enough that the price has dropped well below launch, new enough that nothing about it feels dated. Apple has typically given each iPhone six or more years of major iOS updates, so a 2023 phone should keep receiving them until around 2029.
Buying it QDN Certified changes the maths against a new phone: the price is pre-owned, but the warranty is 15 months, returns are 30 days, and the case, screen protector and cable that Apple no longer includes are in the box.

iPhone 15 Plus compared
iPhone 15 Plus questions, answered
What chip does the iPhone 15 Plus have?
The iPhone 15 Plus runs Apple's A16 Bionic. It handles every current app and game comfortably, but it is not one of the chips Apple supports for Apple Intelligence.
How much RAM does the iPhone 15 Plus have?
6 GB. Apple does not publish RAM figures; this is the widely reported number from teardowns and developer tools.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus have 5G?
Yes. Every iPhone from the iPhone 12 onward supports 5G, including the iPhone 15 Plus. Our phones are carrier-unlocked, so 5G works on any US carrier that supports the phone.
How long does the iPhone 15 Plus battery last?
Apple rates the iPhone 15 Plus at up to 26 hours of video playback on a new battery. On a used phone the real figure depends on battery health, which is why every QDN listing shows the battery health percentage and no QDN Certified iPhone ships below 80%.
How much does the iPhone 15 Plus weigh?
201 grams, about 7.1 ounces.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus have USB-C?
Yes. The iPhone 15 Plus charges and syncs over USB-C. A USB-C cable is included in the box.
How many cameras does the iPhone 15 Plus have?
2 rear cameras: 48 MP main · 12 MP ultra wide. There is no telephoto lens, so zoom beyond 2× is a digital crop. Plus a front camera with Face ID.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus support Apple Intelligence?
No. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or any iPhone 16 or later. The iPhone 15 Plus runs the current iOS but without those features.
Is the iPhone 15 Plus waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not waterproof: rated IP68 for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 6 metres when new. Water damage is not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, and ours is no exception, so treat the rating as protection against accidents rather than an invitation to swim.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus have satellite SOS?
Yes. Emergency SOS via satellite and Roadside Assistance via satellite are supported on the iPhone 15 Plus in the US.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus still get iOS updates?
Yes. The iPhone 15 Plus runs the current version of iOS. Apple has historically supported each iPhone with major updates for six or more years, so a 2023 phone should keep receiving them until around 2029, with security updates for longer.
Does Apple still sell the iPhone 15 Plus?
No. Apple stopped selling the iPhone 15 Plus new in 2025. The way to get one now is pre-owned, which is why a QDN Certified 15 Plus comes with the things a new phone would: a 15-month warranty, 30-day returns, and a case, screen protector and cable in the box.
How much is a used iPhone 15 Plus?
We are out of stock on the iPhone 15 Plus at the moment. When it is in, a QDN Certified 15 Plus is priced well below Apple's $899 launch price, and each listing shows storage, colour and battery health for that exact phone.
