iPhone 15 recycling prices UK 2026
The iPhone 15 (standard, 128GB) currently fetches between £170 and £230 from UK recyclers in working condition, depending on which recycler you use and the cosmetic grade. Prices vary by up to £60 between recyclers for the same device — comparing before selling is essential.
Higher storage sizes (256GB, 512GB) attract a premium of £20–£40 over 128GB. Pro and Pro Max models command significantly more — the iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB fetches £350–£420 in excellent condition.
How condition affects the price
Condition is the biggest variable after storage size. An iPhone 15 in excellent condition (no marks, perfect screen) will get 20–30% more than the same device with visible screen or body damage. Being honest about condition when requesting a quote is important — recyclers inspect every device on arrival and revise offers that do not match the stated condition.
When is the best time to sell your iPhone 15?
iPhone prices drop in September when Apple announces new models. If you are planning to sell, doing so before the September announcement window gives you the best price. Prices have already dropped from the peak of £300+ seen shortly after the iPhone 16 launch — the longer you wait, the less you will get.
