Where can I buy the 15 Pro? (US)

General Forum
1

Feel like I’m hitting a wall here. I’d like to buy a new 15 Pro from a trustworthy source. Here’s what I’m finding:

- Apple: not available
- My preferred carrier (Visible): not available
- Other carrers: available, but I don’t want a locked phone with them
- Amazon: “renewed” only, and not sure whether to trust the vendors
- Best Buy: available, but only through Verizon or AT&T
- FB Marketplace: seems like people really discourage this channel

Am I missing anything? What would you recommend?

There’s some in Best Buy that say unlocked, no carrier, and pickup in an hour. At least in my app and area.

I could only find ones that get you locked in to a contract for the 15 pro max

Also take a look at Back Market

I second Swappa. I have bought and sold phones there and have never had an issue.

Back Market. Just bought a 15 pro from them.

Swappa. I have sold all my old phones on there and purchased used ones without issues.

What’s your budget

Budget isn’t a concern. Just want the phone to be brand new and from a reputable source!

You’re better off going for a 16 then, reputable retailers stopped selling it, so you’re left with renewed or used.

Not if you don’t like the 6.3” display and prefer a smaller phone

Yeah but his goals aren’t achievable. He said he wants brand new unlocked, not easily possible anymore. I wouldn’t compromise those desires to avoid a phone that’s .03 inches wider

You are going to have to do swappa for “brand new” otherwise I bought my 15 PM on apple swap here. Got a solid deal, 100% battery life and Apple care included for 1.5 years

Apple does renews phones that are good and so does eBay and Amazon. Sometimes they have a longer warranty than non renewed

I wish the Best Buy ones weren’t locking you in to a contract. The 14PM and the 15s don’t but they do for the 15PM and all 16s
