For example, you can personalise the image that appears when you call your contacts, transcribe audio messages and create stickers.

Where can I buy the iPhone 15 cheaper?
As you can see, the price of a new iPhone 15 isn't for everyone. But we know how you can afford it without breaking the bank. To treat yourself and help the planet at the same time, don't hesitate to opt for a refurbished iPhone 15 sold on Back Market (you usually have to wait a few months before they appear on the platform). Our smartphones are refurbished by certified professionals who check them from every angle. You can be sure you're buying a smartphone in perfect working order and of very high quality.
And since Apple isn't known for coming up with a revolution every year (who could?), there's not much difference between an iPhone 15 and an iPhone 14. It's probably a good time to look at these older models (including the iPhone 13), which saw their prices drop after the iPhone 15 was announced.
For extra peace of mind, It's always good to know that all products on the Back Market platform come with a 12-month guarantee and a 30-day returns period.
