An iPhone 15 launched at $799 and goes for about $520 refurbished today — 35% of its value gone. That refurbished price is the number every repair on this page is measured against, because it is what replacing it actually costs.
Repairs on this phone run from about $58 at the cheap end to around $205 at the expensive one, across 8 common faults. Anything near the top of that range is a serious fraction of what the device is worth.
Security updates are expected to run to about 2030, roughly 4 more years, so the software side is not what limits this device.
