The switch to USB-C happened all at once, at the 15 generation: everything before is Lightning, everything after is USB-C, with no exception. 12 of the models we track on Back Market US sit on the right side of that line.
The criterion, precisely
The whole iPhone 15 range and everything after charges over USB-C, Pro and standard models alike. Everything before the 15 generation uses Lightning. There is no special case to remember: the switch is clean.

The detail, with recorded prices
The cheapest model in the selection is not necessarily the one in the best buying window. The “lowest” and “average” columns place today's price against each model's history.

The models still on Lightning
They work perfectly, but require keeping a Lightning cable alongside everything else. That is the one serious argument for USB-C on a second-hand purchase, and it is worth exactly what your other devices are worth. The tracked models concerned:

Where this list and these prices come from
Model selection comes from published hardware specifications — screen size, connector, chip, lenses — which never change. The prices come from our own readings of the Back Market page, once or twice a day, and change constantly. We do not blur the two: we publish no price we have not observed.
Frequently asked questions
What was the first iPhone with USB-C?
The iPhone 15, released in 2023, is the first to drop Lightning. The whole 15 generation is concerned, as is every generation after it.
No earlier model has USB-C: the rule has no exception, which makes checking before a purchase very simple.
What is the cheapest refurbished iPhone with USB-C?
As of October 31, 2026, it was the iPhone 16e, at $354 on Back Market US.
The price changes at every reading: it is an entry price, for the cheapest configuration available on the day.
Does USB-C mean Apple Intelligence support?
No, and this trips people up. The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus have USB-C but not Apple Intelligence: their A16 chip does not allow it.
The two criteria overlap heavily but not completely. If Apple Intelligence matters to you, check that criterion, not the connector.
