A US phone, checked far from the US
Apple introduced the iPhone 15 Plus in 2023. Apple's "Identify your iPhone model" page (read 10 November 2026) lists A2847 for the United States and Puerto Rico, and no tray on that build. Our counts cover the 90 days to 10 November 2026; cells under ten are hidden.
The unusual part of our data is where the lookups came from. Of the 69 A2847 phones, 25 were checked from the United States and 14 from Pakistan. A US-sold phone appearing in Pakistan is normal secondhand trade, but it means the buyer is relying on the seller's word about carrier status.

If a seller in Karachi or Lagos lists an A2847, the phone was most likely bought in the US, so ask whether it was paid off. A phone sold with a US carrier balance can be blocked later even if it works today.
A practical rule for a Plus bought across a border: the Model Number line and the Carrier Lock line in About are the two facts a seller cannot easily fake in a live video call. Ask the seller to scroll to them on camera instead of sending a screenshot, and keep the IMEI visible in the same take.
What to ask for
- A photo of Settings, General, About showing Model Number and Carrier Lock.
- The IMEI from *#06#, matched to the retail box.
- Proof the phone is paid off if it was bought on a plan.
- A walk through the iCloud lock page so the Apple Account is signed out.
Model numbers are Apple's; every tally is ours and will change.
Questions people ask
What is the model number of a US iPhone 15 Plus?
A2847 for the United States and Puerto Rico, per Apple. A3093 is Canada, Guam, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the US Virgin Islands; A3096 is mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao; A3094 is everywhere else.
Why do so many A2847 checks come from Pakistan?
We cannot see why. In our 90-day counts 25 of the 69 A2847 phones came from the United States and 14 from Pakistan, which suggests US-bought phones being resold abroad. That is a reason to read the model number and the lock, not a verdict on any seller.
Does the iPhone 15 Plus have a SIM tray?
Not in the United States. Elsewhere there is a left-side tray for a physical nano-SIM, according to Apple.
Which storage sizes exist?
Apple lists 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB.
