Apple Raises Trade-In Values for iPhone, Mac, and More
Key Points:
- Apple has increased its U.S. trade-in values for most iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models, with some devices seeing nearly a 30% rise compared to May's estimates.
- The iPhone 16 Pro Max now has the highest trade-in value at up to $720, with increases extending down to many older supported iPhone models, while some models like the iPhone 16e and iPhone 14 Plus remain unchanged.
- iPad trade-in values have also risen across all current models, and Macs experienced significant boosts, notably the Mac mini with a 28% increase in estimated value.
- Apple Watch trade-in estimates increased for most series, though select models such as the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and SE variants saw no change.
- For the first time, Apple added several newer Android devices from Samsung, Google, and OnePlus to its trade-in program, though some Android trade-in values declined; final trade-in offers still depend on device condition and eligibility.
