Apple updates its U.S. trade-in estimates, raising the quoted values for most iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models and adding several Android phones to the trade-in list for the first time. Reports say the changes come after Apple previously increased prices on multiple new devices in late June, and some trade-in estimates rise by close to 30% compared with the previous update in May. iPhone estimates increase across much of the lineup, with some higher-end models moving up by tens of dollars and the increases extending to older supported phones such as the iPhone 8. Apple leaves a small set of iPhone models unchanged, including the iPhone 16e, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone X, and iPhone 8 Plus. iPad values also increase, with the iPad mini and iPad Pro among the affected models. Macs see some of the biggest percentage jumps, including increases for MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and others, while the iMac Pro remains unchanged. Apple Watch trade-in values rise across most models, with select models staying the same. For Android, Apple’s added device list includes newer Samsung, Google, and OnePlus phones, while some existing estimates decrease. Apple notes final trade-in offers depend on device condition and configuration, and not all devices qualify.

Macworld When Apple hiked prices on dozens of devices in late June, we were left wondering what that meant for trade-ins. Since Apple was charging more for new devices, we naturally assumed Apple should give us more for our older devices, too. Now they are. As spotted by 9to5Mac, Apple has raised trade-in values for most devices, including Android phones. Presumably this is because Apple will get more from the used devices on the secondary market, whether through resale or reused parts, due to the surging price of RAM and other components. Most notably, iPhone trade-in values have mostly all increased, going all the way back to the iPhone 8, which will net you $5 more than before ($40 versus $35). The only iPhones that haven’t been affected are the 16e, 14 Plus, 2nd-gen SE, X, and 8 Plus. Apple doesn’t offer trade-in estimates for its newest iPhones, including the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Series 11, MacBook Neo, and other current devices. Here are a few highlights for the models it does offer: iPhone 16 Pro: Up to $630 ($70 more) iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to $405 ($30 more) iPad: Up to $260 ($25 more) iPad mini: Up to $300 ($35 more) MacBook Pro: Up to $855 ($160 more) Mac Studio: Up to $1,305 ($270 more) Of course, the maximum value depends on the condition, configuration, and age of the device, and you can almost certainly get more by selling your device through eBay or some other third-party site. But if you’re buying through Apple, the process is easy and straightforward—and now you’re getting a little more, too, just in time for new iPhones, Apple Watches, and Macs this fall. You can check the trade-in value for your device on the Apple Trade In site.
