Apple Launches Limited-Time Bonus Trade-In Credit for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch in Many Countries

Apple has launched a special limited-time offer for iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and iPad trade-in that offers customers additional credit when trading in their only device for a new one.

The offer is being run in several countries including the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, India, and France. In the UK, Apple is offering up to £50 of extra trade-in credit for specific iPhone and ‌iPad‌ models and up to £30 for certain Mac and Apple Watch models. Apple is automatically applying for the additional trade-in credit during the process.

As always, exact trade-in values will depend on the model of the device and other factors like its condition. Apple earlier this week cut down on the base trade-in value of some its devices, but with the offer that runs until May 31, the losses should be less for customers trading devices.

Update 7:15 a.m.: The bonus is now also showing as available in the United States with bonuses of up to $50 on iPhone and ‌iPad‌, up to $40 on Apple Watch, and just $10 on Mac.

Additional credit seems OK for other countries, but why not for the US?
Because they just lowered it SUBSTANTIALLY for the US so would be an odd move. My M1 iMac lost $400 trade in value overnight so my $1600 MSRP less than 1yr old iMac is worth about $440…

Ha not even a week after they lower the trade-in values they offer this “bonus.” That’s unethical business practice.

You were fine until your last statement. They can charge whatever they want and provide whatever trade in value they want. Don’t like it, buy a PC. But it’s not unethical.
I agree that "unethical" is too strong but Apple promoting this as some sort of special bonus or extra credit is kind of deceiving given that they recently lowered trade-in values. It would be like a company increasing prices 50% and then a week later promoting a super special 25% off sale. But, it happens. Apple is certainly not alone here and they are free to charge what they want and offer what they want for trade-ins.
