Apple iPhone Trade-In Promotion Ends as Credit Values Lowered

As expected, Apple has ended its limited-time promotion that increased the trade-in values for select iPhone models in the United States when customers buy a new iPhone.

The two-week promotion officially came to a close on June 3, which means anyone trading in their existing iPhone 11 or newer today will get slightly less money knocked off the price of a new iPhone than they would have done the previous day. Some of the new values have been reproduced below, with the previous promotional values in brackets:

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to $630 (vs. $650)
  • iPhone 14 Pro: Up to $520 (vs. $530)
  • iPhone 14 Plus: Up to $420 (vs. $430)
  • iPhone 14: Up to $370 (vs. $380)
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max: Up to $450 (vs. $460)
  • iPhone 13 Pro: Up to $370 (vs. $380)
  • iPhone 13: Up to $300 (vs. $320)
  • iPhone 13 mini: Up to $270 (vs. $300)
  • iPhone SE (3rd generation): Up to $160 (vs. $170)

Trade-ins can be completed on Apple's website or at an Apple Store, and the credit can be applied towards the purchase of a new Apple product, or placed on an Apple gift card for later use. Apple's trade-in page offers a complete list of values for devices.

Does this make any difference to anyone? If money really matters I guess you sell it yourself on one of many platforms to make a more money. If you cannot be bothered, I suppose you go Apple trade-in, at a cost... If you make that decisions +/- $10 is not of much importance, presumably?

Poor trade in values return to their usual even poorer trade in values. So sad I makes that whole $20 boost I say, tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Trade ins feel like such a scam to me, I always resell my old phones myself

Apple stuff always sells so easily (here at least) it makes no sense to go with trade ins

From a corporate standpoint, shouldn't Apple have really aggressive trade-in prices to get old hardware out of the ecosystem, keeping 'loyal' customers on a tighter upgrade cycle and encouraging potential buyers to get a new device because of 2nd hand scarcity?

Or is it simply that highly price-sensitive consumers either buy an eBay iPhone for $300 or get a cheapo Android phone?

I trade in to the carrier so I end up with a free phone. I buy someone else’s phone that is the cheapest of the full rate trade in to get all the bill credits and then sell my phone on swappa for a better deal.
