Apple will today expand its trade-in program to offer better pricing for devices with minor cosmetic defects, MacRumors understands. Under Apple's current trade-in system, cosmetic issues such as small chips in the display glass have generally been treated the same way as far more serious damage, such as a cracked or smashed screen, resulting in a similarly steep cut to a device's trade-in...

Trading into Apple is for suckers.
Some people lack the know-how to sell privately or don't want to be bothered with the inconvenience. That does not make them suckers.

I'm going to be a sucker then.

Going to buy two iPhone 16e from Metro by T-Mobile for 2 x ($99.99 + 1 month of $55 plan) = $309.98

Trade them both in for $310 x 2 = $610

Use $610 to get myself a new iPhone 17e

I’ve had an unnerving experience in the past trying to sell an iPhone in person. So every Apple device gets traded in now. I don’t mind losing $100 or so, I’d rather be safe.

I used to sell my old devices (phones mostly) on eBay. I know there are many options for doing this and Apple trade in is the last resort as far as $$$ is concerned. But when I sold my iPhone 6 there was some kind of scam going on where ppl would bail on paying saying that they accidentally initiated the sale. This happened 5 or six times. A few of them were timed auctions and the last few were buy it now. By the time I realized that my options were to either force somebody to pay up and endure whatever headaches bay would require or just take a quick (and lower) sale, I wished I had just traded in the phone with apple. It sure would have been a lot easier and quicker. I haven't tried to sell a device on eBay since.
