Apple Updates Trade-In Values for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch

Apple today updated its U.S. trade-in estimates, raising values for most current iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models while reducing several Android offers.

The headline iPhone trade-in figure rises from $685 to $695, with every iPhone 16 model gaining value:

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max: $685 to $695
  • iPhone 16 Pro: $550 to $560
  • iPhone 16 Plus: $455 to $465
  • iPhone 16: $435 to $460

Every current ‌iPad‌ also gains value, with the headline range shifting from $40 to $670 up to $45 to $690:

  • iPad Pro: $670 to $690
  • iPad Air: $445 to $460
  • iPad: $220 to $235
  • iPad mini: $250 to $265

Mac changes are mixed, with most current models gaining value:

  • MacBook Pro: $685 to $690
  • MacBook Air: $485 to $520
  • Mac mini: $340 to $375
  • iMac: Unchanged at $355

Despite those increases, the top of Apple's Mac trade-in range slips from $2,090 to $2,045, suggesting a reduction for a higher-end model not shown in Apple's summary table, such as the Mac Pro or Mac Studio. The Apple Watch lineup also gets a mix of revisions:

  • Apple Watch Ultra 2: $295 to $305
  • Apple Watch Series 9: $120 to $130
  • Apple Watch Series 10: Unchanged at $150
  • Apple Watch Ultra: $215 to $205

Android trade-in offers have largely been cut, with the headline range narrowing from $30 to $370 down to $30 to $360:

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: $230 to $200
  • Google Pixel 8 Pro: $170 to $165
  • Samsung Galaxy S23: Unchanged at $125
  • OnePlus 12: Unchanged at $200

All Apple-listed values are estimates, with final offers determined after the device is received and inspected. Customers can apply trade-in credit toward a new purchase or receive the value as an Apple Gift Card, and Apple will recycle ineligible devices for free.

Still ridiculous that storage size doesn’t affect iPhone trade-in value.

This "Trade In" system is flawed, to say the least. I attempted to trade in my iPhone 16 Pro Max. A week after sending it in I receive an email stating that the phone could not be traded due to "modifications by a third party" I didn't modify anything. Don't even know how. Tried again month later, thinking it was a mistake, with the same results. So, the entire system is a little screwed up.

It’s a total Scam IF it’s using a third party by sending it in but if you do it at the Apple Store almost 100% of the time the experience is smooth and positive.
