Apple Raises Trade-In Values for iPhones, Macs, iPads, and More
Apple has a program where people can trade in their old phones, computers, and tablets and get money to use toward a new one.
Recently, Apple decided to give people more money for their old devices.
This means an old iPhone could be worth almost 30% more than before.
The newest big phone, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, can be traded in for up to $720.
Even really old iPhones, like the iPhone 8, are included in the higher values.
Apple also raised trade-in amounts for Mac computers and iPads.
People with some Samsung, Google, or OnePlus phones can also get a bit more money.
Getting more money for old devices is like getting a bigger discount on a new one.
This is good news for people who want to buy a new Apple product.
Apple increased maximum trade-in values for iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Apple Watch models, with old iPhones now worth nearly 30% more.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max's maximum trade-in value rose from $695 to $720, while the iPhone 16 Pro rose from $560 to $630.
Higher values also apply to older models including the iPhone 12 series, iPhone 11 series, iPhone XS, and iPhone 8.
MacBook Pro trade-in rose to $855 from $690, MacBook Air to $580 from $520, and iPad Pro to $720 from $690.
Selected Samsung and Google phones saw trade-in values raised by up to $5, and the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R were added to the eligible list.
