Apple revises trade-in values across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch lineups

Apple has updated its trade-in values across several product categories in the United States, with most devices seeing a modest decrease or no change, while a few received slight increases. The revised pricing applies to trade-ins completed either online or at Apple Stores.

Starting with the iPhone range, Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, now offers up to $670, down from $700 previously. The iPhone 16 Pro is valued at up to $550, a $30 drop, while the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 trade-ins are capped at $450 and $420 respectively. Older models saw sharper reductions — the iPhone 15 Pro Max dropped to $470 from $630, and the iPhone 15 Plus fell to $330 from $440. The iPhone 14 Pro Max now returns up to $370, compared to $455 before, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max slipped to $300 from $370. Even midrange models like the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max saw decreases, now valued at up to $150 and $220 respectively. The iPhone SE (3rd generation) remains stable at $80, while very old models such as the iPhone 8 now yield as little as $40.

In the iPad lineup, the iPad Pro holds its previous high value of up to $695. The iPad Air, however, received a modest bump — now worth up to $415, up from $400. The standard iPad’s trade-in value slipped slightly to $175 from $190, while the iPad mini dropped to $255 from $275.

For Mac devices, Apple made broader reductions. The MacBook Pro now offers up to $760, down from $770, and the MacBook Air’s maximum has dropped to $540 from $550. The company has stopped accepting 12-inch MacBook trade-ins entirely, which were previously valued up to $60. iMac models saw notable declines — the standard iMac fell to $375 from $490, and the iMac Pro decreased to $240 from $385. The Mac mini also saw a small reduction, now capped at $380 versus $395 earlier. Apple’s high-end desktop, the Mac Studio, saw one of the biggest adjustments, with the maximum value dropping from $1,140 to $1,030.
