Apple will now give you more trade-in value for these iPhones, iPads and Macs

I’m a big believer in holding on to your tech for as long as possible, but at some point, you need to upgrade. When that time comes, it helps to get some cash for your old device to offset the cost of a new one—especially when that new device is from Apple, whose products hold their value well.

If you’re considering trading in your old Apple product for a new one, there’s some good news: Apple just increased its trade-in estimates on a number of devices (while, at the same time, lowering estimates on others.)

Reported by MacRumorsApple on Wednesday updated its trade-in values ​​for the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch devices. The company lists values ​​for all devices it accepts for trade-in On its official Apple Trade in website. While you can’t trade in every device, the company accepts trade-ins for products from 2017 to the present. While you won’t get much for an iPhone 8 (up to $35) or an Apple Watch SE (up to $30) these days, many older devices are worth more in trade-in value today than they were yesterday.

Apple’s new trade-in values

At this point, Apple seems to have mostly changed the values ​​of the latest models in this device category—and mostly for the better. While Apple doesn’t note its own price changes, MacRumors has compiled all the previous values, which I’ve noted here, along with the new estimates:

• iPhone 16 Pro Max: $695 (was $685)

• iPhone 16 Pro: $560 (was $550)

• iPhone 16 Plus: $465 (was $455)

• iPhone 16: $460 (was $435)

• iPad Pro: $690 (was $670)

• iPad Air: $460 (was $445)

• iPad: $235 (was $220)

• iPad mini: $265 (was $250)

• MacBook Pro: $690 (was $685)

• MacBook Air: $520 (was $485)

• Mac mini: $375 (was $340)

• iMac: $355 (unchanged)

• Apple Watch Ultra 2: $305 (was $295)

• Apple Watch Series 9: $130 (was $120)

• Apple Watch Series 10: $150 (Unchanged)

• Apple Watch Ultra: $205 (was $215)

Apple has also adjusted trade-in prices for non-Apple devices, including some Android phones. But that’s not necessarily good news: While Apple offers similar values ​​for the Galaxy S23 ($125) and OnePlus 12 ($200), the Galaxy S23 Ultra is down $200 from $230, while the Pixel 8 Pro is down $170 to $165.

In addition, Apple has lowered the estimated price of Mac Pros, the company’s most expensive computer (which it no longer sells). That value is now listed at $2,045, down from $2,090, which sounds like a good chunk of change until you remember. that Apple was selling configurations of the machine that cost as much as $52,000.

These are Apple trade-in estimates, not guarantees

While Apple may indeed offer you $690 for your MacBook Pro, there’s no guarantee that it will. These are trade-in values EstimationAnd, as such, the actual value you provide may vary. Apple notes in the fine print that values ​​will vary based on the “condition, year and configuration” of your device. If your iPhone is banged up or cracked, it will bring down the value; Similarly, the M3 Max MacBook Pro will cost more than the M3 MacBook Pro.

You won’t know what Apple will actually offer you for your particular device unless they tell you, so it’s a good idea to do some research on your make and model to find out what other outlets will pay you for it. If Apple’s offer still seems reasonable, great: you’ll be able to apply the savings to your purchase of a new device right away. But if it’s below what you think you can get for it on other marketplaces, it might be worth the effort to sell it elsewhere.
