I’m a big believer in keeping your technology for as long as possible, but at a certain point, you need to upgrade. When that time comes, it helps to get some money for your old device to offset the cost of a new device \u2014 especially when that new device is from Apple, whose products hold their value well. <\/p>\n
If you’re thinking of trading in your old Apple product for a new one, there’s some good news: Apple has raised its trade-in estimates on several devices (while, at the same time, lowering the estimates on others.) <\/p>\n
As reported by MacRumors<\/a>Apple updated its trade-in values \u200b\u200bfor the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch devices on Wednesday. The company lists the values \u200b\u200bof all equipment it accepts for trade-in On its official Apple Trade In website<\/a>. Although you can’t trade in every device, the company does accept trade-ins for pre-2017 products. Although you won’t get much for an iPhone 8 (up to $35) or Apple Watch SE (up to $30) these days, some older devices are worth more in trade-in value than they were yesterday. <\/p>\n At this time, it appears that Apple has mostly changed the prices of the latest models in these device categories – and mostly for the better. While Apple itself doesn’t note the price change, MacRumors has compiled all the previous prices, which I’ve noted here, along with the new estimates:<\/p>\n iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/strong>: $695 (was $685)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n iPhone 16 Pro<\/strong>: $560 (was $550) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n iPhone 16 Plus<\/strong>: $465 (was $455)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n iPhone 16<\/strong>: $460 (was $435)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n ipad pro<\/strong>: $690 (was $670)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n ipad air<\/strong>: $460 (was $445)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n ipad<\/strong>: $235 (was $220)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n ipad mini<\/strong>: $265 (was $250)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Macbook Pro<\/strong>: $690 (was $685)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Macbook Air<\/strong>: $520 (was $485)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n mac mini<\/strong>: $375 (was $340)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n iMac<\/strong>: $355 (unchanged) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n apple watch ultra 2<\/strong>: $305 (was $295)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n apple watch series 9<\/strong>: $130 (was $120)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n apple watch series 10<\/strong>: $150 (unchanged)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n apple watch ultra<\/strong>: $205 (was $215)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Apple also adjusted trade-in prices for non-Apple devices, including some Android phones. But that’s not necessarily good news: While Apple offers the same pricing for the Galaxy S23 ($125) and OnePlus 12 ($200), the Galaxy S23 Ultra has dropped from $230 to $200, while the Pixel 8 Pro has dropped from $170 to $165. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What do you think so far? Additionally, Apple reduced the estimated price of Mac Pros, the company’s most expensive computers (which it no longer sells). That price is now listed at $2,045, down from $2,090, which seems like a nice chunk of change, until you remember Apple was selling configurations of that machine that cost up to $52,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although Apple could indeed offer you $690 for your MacBook Pro, there’s no guarantee it will do so. These are the trade-in values Estimate<\/em>And, thus, the actual price you receive may vary. Apple clearly notes that the values \u200b\u200bwill change depending on the “condition, year, and configuration” of your device. If your iPhone is cracked or broken, it will reduce the value; Similarly, the M3 Max MacBook Pro will likely cost more than the M3 MacBook Pro. <\/p>\n You won’t really know what Apple is going to offer for your specific device until it tells 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 immediately apply your savings toward the purchase of a new device. But if it’s significantly lower than what you think it would be worth in another market, it may be worth trying to sell it elsewhere. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nApple’s new trade-in value<\/h2>\n
