Apple offers a great trade-in value for older iPhones as well as Android devices. And for a long time, buyers have been benefiting from this trade-in program from Apple. However, now it looks like, Apple has made some significant changes when it comes to the trade-in value, as MacRumors has reported that Apple has officially lowered the trade-in values for Android devices.
As per the report, starting from today, Apple has lowered the estimated exchange value for Android smartphones. Not just that, Apple has also lowered the value for a few old iPads and MacBooks.
On the Apple official website, Apple has been listing out the highest possible amount a buyer can get discounted when he or she trades his old Apple or Android phone. By highest value, we mean the maximum possible exchange value, which in the end varies depending on the condition of your device. However, today, the publication has noticed these highest trade-in values to be slightly lower than usual. This seems to be a silent move from Apple.
Following are some of the new trade-in values. The left indicates the current values while in the bracket you can see the previous value.
