Apple increases trade-in valuations of some iPhone models and other devices

Apple has announced an increase in the trade-in values of some older iPhone models, as well as select iPad and Apple Watch models. The new trade-in values can be found on the online Apple Store homepage. The increased values make it more attractive for customers to upgrade to the latest Apple devices while keeping their purchase price down. However, we must warn that the increase in trade-in values may vary by region. In addition, the company does not offer this option to users in a few countries such as Turkey.

Apple iPhone 13

To give an example of a price increase, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has been given a $30 or 5.3% boost, with a trade-in valuation of up to $600. The 13 Pro also received a $30 increase, taking its value up to $500. The iPhone 12 Pro Max from 2020 is now worth up to $420 in a trade-in, which is $20 (or 5%) higher than its previous value. The iPhone 7 Plus, which was released in 2016, has received a 20% boost in its trade-in value, now generating as much as $60 in value.

In addition to iPhones, Apple has also increased the trade-in value of select iPad and Apple Watch models. TThis is due to the economic crisis affecting the whole world and the indirect inflation increase.
