Apple Cuts Trade-In Maximums Across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch

Most published maximums dropped about 20% in Apple’s latest U.S. trade-in update.

Overview

  • The revised values are live on Apple’s U.S. website and apply to in‑store trade-ins under the program’s terms.
  • Average reductions hover around 20% across categories, with many recent iPhones receiving notable cuts.
  • The iPhone 15 Pro Max maximum fell to $470 from $630, highlighting the scale of the changes.
  • The iPad Air received a modest increase, and Apple stopped accepting the 12‑inch MacBook for trade-ins.
  • Reporters flagged the newly listed $2,520 Mac Pro maximum as likely erroneous based on prior figures, and Apple also adjusted allowances for select Android phones.
