Apple Adjusts Trade-In Values: What’s New?
Apple has officially adjusted trade-in values for iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch, and select Android devices. Many models now offer slightly reduced payouts, although the iPad Air saw a small increase. Apple also confirmed that 12-inch MacBook models are no longer accepted.
If you’re planning to upgrade to a newer Apple device in 2025, here’s what the new changes mean—and how they affect the value of your old device.
Which iPhones Are Affected by Apple Adjusts Trade-In Values?
Most iPhones saw a slight value drop. The latest iPhone 16 Pro Max can be traded in for up to $670, down from $700. Older phones like the iPhone 15 lineup took even sharper declines, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max dropping from up to $630 to $470.
Good news? The iPhone SE (2022) stays the same.
These changes suggest Apple is keeping trade-ins competitive while pushing users toward newer models.
Apple Adjusts Trade-In Values for iPads & Macs: Any Increases?
The iPad Air is the only iPad with a bump—now up to $415.
Meanwhile, most Mac models dropped in value, especially older iMacs and Mac Studios. Shockingly, the Mac Pro rose to $2,520 (likely a typo), while the 12-inch MacBook is no longer accepted.
If you’re sitting on an iPad Air, this may be the best time to trade in.
What About Apple Watch as Apple Adjusts Trade-In Values?
Trade-in payouts for the Apple Watch dipped slightly.
The Apple Watch Series 10 now offers up to $160, while previous generations fell by $5–$10.
The Ultra 2 remains unchanged at $335, still the highest Apple Watch payout.
