Apple trade-in values: Some Macs, iPhones and Apple Watches are now worth more money

If you’re looking to trade in an old Apple device, there’s a good chance you’ll get more today than yesterday. The first week of March saw trade-in values ​​for Apple’s Mac line, as well as its iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch lines, rise and fall. Trade-in values ​​for MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, iPhone 14 Pro Max and Apple Watch SE 1 have climbed, for example, while exchange values down slightly for the entry-level iPad, Apple Watch Ultra, Mac Mini and Mac Pro.

What are the new trade-in values?

These trade-in value adjustments aren’t massive – more like $10 here or there – but they’ll still help bring down the price of your brand new gadget. Here are the new price changes:

• iPhone 14 Pro Max — Up to $630 (was $620)

• iPhone SE2 — Up to $90 (was $70)

• iPad — Up to $250 (was $260)

• Apple Watch Ultra Up to $365 (was $390)

• Apple Watch series 7 — Up to $145 (was $155)

• Apple Watch series 4 — Up to $70 (was $60)

• Apple Watch SE2 — Up to $120 (was $125)

• Apple Watch SE1 — Up to $95 (was $90)

• Macbook Pro – Up to $1,000 (instead of $990)

• MacBook Air – Up to $550 (No change)

• Macbook – Up to $160 (instead of $150)

• iMac – Up to $440 (No change)

• iMac Pro – Up to $500 (No change)

• Mac-mini – Up to $400 (instead of $410)

• Mac Studio – Up to $1,315 (instead of $1,070)

• Mac Pro – Up to $800 (instead of $900)

Why have trade-in values ​​changed?

The trade-in value changes are likely due to the recent release of the MacBook Air M3 (and the subsequent price drop of the MacBook Air M2), as well as rumors of new iPad Pro and iPad Air devices being released soon. As for iPhones, we are still about six months away from the release of the new iPhone 16. However, the new iOS 17.4 update could make older iPhones obsolete. With slightly higher trade-in values ​​on some devices, Apple could potentially incentivize those with older devices to upgrade to something new and improved. Although Apple hasn’t explicitly explained the reasoning, there’s a good chance it has to do with increased sales. However, it is not uncommon for these values ​​to fluctuate on the Apple Store.

How does Apple Exchange work?

Apple’s trade-in program is one of the best ways to save money on a new device. Not to mention that it is environmentally friendly. With Apple Trade In, you recycle your old device and credit it for a brand new one. If you’re not yet in the market for a new device, you can also put the credit on an Apple gift card for later use. Values ​​vary depending on a number of factors: the age of your device, its condition, carrier information, etc. Applethe exchange page offers more information on device eligibility, trade-in values ​​and other FAQs.
