If you were planning on trading in an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch anytime soon, I have some bad news.
As it has been known to do at various points throughout history, Apple has just lowered the value of all its trade-ins, with MacRumors reporting an average drop of around 20%. In other words, the old devices you have rattling around the back of your cabinets aren't worth as much anymore — not to Apple, anyway.
Apple trade-ins — what are they worth now?
iPhone trade-in prices
iPhone | New trade-in price | Old trade-in price | Difference |
iPhone 16 Pro Max | $670 | $700 | $30 |
iPhone 16 Pro | $550 | $580 | $30 |
iPhone 16 Plus | $450 | $470 | $20 |
iPhone 16 | $430 | $450 | $20 |
iPhone 15 Pro Max | $470 | $630 | $160 |
iPhone 15 Pro | $400 | $500 | $100 |
iPhone 15 Plus | $330 | $440 | $110 |
iPhone 15 | $310 | $400 | $90 |
iPhone 14 Pro Max | $370 | $455 | $85 |
iPhone 14 Pro | $300 | $380 | $80 |
iPhone 14 Plus | $240 | $300 | $60 |
iPhone 14 | $220 | $290 | $70 |
iPhone SE 3 | $80 | $100 | $20 |
Older iPhones are still eligible for trade-in, going back as far as the iPhone 8, though the older the device, the less it's worth. An iPhone 8, for example, is now only worth $40 — down from $45.
Naturally, newer devices, like iPhone 16e and the iPhone 17 series, are currently ineligible for trade-in. Because what would you buy?
iPad trade-in prices
iPad | New trade-in price | Old trade-in price | Difference |
iPad Pro | $695 | $695 | $0 |
iPad Air | $415 | $400 | +$15 |
iPad mini | $255 | $275 | $20 |
iPad | $175 | $190 | $15 |
MacBook trade-in prices
Mac | New trade-in price | Old trade-in price | Difference |
MacBook Pro | $760 | $770 | $10 |
MacBook Air | $540 | $550 | $10 |
MacBook | N/A | $190 | Row 3 - Cell 3 |
iMac | $375 | $490 | $115 |
iMac Pro | $240 | $385 | $145 |
Mac mini | $380 | $395 | $15 |
Mac Studio | $1,030 | $1,140 | $110 |
Mac Pro | $2,520* | $550 | +$1,970 |
The obvious elephant in the room is that the Mac Pro's trade-in value has skyrocketed by almost $2,000. Which... doesn't seem like it should be the case?
Even if Apple were trying to reclaim these machines for whatever reason, it's unlikely it would be offering quite so much. So we suspect this is a typo for the time being.
Apple Watch trade-in prices
Apple Watch | New trade-in price | Old trade-in price | Difference |
Apple Watch 10 | $160 | $175 | $15 |
Apple Watch Ultra 2 | $335 | $335 | $0 |
Apple Watch 9 | $125 | $130 | $5 |
Apple Watch Ultra | $245 | $255 | $10 |
Apple Watch 8 | $95 | $100 | $5 |
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) | $60 | $60 | $0 |
