Your Apple hardware just got a little less valuable as Apple has reduced the maximum trade-in values for Mac, iPhone, and iPad by as much as 16%.
With Apple Trade In, you can turn the device you have into the one you want. It’s easy to trade in your eligible device for credit toward your next purchase, or get an Apple Gift Card you can use anytime. If your device isn’t eligible for credit, Apple will recycle it for free. No matter the model or condition, Apple can turn it into something good for you, doing better for the planet.
Apple [on Tuesday] updated its iPhone trade-in site, dropping the maximum trade-in prices of almost all of its trade-in options. Trading in the iPhone 12 Pro Max, for example, will now net you $700, $90 less than it was worth [on Monday].
With Apple’s trade-in program, customers can send in their old devices and receive an Apple gift card that can be put toward the purchase of a new device. Apple regularly adjusts trade-in pricing…
Apple has also dropped trade-in prices for tablets and computers. For tablets, customers can now receive up to $550, down from a previous $580 maximum. For computers, Apple is offering up to $2720, down from $3240. Maximum trade-in prices have not changed from the Apple Watch and users can still receive up to $270.

The rich get richer
The ‘rich get richer’, is that the new ‘Let’s Go Brandon’?!?
Please don’t complain, the fact that Apple even offers a trade-in program is benefit of being in the ecosystem. It use to be that you just had to sell it yourself, pass it down, or trash it. As far as I’m concerned, whatever you get is free money.
It was my deep pleasure to one star this inane comment.
Looks like Apple is at it again, taking on the gravy train on this one, trying to maintain profit margin. Of course Apple wants to have big take on trade-ins. I thought all these Apple trade-ins go to their exclusive 3rd party reseller (what’s their name?). Apple’s trade-in prices are very low and it is far better selling it on market such as E-Bay, Kijiji or Craiglist or whatever. It’s easy to sell iPhone at much higher price. I used to sell my iPhone every year and it worked quite well and fast, until they came up with “Face” ID when I stopped annual upgrade. It’s an easy money for Apple, sorta like a reverse way of Apple getting easy profit by attaching exorbitant price for each step-up of storage capacity. But hey, it’s a business. They can do anything they want as long as the product sells. But it wasn’t quite like that in yesteryears….
