How much is my iPhone worth in Apple's trade-in programme now?

The current US maximums run to $720 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max and $630 for an iPhone 16 Pro, with older models such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max quoted at up to $405. Those are ceilings rather than guaranteed offers. The amount you are actually paid depends on the storage tier and the physical condition Apple verifies after receiving the device.

Do these new trade-in values apply outside the United States?

No. The figures in this revision are the ones Apple publishes for the US in US dollars. Apple operates trade-in in many other markets, but each has its own schedule, and this update does not indicate what has changed in them. Check the amount shown for your own country before planning around a number.

Can I trade in an Android phone at Apple?

Yes, when you are buying an iPhone. Apple accepts a range of Samsung, Google and OnePlus handsets, and this revision added newer models including the Pixel 9 Pro XL at up to $315 and the OnePlus 13 at up to $250. Devices with no credit value can still be handed in for free recycling.

When did Apple last change its trade-in values?

The previous revision was in May 2026. Apple adjusts the schedule periodically rather than on a fixed calendar, so values can move in either direction between updates. Some older Android estimates went down slightly in this round even as most Apple hardware went up.

Is trading in with Apple better than selling privately?

It depends on what you value. Apple's credit is immediate and applies straight to a new purchase, with no listing, shipping or buyer disputes to manage. A private sale usually fetches more money for a device in good condition, so the trade-in premium you are giving up is essentially the price of convenience.

Apple Raises US Trade-In Values for iPhone, Mac and iPad

Where the increases landed

The Mac range saw the biggest percentage movement. The Mac mini climbed to a maximum estimate of $480, up from $375, and the Mac Studio moved to $1,305 from $1,045. MacBook Pro estimates rose by as much as $165, to a top figure of $855.

iPhone estimates went up across most of the lineup. The iPhone 16 Pro Max now tops out at $720, against $695 in the previous schedule, and the iPhone 16 Pro rose by $70 to $630. Older hardware moved too, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max gaining $30 to reach $405.

Every current iPad model gained value. The iPad Pro is now quoted at up to $720, from $690, and the iPad mini at $300, from $265. On the wrist, Apple Watch Series 10 moved to $165 from $150 and Series 9 to $135 from $130 — modest changes compared with the Mac line, but increases all the same.

Android phones are on the list too

Apple accepts non-Apple phones for credit when you are buying an iPhone, and this revision brings that list closer to current. Newer Samsung, Google and OnePlus handsets were added for the first time, including the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at up to $315 and the OnePlus 13 at up to $250.

Not everything moved upward. A handful of older Android estimates slipped, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra dropping by $5. That is the normal direction of travel for ageing hardware, and it is worth checking your own model rather than assuming the general trend applies to it.

These are US figures, and they are estimates

Two caveats matter more than the headline numbers. First, the values above are the ones published for the United States in US dollars. Apple runs trade-in in many other countries, but the amounts differ market by market and this revision does not tell you what has changed elsewhere — check the figure quoted on Apple's site for your own country.

Second, every number is a maximum. Apple states plainly that what you actually receive depends on the device, model, manufacturer and condition, and that some devices carry no credit at all and are accepted only for recycling. A cracked display, a degraded battery or a lower storage configuration will pull the offer below the advertised ceiling.

How to check what your device is worth

Open Apple's trade-in page and pick your country before reading any figure.
Select the exact model and storage tier — the gap between configurations is often larger than the increase announced here.
Answer the condition questions honestly. The quote is provisional until Apple receives and inspects the device.
Compare against a private sale. Trade-in is convenient and instant, but it rarely beats the open market on price.

Why now

The timing is not accidental. Apple is expected to introduce new iPhones in September, and higher trade-in credit lowers the visible upgrade cost at exactly the moment buyers start weighing one. That matters more than usual this year, given reports that memory costs could push iPhone 18 Pro pricing up. A larger credit against an older handset softens some of that increase without Apple touching a sticker price.

Trade-in is also only one of the levers Apple has been adjusting on how people pay for hardware, alongside its recent changes to how the iPhone Upgrade Programme is financed in the US. If you were already planning to hand in an old device this year, the revised numbers are straightforwardly good news. If you were not, they are not a reason on their own to upgrade — the credit still comes out of a device you own outright.
