When that time comes, it helps to get some money for your old device to offset the cost of a new one\u2014especially when that new device is from Apple, whose products tend to hold their value well. <\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking of trading in your old Apple product for a new one, there&#8217;s some good news: Apple just increased its trade-in estimates on a number of devices (while, at the same time, lowering the estimates on others.) <\/p>\n<p>As reported by MacRumors, Apple updated its trade-in values for the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch devices on Wednesday. The company lists the values for all of the devices that it accepts for trade-in on its official Apple Trade In website. While you can&#8217;t trade in every device, the company does accept trade-ins for for products from as far back as 2017. While you won&#8217;t get too much these days for an iPhone 8 (up to $35) or an Apple Watch SE (up to $30), quite a few old devices are worth more in trade-in value today than they were yesterday. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"apples-new-trade-in-values\">Apple&#8217;s new trade-in values<\/h2>\n<p>At this time, Apple appears to have mostly changed the values of the latest models of these device categories\u2014and mostly for the better. While Apple doesn&#8217;t note the price changes itself, MacRumors has compiled all previous values, which I&#8217;ve noted alongside the new estimates here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/strong>: $695 (was $685)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPhone 16 Pro<\/strong>: $560 (was $550) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPhone 16 Plus<\/strong>: $465 (was $455)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPhone 16<\/strong>: $460 (was $435)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad Pro<\/strong>: $690 (was $670)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad Air<\/strong>: $460 (was $445)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad<\/strong>: $235 (was $220)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad mini<\/strong>: $265 (was $250)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>MacBook Pro<\/strong>: $690 (was $685)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>MacBook Air<\/strong>: $520 (was $485)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Mac mini<\/strong>: $375 (was $340)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iMac<\/strong>: $355 (unchanged) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Apple Watch Ultra 2<\/strong>: $305 (was $295)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Apple Watch Series 9<\/strong>: $130 (was $120)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Apple Watch Series 10<\/strong>: $150 (unchanged)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Apple Watch Ultra<\/strong>: $205 (was $215)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apple even adjusted the trade-in prices for non-Apple devices, including some Android phones.
