Apple raises trade-in values across multiple lineups by up to 30%

Apple has updated its trade-in program, increasing the credit offered on most iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models in the US, with some devices seeing gains of close to 30%. The company also expanded eligibility to more Android devices, including several Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and OnePlus models.

Mac models see some of the largest jumps. The MacBook Pro trade-in value rises to $855, up from $690, while the Mac Studio increases to $1,305 from $1,045. The Mac mini rises to $480 from $375, and the MacBook Air climbs to $580 from $520.

For iPhones, older Pro models get notable boosts. The iPhone 16 Pro now trades in for up to $630, up from $560, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max rises to $530 from $490. Entry-level and older models see smaller, more incremental increases, with a handful, like the iPhone 16e and iPhone X, remaining unchanged.

iPad values also rise across the board, with the iPad Pro reaching $720 (up from $690) and the iPad mini increasing to $300 from $265. Apple Watch models see modest gains, led by the Series 10 at $165, up from $150.

Apple has not disclosed the reasoning behind the broad increase, but the timing coincides with an ongoing global memory shortage that has pushed DRAM contract prices up sharply through 2026. The changes also come as rising DRAM and NAND costs drive up prices for both new and used devices industry-wide. Apple notes that final trade-in values depend on device condition and that not all devices qualify for credit.

The updated table applies as of August 6, 2026.
