I'm sorry but the trade-in values are still extremely weak. Especially for the Macs.

Recent Mac trade in values continue to be absurd.

Though this should be good news, all it does is demonstrate a lack of integrity. If Apple was serious about their environmental credentials, they would be doing more to entice users to trade-in.

They (Apple) no doubt fell the pressure lately surrounding the concern of trade-in values, and have responded to that rather than providing a fair price in the first place. And this is still worser value than the previous price changes.

$1,250 for a Mac Pro. That’s hilarious. Imagine paying $20,000 or even $50,000 for your Mac Pro and only getting $1,250.

All jokes aside, $600 for a 13 Pro Max is actually solid. Not going to lie. Wish MacBook Pro was up to $1,000+. Can’t win them all
