Apple iPhone Trade-In Promotion Ends as Credit Values Lowered

As expected, Apple has ended its limited-time promotion that increased the trade-in values for select iPhone models in the United States when customers buy a new iPhone.

The two-week promotion officially came to a close on June 3, which means anyone trading in their existing iPhone 11 or newer today will get slightly less money knocked off the price of a new iPhone than they would have done the previous day. Some of the new values have been reproduced below, with the previous promotional values in brackets:

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to $630 (vs. $650)
  • iPhone 14 Pro: Up to $520 (vs. $530)
  • iPhone 14 Plus: Up to $420 (vs. $430)
  • iPhone 14: Up to $370 (vs. $380)
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max: Up to $450 (vs. $460)
  • iPhone 13 Pro: Up to $370 (vs. $380)
  • iPhone 13: Up to $300 (vs. $320)
  • iPhone 13 mini: Up to $270 (vs. $300)
  • iPhone SE (3rd generation): Up to $160 (vs. $170)

Trade-ins can be completed on Apple's website or at an Apple Store, and the credit can be applied towards the purchase of a new Apple product, or placed on an Apple gift card for later use. Apple's trade-in page offers a complete list of values for devices.

Does this make any difference to anyone? If money really matters I guess you sell it yourself on one of many platforms to make a more money. If you cannot be bothered, I suppose you go Apple trade-in, at a cost... If you make that decisions +/- $10 is not of much importance, presumably?

Poor trade in values return to their usual even poorer trade in values. So sad I makes that whole $20 boost I say, tongue firmly planted in cheek.

From a corporate standpoint, shouldn't Apple have really aggressive trade-in prices to get old hardware out of the ecosystem, keeping 'loyal' customers on a tighter upgrade cycle and encouraging potential buyers to get a new device because of 2nd hand scarcity?

Or is it simply that highly price-sensitive consumers either buy an eBay iPhone for $300 or get a cheapo Android phone?

Trade ins feel like such a scam to me, I always resell my old phones myself

Apple stuff always sells so easily (here at least) it makes no sense to go with trade ins

They only care about money so will give as little as possible
