Apple increases trade-in offers and adds new Android devices
Apple has updated its trade-in program, increasing credit values for several Mac and Apple devices while adding support for specific Android models. However, the company also lowered trade-in values for some older Google Pixel and Samsung devices.
Why it matters
Adjustments to trade-in values serve as a strategic lever for Apple to encourage hardware upgrades and capture market share from Android users.
Apple bumped up its trade-in offers for iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and certain Android phones, with some devices now worth over $100 more, 9to5Mac reports. The Mac Studio’s trade-in value increased the most, going up by $260. While some devices’ offers are unchanged, most got an increase of around $5 to $20, with a few seeing an increase of over $100:
