CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The trade-in value isn't what it used to be for some iPhone models which means you'll now get less cash swapping in certain devices.
Let's take the iPhone 13 Pro Max model. According to MacRumors, that model will now have a trade-in value of up to $570, down from $650.
The iPhone 13 Pro will now have a trade-in value of up to $470 when it previously garnered up to $550, according to the same source.
There are certain iPhone models that haven't dropped in trade-in value. According to MacRumors, iPhone models 11 through 7 have all maintained their current value, at least for now.
When it comes to Macs, some values have actually gone up.
MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook and Mac mini models will now get you more money on trade-in. The biggest increase in that category is for the MacBook Pro: the trade-in value now sits at $670 versus its previous price of $630, according MacRumors.
Notice the trade-in value is described in terms of “up to” a certain dollar amount. That's because you'll only receive that top trade-in value if Apple decides your device is in good enough condition.
