Apple has updated its U.S. trade-in estimates, cutting values for every eligible iPhone while raising them across the iPad and Mac lineups.
The refresh follows the announcement of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo. Their predecessors now appear on Apple’s trade-in list for the first time, led by the iPhone 17 Pro Max at up to $885. The iPhone Air is valued at $585, exactly the same as the standard iPhone 17, despite having launched at a $200 higher price:
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: $885
- iPhone 17 Pro: $785
- iPhone Air: $585
- iPhone 17: $585
The update is also the first to run under Apple’s new condition grading system, which is now live. Devices with minor cosmetic defects such as small chips in the display glass were previously treated much like those with far more serious damage, resulting in a similarly steep cut to their value. As we reported last week, Apple now applies more granular tiers that better reflect a device’s actual condition, and no device receives less than it would have under the old system.
Every other iPhone on the list lost value. The iPhone 16 Pro saw the steepest cut in percentage terms at 19%, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max lost the most in absolute terms, falling $110 barely a month after Apple raised it to $720:
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: $720 to $610
- iPhone 16 Pro: $630 to $510
- iPhone 16 Plus: $485 to $430
- iPhone 16: $480 to $430
- iPhone 16e: $310 to $270
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: $530 to $455
- iPhone 15 Pro: $420 to $370
- iPhone 15 Plus: $340 to $315
- iPhone 15: $335 to $305
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: $405 to $360
- iPhone 14 Pro: $335 to $285
- iPhone 14 Plus: $235 to $210
- iPhone 14: $235 to $195
- iPhone SE (3rd generation): $85 to $75
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: $340 to $320
- iPhone 13 Pro: $285 to $255
- iPhone 13: $205 to $175
- iPhone 13 mini: $155 to $145
- iPhone 12 Pro Max: $240 to $210
- iPhone 12 Pro: $195 to $165
- iPhone 12: $135 to $120
- iPhone 12 mini: $90 to $80
- iPhone SE (2nd generation): $45 to $40
- iPhone 11 Pro Max: $160 to $140
- iPhone 11 Pro: $145 to $125
- iPhone 11: $110 to $100
- iPhone XS Max: $95 to $85
- iPhone XS: $70 to $60
- iPhone XR: $90 to $75
- iPhone X: $60 to $50
- iPhone 8 Plus: $40 to $35
The Apple Watch followed the same pattern. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 joins at $430, well clear of any other watch Apple accepts, with the Apple Watch Series 11 at $200 and the Apple Watch SE (3rd generation) at $115. Only the two older Apple Watch SE models held their value, at $60 and $30 respectively:
- Apple Watch Ultra 2: $305 to $265
- Apple Watch Ultra: $205 to $190
- Apple Watch Series 10: $165 to $150
- Apple Watch Series 9: $135 to $115
- Apple Watch Series 8: $95 to $90
- Apple Watch Series 7: $70 to $65
- Apple Watch Series 6: $45 to $40
The iPad and the Mac moved decisively the other way, with every model gaining value. The iPad Pro climbed almost 26%:
- iPad Pro: $720 to $905
- iPad Air: $490 to $510
- iPad mini: $300 to $320
- iPad: $260 to $280
The Mac saw the largest increases anywhere in the update, continuing a run that has nearly doubled some trade-in estimates since the spring. The MacBook Pro has risen from $690 in May to $1,315 today, while the Mac mini is up 65% over the same period of time:
- MacBook Pro: $855 to $1,315
- MacBook Air: $580 to $705
- Mac mini: $480 to $620
- Mac Studio: $1,305 to $1,460
- iMac Pro: $315 to $340
- iMac: $380 to $385
The Mac Pro was the only Mac left untouched, holding at $2,195 and keeping the top of Apple’s trade-in range where it has sat since August.
Android estimates were largely static, with four small reductions and a single increase for the Google Pixel 7:
- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: $315 to $290
- Google Pixel 9 Pro: $305 to $275
- Google Pixel 9: $210 to $200
- Google Pixel 8 Pro: $155 to $150
- Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G: $85 to $80
- Samsung Galaxy S22 5G: $85 to $80
- Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G: $75 to $70
- Google Pixel 7: $60 to $65
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, Google Pixel 8, Google Pixel 8a, Google Pixel 7 Pro, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, OnePlus 12, and OnePlus 12R all held at the same trade-in prices.
As always, Apple’s listed values are estimates, with the company noting that final offers can vary based on a device’s condition and configuration, and that not all devices are eligible for trade-in credit.
