Apple sweetens trade-in values for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even some Android phones

Apple plans to announce the iPhone 18 Pro lineup soon and has increased trade-in values for iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch, and some Android phones in the United States. Most iPhone models saw their trade-in value increase compared to the last update in May, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max topping the list at up to $720. The Mac mini, Mac Studio, and MacBook Pro also experienced notable value increases, with the Mac mini's value rising by nearly 30 percent.

Apple added Samsung, Google, and OnePlus devices, including the Pixel 9 series and OnePlus 13, to its trade-in program. However, older models experienced slight dips in estimates. These trade-in values are estimates, and the final offer depends on the device's condition and configuration. With the iPhone 18 Pro expected to launch within weeks, this is the best time to take advantage of the current trade-in values.

One Database Can't Hold Everything: Learn Database Sharding

This is Part 9 of my "From One User to One Million" series, where we'll build an understanding of System Design by following a simple application as it grows from a single user to millions. Instead of memorising technologies, we'll learn why they exist by solving real problems as they appear. Look at what we've built so far.
