In the aftermath of Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event, the company has once again revised its trade-in values for various devices, this time opting to reduce payouts for iPhones while simultaneously elevating them for iPads and most Macs. These adjustments come just a month after Apple had previously increased trade-in values across its product range.
Trade-in values for iPhones have experienced a downward trend, with the maximum payout for each returning model now being lower by as much as $120 compared to the previous rates. This shift contrasts with the substantial increases observed in the trade-in values of iPads and Macs during the last update, with certain models even experiencing jumps of nearly 30%.
Additionally, Apple has maintained an overall increase in trade-in values for the entire range of iPad models and for all Macs, excluding the high-end Mac Pro. As for Apple Watch and Android devices, trade-in values are largely lower or unchanged, reflecting the company's strategic adjustments.
Apple's revised trade-in values, effective as of September 9, 2026, are now available, emphasizing the "up to" values for each device category. For a comprehensive overview of Apple's "Surprise and Shine" event, readers are directed to 9to5Mac's extensive coverage.
