The iPhone 18 Pro costs more — and your old iPhone is worth less

Apple lowered trade-in values for every older iPhone following its September event. See how much the iPhone 16, iPhone 15, and other models are now worth.

The iPhone 18 Pro costs more — and your old iPhone is worth less

Apple announced the release of the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Duo, both priced at $1,199 and $1,999 respectively. Unfortunately, these new models come with a catch for those looking to trade in their older phones. Apple has revised its trade-in program and reduced the maximum trade-in values for many previously eligible iPhone models.

An iPhone 16 Pro Max, once worth up to $720, is now only worth up to $610, while the iPhone 16 Pro has dropped from $630 to $510. This significant depreciation is particularly notable because Apple had increased trade-in values for these devices just a month prior. Other affected models include the iPhone 15 Pro Max, now worth up to $455, down from $530, and the iPhone 15 Pro, falling from $420 to $370.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro trade-in values have also decreased to $360 and $285, respectively. While Apple added the iPhone 17 lineup to its trade-in program, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max now eligible for up to $885, the reductions in trade-in values have left many consumers feeling the impact of Apple's latest pricing strategy.
