Apple massively increases trade-in values for iPads and Macs. See the list.

Apple has recently boosted the trade-in values for older iPads and Macs, as reported by MacRumors. This comes amidst the company's launch of new iPad mini, M6 MacBook Pro, and M6 iMac devices. The move appears to be aimed at enticing customers to trade in their old devices for a higher return when purchasing new ones. However, Apple has not explicitly confirmed if attracting more sales was a factor in the increased trade-in offers.

For Mac users, the largest trade-in value increases were seen in MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro models. Specifically, MacBook Pro trade-in values rose from up to $1,315 to up to $1,435, while MacBook Air values increased from up to $705 to up to $795. iMac trade-in values were raised from up to $385 to up to $440, and Mac mini values climbed from up to $620 to up to $645.

Similarly, Mac Studio values went up from up to $1,460 to up to $1,700, and Mac Pro values increased from up to $2,195 to up to $2,560. The iMac Pro model did not see a change in its maximum trade-in value of $340.

As for iPads, the trade-in values saw a smaller increase compared to Macs. Still, there was a notable rise. The iPad trade-in value went from up to $280 to up to $300. Similarly, iPad mini values increased from up to $320 to up to $340, iPad Air values rose from up to $510 to up to $525, and iPad Pro values climbed from up to $905 to up to $915.

In summary, while the trade-in value increases for iPads were less substantial than those for Macs, they still provide a more lucrative option for users looking to trade in their older devices. However, Apple's trade-in program primarily serves to provide convenience rather than maximize the payout, as other resale marketplaces may offer higher prices for traded-in devices.
