  "account": "Apple has raised its U.S. trade-in estimates for iPads and Macs, with the most significant increases seen in the Mac lineup. Every iPad category now offers a higher trade-in value, although the gains are modest. The iPad mini and standard iPad both see a $20 increase, while the iPad Air gains $15 and the iPad Pro increases by $10. For Macs, the Mac Pro has the most substantial boost at $365, while the Mac Studio rises by $240. The MacBook Pro and MacBook Air see $120 and $90 increases, respectively. The iMac Pro remains unchanged at up to $340. All iPhone and Apple Watch trade-in estimates continue to use the September values.

These values can be applied toward a new purchase or added to an Apple Gift Card.",
