But to its credit, the Cupertino-based tech giant has a habit of revising the trade-in discounts its US customers can get through the company’s official retail channels once every few months or so, and more often than not, these changes are made to benefit buyers looking to rid themselves of older “iDevices.”
Here are the iPhone and iPad deals getting better and better
- iPhone 11 Pro Max – $515 maximum trade-in value (was $500)
- iPhone 11 Pro – $465 (was $450)
- iPhone 11 – $380 (was $360)
- iPhone 6s Plus – $75 (was $60)
- iPad Pro – $580 (was $525)
- iPad Air $275 (was $250)
- iPad mini $215 (up from $205)
No, none of these discounts have been drastically improved in the last four months or so. And yes, you still need to trade in a fully functional device, with an undamaged touchscreen and back glass, working buttons and cameras, as well as no visible dents or scratches on the body, to get the numbers listed above slashed off the regular price of a new iPhone or iPad or on a gift card that you can use at a later time.
These trade-in deals are actually getting worse
- iPad – $235 (was $240)
- Apple Watch Series 4 – $135 (was $150)
- Apple Watch Series 3 – $85 (was $95)
You can also trade in a bunch of Android devices (but you probably shouldn’t)
- Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus – $305 (was $360)
- Galaxy S20 – $230 (down from $255)
- Galaxy S10 Plus – $250 (was $230)
- Galaxy Note 10 – $260 (was $285)
- Google Pixel 4 XL- $200 (was $260)
- Pixel 4 – $170 (was $215)
- Pixel 3 XL – $80 (was $100)
- Pixel 3 – $65 (was $80)
