If you’re looking to trade in your old one, you’ll likely get a better deal today than you did yesterday. The first week of March saw discount values rise and fall across Apple’s Mac range, as well as its iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch ranges. For example, trade-in values for MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and Apple Watch SE 1 have increased, while trade-in values for entry-level iPads, Apple Watch Ultra, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro have decreased slightly.
What’s the new trade-in value?
These trade-in value adjustments aren’t huge — more like $10 here or there — but they still help lower the price of your brand-new gadget. Here are the new price changes:
-
iPhone 14 Pro Max — Up to $630 (was $620)
-
iPhone SE 2 — Up to $90 (up from $70)

Why do trade-in values change?
The change in trade-in values may be due to the recent release of the M3 MacBook Air (and the subsequent price reduction of the M2 MacBook Air), as well as rumors of the upcoming release of new iPad Pro and iPad Air devices. As far as iPhones are concerned, there are still about six months until the new iPhone 16 is released. However, the new iOS 17.4 update may make older iPhones obsolete. With slightly higher trade-in values on some devices, Apple may be able to tempt those who own older devices to switch to new and improved ones. Although Apple did not clearly explain the reason, it is likely to be related to increased sales. However, it’s not uncommon for these values to fluctuate within the Apple Store.
How does Apple trade-in work?
Apple’s trade-in program is one of the best ways to save money on new devices. Not to mention, it’s environmentally responsible. With Apple Trade-in, you can recycle your old device and trade it into a brand new device. If you’re not in the market for a new device yet, you can also put your points toward an Apple gift card for later use. Values will vary based on a variety of factors – your device’s age, device condition, carrier information, etc. Apple’s trade-in page provides more information about device eligibility, trade-in value, and answers to other frequently asked questions.
