Apple reportedly working on anti-phone snatching security feature
The tech giant has run its trade-in program since 2013, which was launched in the same year as the iPhone 5s. With those 13-year-old phones no longer worth anything, Apple advises users to recycle them instead. However, if you have some of the latest equipment to trade in, you may be able to get a few dollars off on a new purchase.
As reported and compiled by MacRumors, all iPhone 16 models can now get you a deeper discount. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, Pro, and Plus have been given a $10 increase in their estimated trade-in value, from $685 to $695, $550 to $560, and $455 to $465, respectively. The trade-in price for the base iPhone 16 saw a huge $25 increase, from $435 to $460.

Trade-in prices for the iPad also increased, with the iPad Pro going from $670 to $690 ($20 increase), the iPad Air from $445 to $460 ($15 increase), the iPad from $220 to $235 ($15 increase), and the iPad Mini from $250 to $265 ($15 increase).
Other devices that will net you more than before include the MacBook Pro ($5 increase from $685 to $690), MacBook Air ($35 increase from $485 to $520), and the Mac Mini ($35 increase from $340 to $375). Some Apple Watches also received adjustments, with both the Ultra 2 and Series 9 priced $10 more ($295 to $305 and $120 to $130).
However, it is not all good news. The trade-in value of some devices remains unchanged, like the iMac and the Apple Watch Series 10. Meanwhile, others have actually decreased, with the trade-in value of the Apple Watch Ultra dropping by $10, from $215 to $205. The Mac Pro, which had a starting price of $6000 in 2019, will now get you $2045 off at trade-in – $45 less than $2090. Apple has also reduced the trade-in value of several Android devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra ($230 to $200) and the Google Pixel 8 Pro ($170 to $165).
