Apple boosts the trade-in worth of various iPhone iterations in anticipation of the forthcoming iPhone 15 debut.

July 5, 2023:- Apple has proactively adjusted the maximum trade-in values for older Pro iPhone models, foreseeing the upcoming launch of the iPhone 15 in September. Simultaneously, a decrease in the maximum trade-in values has been observed for other phones, specifically the older iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini models.

The modifications, accessible for verification on Apple's official website, primarily impact the Pro models. Conversely, non-Pro and compact models, such as the iPhone 12 mini, observe reductions (from $220 to $200) or marginal increases. The iPhone 13 mini maintains its value of $330 in the US and experiences a modest rise from £335 to £340 in the UK. Similarly, the value of the 2020 iPhone SE undergoes a decrease from $100 to $90, while the value of the 2020 iPhone SE remains unchanged at $160. Here is the comprehensive breakdown of the updated pricing:

Conversely, the trade-in values of premium models such as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max, and 13 Pro Max have been elevated. This adjustment by Apple likely targets customers in pursuit of higher-value devices and the utmost superior iPhones. Notably, the UK market witnesses the most significant increases, with the iPhone 13 Pro Max climbing from £590 to £640, while the 12 Pro escalates from £350 to £420.

A paragon of value

Apple's iPhones have gained a reputation for maintaining their value over extended periods, making them a compelling option for customers inclined towards long-term device retention rather than frequent upgrades. By offering a guaranteed maximum trade-in value, users can confidently utilize an iPhone for three or four years, secure in the knowledge that they can leverage their device's worth when the time arises to transition to a newer model.

As the much-anticipated unveiling of the Apple iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro approaches in September, customers can seize the opportunity to leverage these advantageous trade-in values. Moreover, this opportunity extends to those seeking to capitalize on the reduced prices of older or refurbished models offered by Apple.
