its official trade-in values in the US, reducing the maximum amount customers can receive for most devices. The changes affect nearly every product category — including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches — with most drops averaging between 15% and 25%.
iPhone 13 Pro Maxexperienced a 27% price drop to $160. The iPhone 8 remains at the bottom of the list with a maximum of $40.On the tablet front, the iPad Air appears to have received a small bump, rising from $400 to $415. This, is likely a clerical error, since every other iPad model — including the iPad Mini and iPad Pro — saw reductions averaging 5–10%. In all likelihood, the iPad Air’s real maximum value remains around $400, consistent with the rest of the lineup.The situation isn’t much better for Mac owners. The iMac Pro saw one of the steepest drops, falling 37.7% from $385 to $240, while the standard iMac is down by $115. Even higher-end systems like the Mac Studio and MacBook Pro dropped slightly, losing between $10 and $110.Apple’s official trade-in chart briefly lists the Mac Pro at $2,520, a jump of nearly 360% from its previous value of $550 — a figure that’s almost certainly a typo, given that the Mac Pro’s resale value has never exceeded the $600–$700 range in prior updates. We’ll monitor whether Apple corrects this amount in the coming days.The Apple Watch lineup received the same treatment as the other products. The Series 10 experienced an 8.6% price drop to $160 while the Series 5 and Series 6 models decreased by $5 each. Only theApple makes periodic trade-in price updates based on used device market value changes and customer demand and refurbishment costs. While it’s common to see small fluctuations, this latest round represents one of the largest downward adjustments we've seen in recent years. For those planning to upgrade soon, it may be better to trade in before additional cuts arrive. Another option are third-party resellers, which often pay more than Apple’s conservative in-store estimates.Aleksandar is a tech enthusiast with a broad range of interests, from smartphones to space exploration.
