Apple today updated its U.S. trade-in estimates, raising values for most current iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models while reducing several Android offers.

The headline iPhone trade-in figure rises from $685 to $695, with every iPhone 16 model gaining value:

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max : $685 to $695

  • iPhone 16 Pro : $550 to $560

  • iPhone 16 Plus : $455 to $465

  • iPhone 16 : $435 to $460

Every current ‌iPad‌ also gains value, with the headline range shifting from $40 to $670 up to $45 to $690:

  • iPad Pro : $670 to $690

  • iPad Air : $445 to $460

  • iPad : $220 to $235

  • iPad mini : $250 to $265

Mac changes are mixed, with most current models gaining value:

  • MacBook Pro : $685 to $690

  • MacBook Air : $485 to $520

  • Mac mini : $340 to $375

  • iMac : Unchanged at $355

Despite those increases, the top of Apple's Mac trade-in range slips from $2,090 to $2,045, suggesting a reduction for a higher-end model not shown in Apple's summary table, such as the Mac Pro or Mac Studio. The Apple Watch lineup also gets a mix of revisions:

  • Apple Watch Ultra 2 : $295 to $305

  • Apple Watch Series 9 : $120 to $130

  • Apple Watch Series 10 : Unchanged at $150

  • Apple Watch Ultra : $215 to $205

Android trade-in offers have largely been cut, with the headline range narrowing from $30 to $370 down to $30 to $360:

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra : $230 to $200

  • Google Pixel 8 Pro : $170 to $165

  • Samsung Galaxy S23 : Unchanged at $125

  • OnePlus 12 : Unchanged at $200

All Apple-listed values are estimates, with final offers determined after the device is received and inspected. Customers can apply trade-in credit toward a new purchase or receive the value as an Apple Gift Card, and Apple will recycle ineligible devices for free.
