Apple is enhancing the affordability of the forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro, with its release scheduled for September 18. The device will carry a starting price of $1,199. To assist customers, Apple has recently improved its trade-in values for the second time this year.
New trade-in incentives are available through partners like AT&T and T-Mobile, potentially offering up to $1,200 in credits for trading in an iPhone 14 or later model. For those trading directly with Apple, the maximum trade-in value is capped at $885. Apple has also increased trade-in values for older iPhone models, including the iPhone 16 and 15 series.
Before trading in an old device, users are advised to back up data, unpair devices like AirPods and Apple Watch, sign out of services such as iCloud and Messages, and finally, erase all content and settings. Removing the SIM card is also recommended for older models.
Several platforms offer options for selling or trading in devices, including Apple Trade In, Best Buy, eBay, GameStop, Swappa, and uSell. Trade-in values vary significantly across these platforms.
