Apple has a popular trade-in program that gives customers a certain amount of credit off the purchase of a new iPhone based on which model they hand in and its condition.

Apple trade-in value for iPhone is decent. For Watch, on the other hand, not so much.

Also, if you usually buy lower storage iPhone (128 or 256), then Apple trade-in is beneficial because they disregard storage.
By contrast, if you usually buy higher storage iPhone (512 or 1024), then Apple trade-in is less beneficial.

But the biggest benefit of Apple trade-in is your peace of mind, no scams, no fraud, no stress. You know you're in good hands.

Was wondering if I should use the trade-in program for my XS Max or try to sell it myself. EBay prices look to be in the $240-$370 range vs Apple’s $210 offer.

Don’t think the extra money is worth the hassle of dealing with flaky people or trying to ship it in person.
Take it from someone who has dealt with eBay scammers before, eBay isn't worth it. You can do everything right and eBay will still side with the scamming buyer.

Just sell it on whatever marketplace is the most popular in your country. 2nd value is very high for Apple products.

Apple pays peanuts.

Carriers usually have the best deals. Last year, I bought a used 6S for $30, and traded it in for $600. :cool:
