Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple will soon boost the credit paid for older iPhones when customers buy an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The offer does not apply to other devices in Apple's smartphone lineup, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone SE (4th generation).

Gurman did not mention the new values of old iPhones in its trade-in program, only that they will increase as of Monday, May 20, with the offer continuing through to Monday, June 3.

Apple currently offers the following credit values for older iPhones as part of its trade-in program:

  • iPhone SE (3rd generation): Up to $160
  • iPhone 13 mini: Up to $270
  • iPhone 13: Up to $300
  • iPhone 13 Pro: Up to $370
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max: Up to $450
  • iPhone 14: Up to $370
  • iPhone 14 Plus: Up to $420
  • iPhone 14 Pro: Up to $520
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max: Up to $630

Trade-ins can be completed on Apple's website or at an Apple Store, and the credit can be applied towards the purchase of a new Apple product, or placed on an Apple gift card for later use. Apple's trade-in page offers a complete list of values for devices.

I own both the iPhone 15 Pro max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Samsung is better any aspect esp. the AI features are superior.
The only drawback is the lack of integration in the Apple ecosystem.
It looks like your Samsung AI wrote those second and third "sentences".

Handing down is bad for the environment (business) because it's denying Apple sales it deserves for creating these amazing products. If yous send them to Apple, they will either disassemble and recycle, or refurbish parts to sell to a new customer. Yes you might make a little less cash, but you are guaranteed to avoid sending it to the landfill with Apple's environmentally friendly processes.
