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).

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

Great time to trade in your devices now that 17.5 has been released! Every traded-in phone has the potential of a surprise payload for the new owner.

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.
