Apple today updated its U.S. trade-in estimates, raising maximum values across the iPad lineup and for most Macs following today's announcement of the new iPad mini.
Every iPad category has gained value, although the increases are relatively modest. The iPad mini and standard iPad both rise by $20, while the iPad Air gains $15 and the iPad Pro increases by $10. The revised maximum estimates are as follows:
- iPad Pro: $905 to $915
- iPad Air: $510 to $525
- iPad mini: $320 to $340
- iPad: $280 to $300
The Mac sees substantially larger increases, led by the Mac Pro, which gains $365 after holding at $2,195 in the previous update. The Mac Studio rises by $240, while the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air gain $120 and $90, respectively:
- MacBook Pro: $1,315 to $1,435
- MacBook Air: $705 to $795
- Mac mini: $620 to $645
- Mac Studio: $1,460 to $1,700
- iMac: $385 to $440
- Mac Pro: $2,195 to $2,560
The iMac Pro is the only listed Mac category left unchanged, remaining at up to $340. All listed iPhone and Apple Watch trade-in estimates also remain at the values from September.
The increases continue a run of higher Mac trade-in estimates this year. The MacBook Pro's maximum value has more than doubled from $690 in May to $1,435, while the MacBook Air has risen from $520 to $795 over the same period.
Apple's listed values are maximum estimates, with final offers depending on a device's condition, year, and configuration. Trade-in credit can be applied toward a qualifying new purchase or added to an Apple Gift Card.
