Major Apple change gives iPhone owners tempting free perk – find out how much extra money you can make today
IPHONE owners will be happy to find out that Apple offers you cash for older models.
This week, Apple changed the trade-in value for various products and models.
What is Trade-in?
Trade-in is an Apple program that lets people hand in older devices to receive credit or cash.
These funds can then be used towards purchasing a newer iPhone model, or other Apple product.
And every so often, the tech giant generates a list of estimated trade-in values for products.
The list includes iMacs, iPhones, Apple Watches, MacBooks, iPads, and even Android-powered devices.
Now, Trade-in customers are expected to receive even more money for their old Apple devices.
Still, it’s important to note that the amount a user can get back depends on their current device’s condition.
Below we share the full list of estimated trade-in values:

HOW TO TRADE-IN
You can trade in an old device at the Apple Store, or by using a pre-paid Trade-in kit that comes in the mail.
Online trade-in usually takes about two to three weeks and you need to be 18 years old to take part.
CONTROVERSY
Apple was in hot water with consumers after it slashed Trade-in values in 2022 just ahead of the holiday season.
That was the second time in a year that Apple lowered its products’ Trade-in values – it also lowered them in July 2022.
At that time, Mac desktops faced some of the most significant trade-in value reductions, but iPhone values also dropped.
Trade-in values were also reduced for Android smartphones, meanwhile, Apple Watch Series 3 trade-ins stopped being accepted at all.
