Where do they sell for $60 without needing to buy $50-$200 worth of service?

Apple's trade-in promo is making newer iPhone upgrades more attractive, with top credits like $720 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max and $630 for a 16 Pro, and even older models getting bumps. The credit comes as an Apple gift card or refund after trade-in, and carrier-locked phones and multiple devices are accepted. The main catch is that the value can shift when new iPhones launch, and higher storage does not earn extra credit. It is a cleaner way to offset a new phone if you are comfortable with Apple store credit.

  • Trade-in values increased for several iPhone models, including iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro.

  • Apple trade-in credit is issued as a gift card that can be applied toward a new purchase.

  • Post-purchase trade-in can refund the trade amount plus applicable tax, and the refund can be issued to a debit card.

  • Carrier-locked phones can be accepted for trade-in, which broadens eligibility for upgrades.

  • Trade-in credit is gift-card only, so it cannot be taken as cash directly.

    energyxAussieDad

  • Trade-in values may drop after new iPhone generations launch, so increased credits might not last.

    yagamiyagami

  • Higher storage iPhones may receive the same trade-in value as base models, which reduces upgrade credit for 1TB configurations.

  • Devices with cracked back glass may require recycling guidance, which can complicate acceptance for trade-in.

I think I'll be fine with the 17 pro at a discount plus my credit. Especially for a refurbished or used 17 pro

I've never traded in a phone to Apple. Can you trade in phones carrier locked? Can you cash out instead of trade up? Can you trade In multiple phones at once?

Usually it's in GC not cash but sell the GC for cash sure if you want to go through thatI got the GC a few years back for my son when I upgraded his i13, in the end he decided he wanted a iPhone after all so basically gave the GC back to the Apple Store
