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.

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

  • 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.

Historically yes I believe so and then they add the last gen (e.g. iPhone 17) as an option for trade-in, reducing the values of the older ones (e.g. iPhone 16, 15 etc)

LOL - "Last chance to get best deal on 17"... until the 18 drops in a month or so and they are dumping the 17s as old stock.
Come on.

So buy the phone at 1199, get gift card for 720, use it to buy a new iPhone because of better specs for 1399 or 1499 at release for 18 pm, 1283-720= 563 paid, buying new iPhone 1497-720= 777 bucks for new iPhone, price for basically a phone that has a new camera bump a updated processor and still the same pretty much everything else so you can play 3 games at full frame rates and speeds vs 16 pm that already did this pretty damn well but was aging
