Apple changed its trade-in values again on November 12, 2026. According to 9to5Mac, this was at least the seventh revision this year, and it came only weeks after a change to iPad and Mac offers. How-To Geek counted more than seven updates in the past year. The latest round raised offers for many older iPhones and several Apple Watch models, while lowering a few Pro iPhones and some Google Pixel phones. Apple also began accepting six Samsung foldable phones from customers switching from Android. None of the three outlets reports a public reason for the revision.

The iPhone 17 Pro takes the biggest cut, down $45 to $740. The iPhone 17 Pro Max drops $30 to $855. The iPhone Air and the standard iPhone 17 each rise $30 to $615. The iPhone 16 Pro Max falls $20 to $590, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max falls $10 to $445. Most older models gain between $5 and $20. The iPhone 16 Plus reaches $450, the iPhone 16 $440, and the iPhone 16e $285. The second-generation iPhone SE returns to $45, reversing an earlier cut. The reports differ on the iPhone 16 Pro: 9to5Mac says its value is unchanged at $510, while MacRumors does not list it.

Among Apple Watch models, the Ultra 2 rises $10 to $275 and the Series 10 gains $5 to $155. The Series 7 and the original Ultra each lose $5. Samsung foldables are priced as follows: Galaxy Z Fold7 $410, Z Fold6 $335, Z Fold5 $270, Z Flip7 $215, Z Flip6 $185 and Z Flip5 $125. On the Google side, the Pixel 9 drops $20 to $180, the largest Pixel cut, and the Pixel 7 gains $5 to $70. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is $280 and the Pixel 9 Pro is $265.

iPad and Mac values stay as they were, including $915 for the iPad Pro and $2,560 for the Mac Pro. Apple says offers depend on condition, model year and configuration, and not every device is eligible for credit. Eligible devices can be used toward a purchase or an Apple Gift Card, and devices with no trade-in value can be recycled free. All figures are maximum offers in US dollars.
