Apple Slashes Maximum Estimated Trade-In Values of Most Products

As pointed out by the folks over at MacRumors, Apple appears to have reduced the maximum estimated trade-in values of most of its products overnight, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. The reductions have occurred not only on Apple’s U.S. and Canadian online stores but also in Europe and other regions.

As of now, the new trade-in iPhone values on the trade-in program page match the values offered on Apple’s online store when purchasing new devices, meaning there are no special trade-in prices for Macs, iPads, and Apple Watch models when ordering a new device.

Below is a list of all device trade-in reductions (based on Apple’s U.S. online store) with new maximum estimated trade-in values shown in bold alongside their previous values in brackets.
