Of course, trade-ins are also available for devices newer than an iPhone 8. The maximum currently available is $720 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max, though given this phone cost $1,199 upon release and will still be usable for many years, trading it in now makes little sense. Other phones vary upon their age and condition, so go through the steps to evaluate yours.
Aside from phones, Apple also accepts trade-ins for your old iPad (max of $690), Mac ($2,045 at most), or Apple Watch (up to $305). You're required to enter a serial number to see the value of these trade-ins. Other devices like the HomePod, Apple TV, and AirPods are eligible for recycling but give no cash.
Those considering switching from Android to iPhone aren't left out. Apple also provides trade-in credit for select Android phones; these are currently limited to Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Huawei models. As you'd expect, these phones don't grant as much value as first-party offerings; you're also asked about the storage capacity, unlike iPhone trade-ins. For example, a 128GB Pixel 9 Pro in good condition is eligible for $255, while a 1TB model in good shape yields $315. Meanwhile, Apple offers $50 for a Pixel 6 Pro in good condition, no matter the storage.
These evaluations for non-Apple devices aren't great, so you're better off selling those on other marketplaces (see below). But if you're desperate to get rid of your old phone with minimal effort, this is better than nothing.
