Summary
$550 is all Samsung offers for an iPhone 17 Pro Max toward a Galaxy Z Fold 8, while a Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets $520 and some other brands lost trade-in eligibility entirely.
Galaxy owners get far richer credits — up to $1,200 — with a Galaxy Z Fold 6 worth $1,100 and an S24 Ultra $850, reinforcing upgrades from within Samsung's ecosystem.
The gap widened from last year: the iPhone 16 Pro Max fetched $750 toward the Fold 7, while Samsung also raised its top in-brand trade-in ceiling by $200.
Pre-orders for the Fold 8 lineup are already open, but the weaker non-Galaxy offers undercut Samsung's stated push to attract new foldable buyers as Apple nears its own foldable iPhone.
