Summary
Apple lifted trade-in credits across iPhones, Macs, iPads and Apple Watches in its second major increase in three months, after raising product prices in June.
Macs saw the biggest gains, with maximum values rising by as much as $260; iPhone 16 models increased by $20 to $30 and iPads by $25 to $35.
Top revised credits now reach $720 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max, $1,305 for a Mac Studio and $2,195 for a Mac Pro, though final offers still depend on condition and configuration.
Apple also expanded some Android eligibility, adding devices including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R while adjusting values for Samsung and older Pixel models.
The higher credits come as memory-driven component costs push up consumer electronics prices, helping Apple soften the impact of pricier new devices.
