<p> <span><span class="article-leader">Apple has updated its trade-in program webpage with new estimated payment values for a customer’s iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and other products, a change indicating consumers will receive less for their trade-ins now than one week ago. <br /></span></p>

<p>The <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/11/14/how-to-use-apples-trade-in-program-to-get-a-discounted-iphone">Apple Trade-In program</a> encourages customers to hand in their older iPhones, iPads, and other Apple products, in exchange for credit towards the cost of a new device. The program gives customers a way to gain value from their old models, by using them to reduce what needs to be paid for newer models. </p>
<p>Spotted <a href="https://bgr.com/2020/01/10/iphone-deals-apple-cuts-trade-in-values/">by</a> <em>BGR</em>, Apple has recently updated the <a href="https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in">trade-in site</a> to alter the “estimated trade-in value” for a number of products. Research by <em>AppleInsider</em> indicates the change took place overnight on January 9, with the updated values offered from January 10. </p>

<p><span class="minor2 small gray">Estimated trade-in values for iPhones from January 9 (left), January 10 (right)</span></div>
<p>The main changes relate to iPhone values, with the biggest drop occurring for the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/iphone+xs+max">iPhone XS Max</a>, which went from $600 to $500. The <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/iphone+xs">iPhone XS</a> moved from an estimate of up to $500 to one of up to $420, and the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/iphone+xr">iPhone XR</a> from $370 to $300. On the other end of the scale, the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/iphone-6s">iPhone 6s</a> and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/iphone-6s-plus">iPhone 6s Plus</a> both were cut by $20, dropping to $80 and $100 respectively. </p>
<p>Changes were also made to the iPad listings, with <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/ipad-pro">iPad Pro</a> owners now receiving “up to $220” for their device, down from $290. The iPad, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/ipad-air-3">iPad Air</a>, and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/ipad-mini-5">iPad mini</a> also see reductions to their estimates, bringing them to $100, $70, and $80 respectively. </p>
<p>Few changes were made to Macs, with the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/macbook-air">MacBook Air</a> seeing a drop of just $10, the MacBook by $20, the iMac by $60, and the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/imac-pro">iMac Pro</a> by $90 to a new estimated trade-in value of $4,150. The <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/mac-pro">Mac Pro</a> and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/mac-mini">Mac mini</a> remain at $1,700 and $230 each. </p>
<p>In the Apple Watch list, the <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-watch-series-4">Apple Watch Series 4</a> was the only model to be reduced, down $10 to $100, with all other models maintaining their values. </p>
<p>Apple’s Trade-In program is one of a number of different avenues for consumers to gain value from their old devices. Depending on the outlet, it is possible to secure higher values via a third-party than from Apple directly. </p>
<p><em>AppleInsider’s</em> <a href="https://prices.appleinsider.com/trade-in">Price Guide</a> lists expected values for device trade-ins from services including BuyBackWorld, Gazelle, Decluttr, and MyPhones Unlimited, as well as a collection of bonuses to enhance the value of the offers. </p>
