Apple Makes New Offer To iPhone 16 Buyers
Updated May 25 with further details of the trade-in value changes and how long the offer lasts.
Apple almost never drops the price of an iPhone in the year after it's announced. The iPhone 16, for instance, starts at $799, the price announced in September and it's unlikely to change until the iPhone 17 is introduced in the fall. However, a new, limited-time offer from Apple changes things and is available when you're buying an iPhone 16 series or an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, in other words, all the iPhones Apple currently sells, including the latest, the iPhone 16e. Note, though, that it's an offer that runs for less than a month, running to June 18.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
That's down to increased trade-in values which can be found in the trade-in page on apple.com, here. However, as it's announced, Apple warned that it's a temporary 'extra credit' situation, running for just a matter of weeks, until Wednesday, June 18. And to get the benefit, you need to be trading in for a new iPhone.
The deals highlighted in this post were independently selected by the Contributor and do not contain affiliate links.
This extra credit means that, depending on what you're trading in, you can save up to an extra $30 compared to the previous trade-in, as spotted by MacRumors.
All the iPhone trade-in rates have increased, but some have only gone up by as little as $5 compared to what they were before, and the full discount only comes when you trade in for an iPhone, not for anything else. Across the board, the trade-in values stretch from $50 for an iPhone 8 up to $650 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max, assuming each is in good condition.
For instance, if you have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and you want to move to the latest model, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, you could trade in the old model.
What governs the exact trade-in value is the condition of the phone. Apple will ask if it turns on and works normally, all the buttons work and the cameras work and have lenses free of damage Beyond that, the phone needs to have a battery that holds a charge, the body is free from dents and scratches, the touchscreen and back glass are undamaged and the display is free from distortion etc. If you can answer yes to all of these, you can snag $650 in trade-in value against the new phone, instead of the $630 maximum trade-in value before this new offer.
So, instead of paying the new price of $1,199, you'd get it for less than half that, $549. Or choose the iPhone 16 Pro and the price after trade-in will drop from $999 to $349.
If you just want trade-in credit to use another time or for something else, you'll get up to $620.
The biggest uptick in trade-in value comes if you trade in an iPhone 12 (up to $200) or iPhone 12 Pro (up to $250), where the trade-in credit is now $30 more than it used to be.
Other high-value trade-ins include up to $520 trade-in on the iPhone 15 Pro (up from $500), up to $460 on the iPhone 14 Pro Max (previously $450) and up to $400 trade-in on the iPhone 14 Pro, which previously maxed out at $380. The oldest iPhone you can trade in is the iPhone 8, which will net you up to $50, previously $45, and the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X which both have trade-in values of up to $65 for the duration of this offer.
For completeness, here are the full details of what each iPhone's trade-in value is, for the duration of the offer, when you're trading in for an iPhone 16e, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus. Maximum trade-in values from before the offer are in brackets.
iPhone 15 Pro Max: up to $650 ($630), iPhone 15 Pro up to $520 ($500),
iPhone 15 Plus: up to $450 ($440), iPhone 15: up to $410 ($400).
It goes without saying that you would never try and trade in an iPhone 15 for an iPhone 15, that would make no sense.
iPhone 14 Pro Max: up to $460 ($450), iPhone 14 Pro: up to $400 ($380), iPhone 14 Plus: up to $310 ($300), iPhone 14: up to $300 ($290), iPhone SE (3rd generation): up to $120 ($100), iPhone 13 Pro Max: up to $380 ($370), iPhone 13 Pro: up to $310 ($300), iPhone 13: up to $270 ($250), iPhone 13 mini: up to $210 ($200).
For the iPhone 12 series released in 2020 these are the new values. iPhone 12 Pro Max: up to $300 ($280), iPhone 12 Pro: up to $250 ($220), iPhone 12 up to $200 ($170), iPhone 12 mini: up to $130 ($120), iPhone SE (2nd generation): up to $60 ($50), iPhone 11 Pro Max: up to $200 ($180), iPhone 11 Pro: up to $160 ($150), iPhone 11: up to $150 ($130), iPhone XS Max: up to $130 ($120), iPhone XS Up to $95 ($90), iPhone XR up to $105 ($100).
The final tranche of iPhones eligible for trade-in are the three released in 2017, that is, iPhone X: up to $65 ($60), iPhone 8 Plus: up to $65 ($60) and iPhone 8: up to $50 ($45).

Angels manufacture run in 10th inning to beat Red Sox, 4-3
BOSTON (AP) — Automatic runner Zach Neto scored on Taylor Ward's bases-loaded double play groundout to lift the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox in 10 innings on Tuesday night. Nolan Schanuel had two RBIs and Neto added two hits and an RBI to give the Angels consecutive wins for the first time since capping an eight-game win streak on May 23. Kenley Jansen (1-2) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up the win a night after getting a save and Reid Detmers got his first save. Schanuel led off the 10th with a sacrifice bunt that was bobbled by reliever Zack Kelly (1-2), allowing Neto to advance to third. Mike Trout then walked to load the bases. Kelly went 3-0 to Ward before he grounded into the double play. But it allowed Neto to score to put the Angels in front. Ceddanne Rafaela had two RBIs for Boston. Jarren Duran also had an RBI. Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi pitched five innings plus three batters, allowing three runs off eight hits with five walks. He also struck out five, including his 900th major league strikeout. Boston's Brayan Bello ended a five-game streak of not making it through at least five innings. He lasted six innings, allowing three runs off seven hits. Key moment With Boston trailing 3-1 in the sixth, Trevor Story led off with a walk. Rafaela then jumped on Kikuchi's 89 mph slider, driving it 426 feet over the Green Monster for his fifth homer of the season. It was Kikuchi's final hitter of the night. Key stat Boston drops to 6-17 in one-run games this season. Up next Angels RHP José Soriano (4-5, 3.41 ERA) faces Red Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (1-1, 4.78) in the series finale. ___ AP MLB:

Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' faces resistance from Republican senators over debt fears
President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is facing criticism, even from within his own party, as some lawmakers remain skeptical about the massive spending package and its potential impact on the nation's debt, despite it being under consideration by a Republican-controlled Congress. The spending bill, which the House passed late last month and is now in the Senate's hands, aims to address a number of issues, including tax policy, border security and immigration, defense, energy production, the debt limit, and adjustments to SNAP and Medicaid. However, without a serious overhaul, lawmakers like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is still a "no" on the legislation because it will increase the nation's debt limit. He is among a group of at least four Republican senators who have expressed concerns over Trump's bill, because of the package's projected increase in the national debt. This week, Paul relayed his concerns to media members that the bill will raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. "We have never raised the debt ceiling without actually meeting that target," he said. "So you can say it doesn't directly add to the debt, but if you increase the ceiling $5 trillion, you'll meet that. And what it does is it puts it off the back-burner. And then we won't discuss it for a year or two." As of Tuesday, the national debt, which measures what the U.S. owes its creditors, was $36.2 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. Trump pushed back on Paul's remarks about his bill. "Rand Paul has very little understanding of the BBB, especially the tremendous GROWTH that is coming. He loves voting 'NO' on everything, he thinks it's good politics, but it's not. The BBB is a big WINNER!!!" Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. Meanwhile, the national deficit, which occurs when the federal government's spending exceeds its revenues, was $1 trillion as of Tuesday, according to Treasury Department data. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the "blatantly wrong claim that the 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill' increases the deficit is based on the Congressional Budget Office and other scorekeepers who use shoddy assumptions and have historically been terrible at forecasting across Democrat and Republican administrations alike." The outlook for the federal debt level is bleak, as FOX Business previously reported, with economists increasingly sounding the alarm over the torrid pace of spending by Congress and the White House. Under the terms of the bill, the bill would add over $2 trillion to budget deficits over a decade, according to a recent analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO). All together, the tax cuts and reforms in the package add nearly $3.8 trillion to the deficit over a decade – though spending reductions in other parts of the bill offset some of that to arrive at the $2.3 trillion figure. Elon Musk, who ended his tenure last week as Trump's lead in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), doubled down on his position Tuesday that the House's reconciliation package was an "abomination." "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Musk posted on X Tuesday. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." The Trump administration and some congressional Republicans have pushed back on the estimates of the bill, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and its impact on the deficit, arguing that economic growth from the tax cuts will stimulate economic activity and lead to more tax revenue than what is projected. "Hope it does a lot to get some further cuts," Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., told Fox News about the bill. "We don't want to bankrupt the country. And what Elon also should recognize is we don't need more solar and EV credits. That actually makes it worse. He probably knows that, though." To push back on the criticism, the White House launched a website where Americans can tabulate how much the bill will personally save them. The House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on May 22 with a narrow 215-214-1 vote that went largely along party lines. If that version of the bill is revised by the Senate, the legislation will have to go back to the House for another vote before it can go to Trump's desk and become law.
