Can you guess which iPhone model was traded in the most last quarter?
Trade-in deals have become more popular among consumers, carriers, and retail stores. Driving the increased use of this option are deals that sound too good to be true. For example, a couple of years ago my wireless firm gave me $830 for my then-four-year-old iPhone 11 Pro Max toward the purchase of my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The result was a minor $10 per month increase in my monthly bill. For the third consecutive quarter, the top device used in trade-in and upgrade programs has been the iPhone 13. The Android phone most used in a trade, also for the last three quarters, has been the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G. 5G-enabled phones made up four out of the top five phones used in a trade during Q1. The only model not 5G compatible on that list is the iPhone 11. Besides an increase in the number of trade-in and upgrade deals accepted by device buyers, the devices being used in these trades have been less than four years old on average which means that the consumer receives more money toward his/her purchase. Having said that, the age of the typical trade has been rising. The average age of an iPhone turned in for a trade-in and upgrade deal is 3.79 years while the average for an Android model is 3.93 years. These ages are the highest on record but, as we said, the age of devices being turned over in a trade-in and upgrade is still young enough for the consumer to receive enough credit from carriers and tech retailers to significantly help with the purchase of a new phone. Assurant comes to the conclusion that most consumers aren't thinking about trading in their newer handsets without receiving a special deal. That's because most phones used in a trade still run great while giving the majority of consumers everything they need from a smartphone.

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 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).

Apple Boosts iPhone Trade-In Discounts in China to Reignite Lagging Sales
On Friday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced that the company is now offering additional trade-in discounts for new iPhones in China until June 18, 2025. This initiative aims to stimulate demand in a crucial market where the company has faced increasing competition and declining sales. Apple has increased the trade-in value for old iPhones. For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max now has a trade-in value of up to 5,700 Chinese yuan, an increase from the previous 5,625 yuan. A wide view of an Apple store, showing the range of products the company offers. A brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at 7,999 yuan in China. The iPhone 15 Pro model's trade-in value has also risen to up to 4,750 yuan from 4,725 yuan. While these increases are relatively minor (~$11 more for an iPhone 15 Pro Max and $5 for an iPhone 15 Pro), they signal Apple's ongoing efforts to boost sales in the world's second-largest economy. Apple's market position in China has been challenged by robust local competition from companies like Xiaomi and Huawei. In Q1 2025, Apple's iPhone shipments in China fell by 8% year-on-year, and its smartphone market share in the country decreased from 15% to 13%, according to Canalys data. This follows earlier direct price cuts by Apple in January 2025, including up to 500 yuan off the iPhone 16 Pro during the Lunar New Year shopping season. Additionally, despite President Trump's temporary pause on most tariffs on China, discussions persist regarding potential special duties on chips and other electronics. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) currently manufactures ~90% of its iPhones in China through its partner Foxconn. However, the company has been exploring diversifying production to India, although Trump has expressed that he would prefer Apple to manufacture devices in the US. While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than AAPL and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock. READ NEXT: and . Disclosure: None.
