Apple’s trade-in program is something that I feel a lot of people don’t speak about, but I know several people that have used it to upgrade to a new device, and if you’re in the market for a new phone, there’s no better time than now to take advantage with increased trade-in value on iPhones for the next week.
From now until June 3rd, you can get an extra $50 to $120 when you trade in an eligible iPhone (iPhone 7 Plus or higher) and purchase a new Apple device in the same transition.
You can see a list of increased values below or the full list here:
| Your device | Estimated trade-in value footnote ¹ |
|---|---|
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | Up to A$1,210 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | Up to A$970 |
| iPhone 14 Plus | Up to A$785 |
| iPhone 14 | Up to A$725 |
| iPhone SE (3rd generation) | Up to A$335 |
| iPhone 13 Pro Max | Up to A$845 |
| iPhone 13 Pro | Up to A$735 |
| iPhone 13 | Up to A$540 |
| iPhone 13 mini | Up to A$510 |
| iPhone 12 Pro Max | Up to A$665 |
| iPhone 12 Pro | Up to A$565 |
The trade-in can be performed either online or in an Apple store where you’ll be able to get credit and apply to a new product. If you’re not wanting to get credit or the device is too old, Apple can also recycle the product.
In an interesting stat, a survey conducted by Kantar said that 48% of Australian iPhone users that purchased a new phone in the 3 months leading up to December 2023 did nothing with their old device (we’re all guilty of having an old one in a draw).
You can also trade-in Macs, iPads or Apple Watches and you can find out more info about the Apple trade-in program HERE.
