AppleInsider • Tue, 15 Sep 2026

The impressive AirPods 5 debuted alongside the iPhone 18 Pro , and they pack more value and better noise cancellation in the same tiny form factor, for less money.

Apple Cuts iPhone Trade-In Values While Raising Mac and iPad

Apple has updated its U.S. trade-in estimates , cutting values for every eligible iPhone while raising them across the iPad and Mac lineups. The refresh follows the announcement of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo . Their predecessors now appear on Apple's trade-in list for the first time, led by the iPhone 17 Pro Max at up to $885. The iPhone Air is valued at $585, exactly the same as the standard iPhone 17 , despite having launched at a $200 higher price: iPhone 17 Pro Max : $885 iPhone 17 Pro : $785 iPhone Air : $585 iPhone 17 : $585 The update is also the first to run under Apple's new condition grading system, which is now live. Devices with minor cosmetic defects such as small chips in the display glass were previously treated much like those with far more serious damage, resulting in a similarly steep cut to their value. As we reported last week, Apple now applies more granular tiers that better reflect a device's actual condition, and no device receives less than it would have under the old system. Every other iPhone on the list lost value. The iPhone 16 Pro saw the steepest cut in percentage terms at 19%, while the &zwnj;iPhone 16&zwnj; Pro Max lost the most in absolute terms, falling $110 barely a month after Apple raised it to $720: iPhone 16 Pro Max : $720 to $610 iPhone 16 Pro : $630 to $510 iPhone 16 Plus : $485 to $430 iPhone 16 : $480 to $430 iPhone 16e : $310 to $270 iPhone 15 Pro Max : $530 to $455 iPhone 15 Pro : $420 to $370 iPhone 15 Plus : $340 to $315 iPhone 15 : $335 to $305 iPhone 14 Pro Max : $405 to $360 iPhone 14 Pro : $335 to $285 iPhone 14 Plus : $235 to $210 iPhone 14 : $235 to $195 iPhone SE (3rd generation) : $85 to $75 iPhone 13 Pro Max : $340 to $320 iPhone 13 Pro : $285 to $255 iPhone 13 : $205 to $175 iPhone 13 mini : $155 to $145 iPhone 12 Pro Max : $240 to $210 iPhone 12 Pro : $195 to $165 iPhone 12 : $135 to $120 iPhone 12 mini : $90 to $80 iPhone SE (2nd generation) : $45 to $40 iPhone 11 Pro Max : $160 to $140 iPhone 11 Pro : $145 to $125 iPhone 11 : $110 to $100 iPhone XS Max : $95 to $85 iPhone XS : $70 to $60 iPhone XR : $90 to $75 iPhone X : $60 to $50 iPhone 8 Plus : $40 to $35 The Apple Watch followed the same pattern. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 joins at $430, well clear of any other watch Apple accepts, with the Apple Watch Series 11 at $200 and the Apple Watch SE (3rd generation) at $115. Only the two older Apple Watch SE models held their value, at $60 and $30 respectively: Apple Watch Ultra 2 : $305 to $265 Apple Watch Ultra : $205 to $190 Apple Watch Series 10 : $165 to $150 Apple Watch Series 9 : $135 to $115 Apple Watch Series 8 : $95 to $90 Apple Watch Series 7 : $70 to $65 Apple Watch Series 6 : $45 to $40 The &zwnj;iPad&zwnj; and the Mac moved decisively the other way, with every model gaining value. The iPad Pro climbed almost 26%: iPad Pro : $720 to $905 iPad Air : $490 to $510 iPad mini : $300 to $320 iPad : $260 to $280 The Mac saw the largest increases anywhere in the update, continuing a run that has nearly doubled some trade-in estimates since the spring. The MacBook Pro has risen from $690 in May to $1,315 today, while the Mac mini is up 65% over the same period of time: MacBook Pro : $855 to $1,315 MacBook Air : $580 to $705 Mac mini : $480 to $620 Mac Studio : $1,305 to $1,460 iMac Pro : $315 to $340 iMac : $380 to $385 The Mac Pro was the only Mac left untouched, holding at $2,195 and keeping the top of Apple's trade-in range where it has sat since August. Android estimates were largely static, with four small reductions and a single increase for the Google Pixel 7: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL : $315 to $290 Google Pixel 9 Pro : $305 to $275 Google Pixel 9 : $210 to $200 Google Pixel 8 Pro : $155 to $150 Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G : $85 to $80 Samsung Galaxy S22 5G : $85 to $80 Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G : $75 to $70 Google Pixel 7 : $60 to $65 The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, Google Pixel 8, Google Pixel 8a, Google Pixel 7 Pro, OnePlus 13, OnePlus 13R, OnePlus 12, and OnePlus 12R all held at the same trade-in prices. As always, Apple's listed values are estimates, with the company noting that final offers can vary based on a device's condition and configuration, and that not all devices are eligible for trade-in credit.
