Apple recently adjusted trade-in values for select devices, including some high-end Android phones and some other Apple products. These changes come after Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6. It’s unclear if there’s a direct connection, but the timing suggests Apple may be reevaluating its trade-in strategy.
Apple periodically adjusts trade-in values based on new product launches and upcoming releases. With a wave of new devices expected in the coming months, Apple has recently reduced trade-in values for several models.
