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.
Starting with Android phones, MacRumors states that some models have a high depreciation value:
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G: Up to $235 (Previously $270)
- Samsung Galaxy S22 5G: Up to $170 (Previously $235)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra: Up to $140 (Previously $150)
- Google Pixel 6 Pro: Up to $125 (Previously $150)
If you prefer value, getting a foldable phone or pre-ordering a Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Z Fold 6 might be attractive, especially with current trade-in deals. However, iPhones offer a different user experience and ecosystem, which may be important for some.
