Apple has slashed the amount of money it will give people when they trade in their old iPhones, including the iPhone 13 series. However, some products have seen their value increase.
The new trade-in prices come as Apple releases several new products, including an M2 Mac mini, M2 Pro/M2 Max MacBook Pros, and a new HomePod.
The new, lower prices mean that some iPhones are now worth as much as $80 less than they were before the change happened, which means anyone wanting to upgrade to Apple's best iPhones will now have to pay even more.
Ups and downs
The price tweaks were first reported by MacRumors and include a few changes across the board. The value of some iPhones remained the same, including the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone X, but Apple's newer models were hit with $80 reductions in value.
Thankfully, Apple appears to have left the iPad alone, meaning that all iPad trade-in values remain the same.
It's a similar story for the Mac, although some prices increased due to these changes. One example is the MacBook Pro, which is now worth up to $40 more than previously, depending on the configuration and other criteria.
The Apple Watch also saw little change, with the Apple Watch Series 5 now worth $5 less and the Apple Watch Series 7 worth $5 more.
Apple also appears to have adjusted the price it will pay for some Android phones, so this news also impacts switchers.
This news comes as Apple launches refurbished iPhone 13 models in Europe and readies for a similar launch across the United States. Of course, you can also see the full rundown of trade-in prices on Apple's website.
