Apple Adds Samsung Foldables to Trade-In Program

Apple today revised its U.S. trade-in estimates, with increases for many older iPhones, reductions for several Pro models, and newly listed offers for six Samsung foldables.

Actual trade-in offers depend on the device's condition, year, and configuration. Through Apple Trade In, eligible devices can be exchanged for credit toward a purchase or an Apple Gift Card, while devices without trade-in value can be recycled for free.
