The prices of smartphones – of all electronics, really – are rising, so it might be a bad time to upgrade. However, this also means that older devices are retaining more value and Apple has acknowledged this as the company has updated trade-in valuations on its US site.
Many older iPhones now cost slightly more than they did a few days ago (we got the old numbers from the Wayback Machine). Some cost only $10 more, but there are many models whose prices have gone up by $25, with some even going up to $35.

Yes, Apple will take your old Android away from you – but now it’s willing to pay you less money for it. That’s right, Android phone ratings have declined! We also noticed that Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series is no longer on the list (it used to be, the S24 Ultra had a trade-in value of up to $350), the latest models now accepted are the S23 series.
