When upgrading to a new Apple device, many people wonder: โ€œHow much is my old iPhone, iPad, or Mac worth?โ€ The Apple Trade-In Calculator makes this process simple by giving you an instant estimate of your deviceโ€™s trade-in value.

Appleโ€™s official trade-in program allows you to exchange your eligible device for credit toward a new purchase or an Apple Gift Card. The calculator tool saves time by showing you how much you can expect before trading in.


How the Apple Trade-In Calculator Works (Step by Step)

  1. Visit the Apple Trade-In page.
  2. Select the type of device:
    • iPhone
    • iPad
    • MacBook / iMac
    • Apple Watch
    • Other Apple products
  3. Enter the device model (e.g., iPhone 13 Pro, iPad Air 4th Gen).
  4. Answer a few questions about its condition (screen quality, battery health, functionality).
  5. The calculator provides an instant trade-in estimate.
  6. You can choose to:
    • Apply the credit immediately to a new Apple purchase
    • Receive an Apple Gift Card for future use

Example: iPhone Trade-In Value

Letโ€™s say you own an iPhone 13 Pro (128GB, good condition).

  • You select โ€œiPhoneโ€ in the calculator.
  • Enter the model and condition.
  • The calculator estimates: $430 trade-in value.

You can then use that $430 toward a new iPhone 15, reducing your out-of-pocket cost.
