iPhone 16e Apple not accepting iPhone 16e Trade ins

[-BigMac-]

Hi guys.

Apple doesn’t accept iPhone 16e for trade ins. Like, at all.

Old devices as far back as iPhone 8 can be traded in, or even the low spec iPhone SE.

But no 16e.

Why is that?

Has Apple addressed this?

It’s because it’s current-gen/too recently released. Notice there is no option to trade-in iPhone 17 yet. And a week ago, there was no option to trade in any of the 16 family. Only once the 17 came out were there options to trade in the 16 family.
