Apple now allows customers to trade-in their Google Pixel 4a, Google Pixel 5, and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 devices for credit towards new Apple product purchases.

As part of Apple's trade-in program, customers can trade in a Google Pixel 5 and receive up to $350 of credit towards purchasing a new product, the Google Pixel 4a for a value of up to $180, or the Galaxy Note 20 for up to $425.

Alongside the new additions, Apple has also updated the maximum trade-in value of almost all other Android smartphones.

  • Samsung Galaxy S20+: $305, down $10
  • Samsung Galaxy S20: $230, down $10
  • Samsung Galaxy S10+: $250, up $30
  • Samsung Galaxy S10: $180, down $5
  • Samsung Galaxy S10e: $190, up $45
  • Samsung Galaxy S9+: $145, up $35
  • Samsung Galaxy S9: $125, up $35
  • Samsung Galaxy S8+: $100, up $30
  • Samsung Galaxy S8: $80, up $25
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10: $260, down $10
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 8: $75, down $5
  • Google Pixel 4 XL: $200, down $20
  • Google Pixel 4: $170, down $15
  • Google Pixel 3 XL: $80, down $10
  • Google Pixel 3a: $70, up $20

Apple determines the exact value of the traded-in product depending on its condition, such as if it has scratches, or dents and if it functions correctly. If a customer has a device not included on Apple's list of trade-in devices, the company does recycle devices for free. More information can be found on Apple's trade-in page.

A little bit better but Apple is still cheap with trade-ins. I got $250 for iPad 2 trade-in and $400 for cracked Galaxy S10+ (front, back and camera cover were cracked) from Samsung.

Don't understand why they don't pay more.
If you can covert someone from another phone to an iPhone, then you can capture much long term additional income from that new iPhone user.

Nice logic try. Here's what's flawed about it. It's become a reality that that people don't keep their phones for very long and some switch back and forth between brands depending on which one has the better deal.
Secondly Apple has one of the most successful phones so they don't even need this non-iPhone trade-in program. If you're referring to the App Store as "long-term income" with all the free apps people download I don't see Apple making much money from that.

Wonder how much a MacBook Air M1 16GB/256GB is worth to Apple? It shows $600 for MacBook Air but doesn't say if Intel or M1.

********, my friend. 3x increase of sales in US alone, out of which 40% from S21 Ultra.

Won’t last long, most of them buyers will sell their phones once they see all that bloat, lag, camera lag, heat issues, ever wonder why Samsung don‘t offer a 14 days return policy like apple does all around the world, because most people would return their bloatsung phones. 😂

Money speaks. They sell, and you may call them whatever you like.
 
Apple needs to keep its margin up in current times. This is why they start taking everything to make your iPhone feel cheaper.
 
I’m keeping all my bought Apple devices as collectors items. It’s gonna be worth a lot in 20 years. You should see what a fully restored PowerBook Pismo goes for.
