It's up to $1K off with trade-in if you do it through carrier financing. The trade-in has to go through the carrier, not Apple.

Yeah, the carrier financing is the new 2-year contract
Except they’ve all moved to 36-month financing
Okay, I just looked at AT&T, and they said my iPhone is worth only $600. And it looks like they pay it as a monthly billing credit. I'm used to just buying my iPhones outright.
Which carrier is giving $1000?

I would imagine VZW will also offer similar.
People are not reading the carrier offers.
Boost Mobile is offering $1000 in bill credits - spread out over 36 months.
No trade in required!
I'm not really complaining about only getting $650. That's about the same trade-in values they've given for the last few years. My point is that they were being deceptive by saying you can get up to $1000. I don't recall them quoting a maximum trade-in value in previous years that was so out of line with what Apple is paying.
You're making me regret my decision of letting go of my iPhone 11 Pro Max, but yes, I do agree that the photos are over-processed... It seems to me that the only good thing regarding iPhone 12 series and newer is Dolby Vision [HDR video]
Also, was storage capacity ever a consideration with the trade in value?
Did you expect to trade-in a year old phone to get a new one for free at Apple?
That's why you sell it on eBay or right here in the Macrumors classifieds.
Trading it in is the same as trading a car in. If you can't be bovvered to spend the time selling it yourself and getting what it's worth on the market, because your time is more valuable than the difference in $, then trading your phone in and losing a few hundred extra dollars is an alternate option that starts to makes more sense. I'm notoriously cheap and watch every penny so I sell everything. To my Dad, it's not worth the time & effort to think about a matter of a thousand bucks and gives his mint phones away to whoever wants them every year or so when a new one shows up in the mail.

Agree - if you don't want to hassle with selling it yourself, then better to go with Apple or carrier trade in.
I can't believe my 14+ trade in is only $320.
I'll be selling mine online for $500 easy....
If trading in last years model is necessary in order to justify buying the new model, you are making very poor decisions and trying to blame Apple.
This may blow your mind so strap in but you can actually sell it elsewhere.
It’s weird I think part of the presentation for the regular models maybe they just said it without qualifying carriers are involved. The second go round with pro they did.
Deceptive intro the idea but they did clarify later in presentation. If memory serves me right (I could be off)
I think the absolute worst thing about trade-in values is that increased storage size does not increase the phone’s value. So then why do we have to pay so much extra for it?
I checked there and their offer was much lower than Apple's trade-in value for my 13 Pro. It looks like they are better for newer phones.
Why does Apple owe you any trade-in money at all? You bought the phone. You can do whatever you want with it, including selling it if you don't like what Apple is offering.CRIMINAL is an understatement.
How is it possible that Tim Apple can charge $1200 for the Pro Max and a year later only gives nearly HALF for trade in credit? It isn't even cash we are talking about and then to release a new iPhone that is super underwhelming? I have lost faith in Apple for the first time for being super greedy. They are not decently fair like they used to be. People should stop defending a company that does not value us. Without us
They are NOTHINGAlso the videos & pictures they demonstrated of the new camera looks super over-processed still. Meaning that the iPhone 11 Pro still has the best camera system of all the iPhones.
I'm sure they're talking about Verizon/ATT probably subsidizing you $1000 IF you agree to a contract.
What device have now? Trade in value and getting $1000 credits are two different deals. Looks like if you have ip12 or newer can get $1000. Monthly over 36.
