iPhone SE (2022) How much do you think I can get for trading in my SE 3 for the SE 4?

pretty much nothing... not worth trading it in. It's better to give it to a family member or used as a backup phone that can be use for other purposes. If you want to future proof I think the iPhone 17 Air will be the perfect phone for you. It's a bit more but you can use it 2-3 years longer than the new SE 4 coming out due to being a much more premium phone.
I got the SE 3 when it first came out and never wanted more. The SE 4's 8 GB memory is very intriguing. I rather use the extra money buying real musical gadgets/instruments.
Trade in where? Apple? A carrier?
Current U.S. Apple trade in value for SE 3 is up to $100.
Not to burst your bubble but I hope the SE3 trends further down in price when the SE4 becomes available. I paid $75 for mine refurb'd from Straight Talk last fall and couldn't be happier, so I'd love to get a second one for business purposes. Why pay $75 for another when I could get one even cheaper?
Just looked this up for my son’s SE3. Apple is $100.00. Our carrier is $173.00. Check your carrier for deals. They are usually better than Apple.

Unless you really short with money, just keep the SE3 as a backup phone.
As others have said, keep it. Do not let Apple give you a pittance for it. It will last as a potential back up for quite some time or you could give it to a family member or friend. My SE 3 is going strong and my wife is using an SE 2 with no difficulty.
I agree with the folks who say keep it. My wife also has an SE2 that needs the battery replaced, so she'll probably just take the SE3 and my son will probably update to the new SE4. Me, I'm keeping my 13PM for another couple years.😉
My SE3 is becoming my business phone (I'll get a new battery eventually). It's a phone with at least another 3 years of life. I'm considering an SE4 but I'd have loved to start to come away from iOS eco-system in favour of an Android-based eInk phone. They don't really exist as a good product. Just shoot-offs from Chinese brands.
