iPhone 15 Pro Pre announcement Trade in

I’m quite sure it’s going to drop right after the announcement. I didn’t think to trade mine in for a gift card and use my 12PM for a few days until preorder and delivery day of my 17PM. Right now I can get $600 for my 15PM.
Depends where you’re trading in. If you want to go through Apple, I’ve found their trade in (and sometimes layered cellular) incentives make it worthwhile to just wait. Plus, it’s low friction and avoids the hassle of juggling intermediate solutions or dealing with third parties.
But if you’re trying to maximize raw trade in value and are going some other route, starting the trade in process now and locking in your value makes sense. Depending how quickly you need to send it in, you could potentially receive your new iPhone before needing to send in your current one.

When you refer to layered incentives do you mean from the top 4 networks (Verizon, ATT, TMO and Sprint)? I am with Visible and I find that these MVNO carriers like Visible and USMobile don't have these amazing incentives on trade-ins.
Unless you are saying Apple may have an offer?
You could or you could keep one as a backup phone if you don’t have one and trade one in.
I watched this closely last year and by ordering day (may have even been on announcement day?) Apple dropped their trade in prices. But there were third party companies that didn't drop the trade in value.
With Apple if you go and look what a 14Pro is right now that is probably what the 15Pro will drop to on Friday.
