So what’s the possibility of In Store Trade in for the 16 ProMax. ? I’m hoping Apple offers $500 trade in credit for my 13 Pro Max is that within the ball park?

Apple does adjust trade-in values (up and down) from time to time and has also run limited time trade-in promotions but not usually tied to iPhone launches. Depending on condition, the current trade in value for a 13 Pro Max is up to $460 (in the U.S.) and I imagine that will still be the trade value when the 16s launch but can't say for sure.
Does Apple lower trade-in values right when they launch the newest phone? I have a 14 Pro Max that right now Apple is offering me over $800 CAD to trade in if I was to buy a new phone right now. On Sept 9th, I have to either buy my phone out from my carrier for $590 CAD or send it back (end of 2 yr term). With the current trade-in it is a no brainer to just keep it and then I can trade it in for a 16 Pro Max and net over $200 CAD. My only worry is if the trade-in drops on iPhone 16 pre-order day it may not be a net gain?? Hopefully it wouldn't drop $200 CAD just because the 14 is now two generations older instead of just the one generation it is today.
It's not usually right at launch but I don’t think it's too long after. Apple typically reduces the prices of older models by $100 (U.S.) right when new models launch (e.g., when iPhone 15 launched last year, the U.S. starting price of a new iPhone 14 dropped from $829 to $729) which can naturally have a domino effect on used iPhones, especially those only a year or two old.
