What % of original cost does Apple typically give on the latest previous year's model for an unlocked version to the newest model? 50%? Do they give you a tax credit also?
 
It varies with market conditions and number of months since release. Example, my iPhone 12 Pro will get me $670 plus tax back, and I paid $999... This past March, Apple paid me $500 for the 2019 iPhone 11 Pro Max which I paid $1099 for...

If you go to Apple's site, they will tell you what they are currently offering. Yes, they credit you back the trade-in price plus sales tax - to your original payment method.

Many thanks! I was trying to calculate how much it would cost me to get the 13 Pro and hold it for a year, then the 14. I'm coming from an 8 and kind of need a new upgrade, but the 13 is still lacking some of the features I was hoping for (like fingerprint). So, I'm thinking of grabbing the 13 Pro and seeing if the 14 delivers and just eating the differential. Normally, I hold for at least 3 years.
