Switching from Android just became more expensive
Bad news for Android users who plan to switch to iPhone. Apple has cut most of the Android trade-in offers, and a Galaxy S23 Ultra will only get you $200 in trade-in credits, down from $230.
Your final offer may vary
It’s worth noting that these trade-in estimates are just that — estimated values that can change. You will receive your final trade-in offer after your specific device has been inspected and evaluated.
You can also choose to get your trade-in credits as an Apple Gift Card if you don’t want to purchase a new device. Apple will also recycle older devices that fall outside its trade-in policies for free.
