Until recently, the maximum amount you could receive was \u20ac795 for a 1 TB iPhone 16 Pro Max in perfect condition. But that appraisal has now decreased.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 1 --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad-lat\">\n<div class=\"ad-box\" id=\"div-gpt-lat\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Without making much noise, Apple has been making changes to its program, offering around <strong>between 5%<\/strong><strong> and 40%<\/strong> <strong>less for your old iPhone<\/strong>. It isn&#8217;t unusual, since a couple of times a year it tends to happen (when new iPhones come out and during the middle of their cycle).<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --><\/p>\n<h2>How Much Will Apple Pay for Your iPhone When Buying a New One<\/h2>\n<div class=\"article-asset-video article-asset-normal\">\n<\/div>\n<p>In percentage terms, the iPhone XS has suffered the largest hit in this latest change, while the iPhone 16 Plus is the only model that keeps the same price in this program.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 -->  <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad-out\">\n<div class=\"ad-box\" id=\"div-gpt-out\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here is how the current Spain table looks, with the amount shown being the maximum that will be discounted when purchasing a new iPhone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset-table article-asset-normal m-hr-scroll\">\n<\/div>\n<p>If you own an iPhone with lower storage configurations or with noticeable signs of wear on the chassis or screen, <strong>the value will drop<\/strong>. That said, as long as it works, Apple will accept it. If it won\u2019t even power on, regardless of the model and exterior condition, the company will not accept it to discount money.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<\/div>\n<p>What will happen in those cases is the same as with earlier iPhones listed here: the recycling option. Although you won\u2019t be paid for it, Apple accepts them for disassembly, though always as an optional option.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<h2>How the Trade In Works<\/h2>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<\/div>\n<p>What doesn\u2019t change is how this program operates, aimed at making the purchase of a new iPhone at Apple more affordable. And that \u201cnew\u201d and \u201cApple\u201d part is important, because it only applies in Apple stores (or purchases made through its website and app) and to new devices, so refurbished units don\u2019t count.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad-lat2\">\n<div class=\"ad-box\" id=\"div-gpt-lat2\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Looking at the current iPhone catalog, these discounts will apply to buying one of these devices officially sold in the company\u2019s stores:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iPhone 16<\/strong> in 128 GB version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 16 Plus<\/strong> in 128 GB or 256 GB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17<\/strong> in 256 GB or 512 GB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone Air<\/strong> in 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17 Pro<\/strong> in 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/strong> in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17e<\/strong> in 256 GB or 512 GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"article-asset-summary article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The idea behind this process is to inform Apple about your old iPhone when you buy the new one. Variants arrive depending on how the purchase is made:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If it&#8217;s an in-store purchase<\/strong> they will appraise your old iPhone on the spot, and if you accept what they offer you\u2019ll have to hand it over and you\u2019ll be charged the price of the new iPhone minus the value of the old one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If it&#8217;s an online purchase<\/strong> they will charge the full amount of the new iPhone, and once you receive it they will send a courier to your home to collect the old one. Once they have the appraisal, you will be notified. If you accept the appraisal, the money will be deposited into your account; if you reject it, they will send the iPhone back to your home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pros and Cons of This Program<\/h2>\n<p>Clearly, Apple\u2019s program isn\u2019t always profitable. In fact, it is often the worst option financially, as you typically get more money by selling the iPhone on second-hand marketplaces. Whether to an individual or a specialty shop, resale value usually exceeds what Apple deducts.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 7 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<\/div>\n<p>That said, we cannot ignore that Trade In remains the fastest route if you want the discount sooner and to avoid jumping into apps like Wallapop and similar platforms, where scams or bargaining attempts are plentiful and not always rewarding.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 8 --><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth considering if you\u2019re thinking about recycling a non-working iPhone. They won\u2019t offer any cash, but at least you\u2019ll have the assurance that Apple can repurpose it to power other devices by dismantling, something that won\u2019t happen at a municipal recycling center.<\/p>\n<p>Cover image | Neil Soni on Unsplash and Ann H on Pexels<\/p>\n<p>On Applesfera | New iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max \u2014 Everything we think we know about them<\/p>\n<p>On Applesfera | WWDC26: date and updates we expect from Apple\u2019s big event where iOS 27 will be unveiled<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"class_list":["post-781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Apple Pays Less for Your Old iPhone When You Upgrade to a New One - See Trade-In Prices - The Ponds | Shopping Centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/apple-pays-less-for-your-old-iphone-when-you-upgrade-to-a-new-one-see-trade-in-prices\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Apple Pays Less for Your Old iPhone When You Upgrade to a New One - See Trade-In Prices - The Ponds | Shopping Centre\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/apple-pays-less-for-your-old-iphone-when-you-upgrade-to-a-new-one-see-trade-in-prices\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Ponds | Shopping Centre\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thepondsshoppingcentre\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-30T12:06:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-05-30T12:06:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Apple-Pays-Less-for-Your-Old-iPhone-When-You-Upgrade.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"840\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Elliot Wainford\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Elliot Wainford\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/apple-pays-less-for-your-old-iphone-when-you-upgrade-to-a-new-one-see-trade-in-prices\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/apple-pays-less-for-your-old-iphone-when-you-upgrade-to-a-new-one-see-trade-in-prices\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Elliot Wainford\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/shopattheponds.com.au\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/690e9500db8734c67c1348893f26e755\"},\"headline\":\"Apple Pays Less for Your Old iPhone When You Upgrade to a New One &#8211;
