Here are all the best iPhone trade in values after iPhone 13 launch

In case you missed it, the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max have arrived, and that means it’s time to trade in an older phone! We’re always trying to keep you updated on all the best iPhone, iPad, and MacBook trade in deals every month, and here’s what we’re finding for trade in values for iPhone 7 all the way through iPhone 12 Pro in the wake of the announcement.

Upgrading your phone can be a bit of a hassle if you don’t use Apple’s own iPhone Upgrade Program. There are lots of questions: Do you want to sell it yourself? Trade it in with your carrier? Trust one of those trade in sites? We’ll help demystify the process. For one, you can check out our trade in guide for the iPhone, which lays out all your basic options for selling/trading in your device and upgrading.

Best carrier trade in deals

Carriers are one of the best places to trade in your old iPhone this time around, especially if you’re going to add a new line or switch carriers. To paraphrase my colleague Blair:

  • Verizon is giving new customers a chance to save up to $800 on iPhone 13 
  • AT&T buyers who sign up will be able to save up to $1,000 on the new flagship handset
  • T-Mobile promises as much as $800 in trade-in credits on a new iPhone every two years
  • Xfinity is offering iPhone 13 Pro Max pre-order deals by delivering $300 off the handset
  • Best Buy is now getting in on the savings by taking $100 off iPhone 13 Pro Max when you pre-order 
  • Walmart is rounding out the pre-order deals out by taking $100 off handsets

Get cash for your old iPhone
