Apple will now pay you more for your iPad or Apple Watch

Doing some holiday shopping for yourself or someone else? Some of your Apple gear might be worth more in trade-in credit starting today. Apple has boosted the trade-in value of some iPads, Apple Watches, and several Android phones.

Here are the estimated trade-in values for iPads and Apple Watches that have increased:

  • Apple Watch Ultra: Up to $425 (was $380)
  • Apple Watch Series 7: Up to $160 (was $155)
  • iPad Pro: Up to $580 (was $510)
  • iPad Air: Up to $325 (was $315)
  • iPad: Up to $260 (was $170)

Additionally, Apple provides trade-in credit for select Android devices, presumably out of sympathy, including these phones with boosted values:

  • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G: Up to $340 (was $325)
  • Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G: Up to $230 (was $225)
  • Samsung Galaxy S22 5G: Up to $190 (was $180)
  • Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G: Up to $160 (was $140)
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 5G: Up to $135 (was $120)
  • Samsung Galaxy S20+: Up to $100 (was $90)
  • Samsung Galaxy S20: Up to $95 (was $85)
  • Samsung Galaxy S10: Up to $70 (was $65)
  • Samsung Galaxy S10e: Up to $55 (was $50)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra: Up to $165 (was $140)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 20: Up to $120 (was $100)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10: Up to $90 (was $75)
  • Google Pixel 6 Pro: Up to $140 (was $125)
  • Google Pixel 6: Up to $110 (was $90)
  • Google Pixel 6a: Up to $100 (was $80)
  • Google Pixel 5: Up to $60 (was $50)
  • Google Pixel 4 XL: Up to $40 (was $35)
  • Google Pixel 4: Up to $35 (was $30)
  • Google Pixel 4a: Up to $35 (was $30)

In other words, please buy an iPhone.

Meanwhile, these Android phones dropped in trade-in value:

  • Samsung Galaxy S9+: Up to $40 (was $45)
  • Samsung Galaxy S9: Up to $25 (was $30)

Somehow those values still seem generous for Android phones. Apple also accepts OnePlus 10T and OnePlus 10 Pro phones for trade-in. Everything else gets recycled.
