Do you go for the super-thin yet surprisingly durable iPhone Air (which we tried — and failed — to break in our hands-on) or the upgraded 48MP telephoto lens and 8x "optical quality" zoom of the iPhone 17 Pro? Or do you splurge on the iPhone 17 Pro Max for its ridiculous 18 hours of battery life, making it the longest-lasting iPhone we’ve ever tested? Well, if you were hoping to trade in your old iPhone for a discount on a shiny new one, I've got some bad news. Apple just lowered trade-in values for the best iPhones, going all the way back to that iPhone 8 you got when you couldn't escape "Despacito" or Ed Sheeran on the radio. Read on for a full breakdown of what your old iPhone is worth with Apple's new trade-in values below. If you're looking for a better deal, you might have more luck with other retailers like Samsung or Google. I've pointed out a few of the best iPhone 17 deals below as well. **iPhone model** **New trade-in value** **Old value** iPhone 16 / 16 Plus Up to $450 / $470 N/A iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max Up to $580 / $700 N/a iPhone 15 / 15 Plus Up to $320 / $370 Up to $400 / $440 iPhone 15 Pro / ProMax Up to $420 / $520 Up to $500 / $630 iPhone 14 / 14 Plus Up to $220 / $240 Up to $290 / $300 iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max Up to $320 / $400 Up to $380 / $455 iPhone SE (3rd gen) Up to $90 Up to $100 iPhone 13 / 13 mini Up to $200 / $170 Up to $250 / $200 iPhone 13 Pro / Pro Max Up to $250 / $320 Up to $300 / $370 iPhone 12 / 12 mini Up to $140 / $100 Up to $170 / $120 iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max Up to $170 / $230 Up to $220 / $280 iPhone SE (2nd gen) Up to $50 Up to $50 iPhone 11 Up to $100 Up to $130 iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max Up to $130 / $160 Up to $150 / $180 If you're set on buying from Apple, you can still get a fair amount for newer devices, including up to $700 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max, which could bring the base iPhone 17's price down to just $99. Trade-ins for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 will get you $450, $470, and $580, respectively. If it were me, I'd rather get an iPhone 17 through AT&T, Verizon, or Boost Mobile, as all three are offering up to $1,100 in credit with trade-in for both new and existing customers. That basically makes the iPhone 17 Pro Max free, that BS connection fee notwithstanding. Of course, the fine print is that you'll have to sign up for the carriers' more expensive plans and/or open a new line in most cases. In our iPhone 17 review, we said it offers one of the best bang-for-the-buck deals in recent memory. So these deals make an already killer value even better. For those still on the fence about upgrading, we've broken down — model by model — whether it's worth ditching your old iPhone for an iPhone 17. Spoiler alert: If you're still rocking a 2020-vintage iPhone 12, you're better off upgrading. _Follow_ _Tom's Guide on Google News_ _and_ _add us as a preferred source_ _to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
