When buying an iPhone, we’ve always had the option to trade in our old phone for a discount. But now, Apple has updated its Trade In program and started accepting new Android models. The big surprise? If we have one of these Android phones, we can get up to $400 off our next iPhone. Sounds pretty good.
These are the Android phones Apple pays the most for
Apple's Trade In program has included Samsung devices for years, especially their most popular high-end models. But as of this morning—right after the launch of Samsung’s latest foldable devices yesterday—Apple has added three of the best-known phones from the Android ecosystem to its buyback program:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Samsung Galaxy S24
- Google Pixel 8 Pro
If we take into account the previous models that Apple still includes in its program, the list of Android devices (which can now also enjoy Apple TV+) eligible for good trade-in value when switching to iPhone is quite large. If we have one of them in good condition, this is what we can get:
- Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra – up to $405
- Samsung Galaxy S24 – up to $290
- Google Pixel 8 Pro – up to $205
- Galaxy S23 Ultra – up to $330
- Samsung Galaxy S23 – up to $180
- Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra – up to $135
- Google Pixel 7 Pro – up to $120
Switching has never been this easy (or tempting) as with Trade In
The best thing about Apple’s Trade In system is how convenient the whole process is. If we place the order through the website or app, Apple sends us a box so we can pack up our Android phone and return it at no cost—they’ll even pick it up. Once they receive it, they inspect the device and issue the refund directly to our account or apply it as a discount on the new iPhone. And if we prefer to do it in an Apple Store, we can hand over the phone on the spot and apply the value immediately to our purchase.
The amount may vary depending on the condition of the device, but if for any reason the final value is lower, we can always decline the offer and keep our phone without any obligation.
So, switching from Android to iPhone has never been this easy. On top of the $405 we can get for our old Android phone, we’ll be joining a more seamless and secure ecosystem. Ready to do more with our devices.
