Those top-line numbers tell a story: Apple values new and high-end hardware most. The Mac Pro and Mac Studio lead the pack for Macs, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro sit at the top for phones and tablets. But don’t mistake an "up to" figure for a guaranteed voucher.

Apple’s trade-in program gives an estimated credit at the time you initiate a trade; the final amount is determined after an inspection. Some devices won’t qualify at all. If you care about maximizing value, clean the device, gather original accessories if requested, and be honest about screen cracks or battery health. Small details can swing the offer by dozens or even hundreds of euros.

Want to act on this? Visit Apple’s trade-in page or an Apple Store and get a live appraisal before you commit. It’s the fastest way to know whether an upgrade is worth the math.
