Trade-in your old iPhone
As usual, Apple and retailers will also offer trade-in programs where you can send your old eligible iPhone in exchange for a credit. You can use the credit when buying the new iPhones. The actual amount depends on the state of your device, meaning the more pristine it is, the chances you will get the highest value.
If you’re sending your old handset to Apple, the maximum credit they are giving is $650 and this is for the iPhone 15 Pro Max with no damages. The estimated figures are lower for the smaller iPhone 15 Pro and the standard iPhone 15 models.
Other retailers like Best Buy and carriers are more generous towards the trade-in credits. Of course, the credit will vary on the status of your iPhone.
