Apple Raised Trade-In Values Again — Here's Why

On August 6, 2026, Apple increased what it pays you for old iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Watches — its third bump in three months. The timing matches Apple's new "Upgrade" leasing program, launched in July. Bigger trade-in credits mean lower monthly lease payments, while Apple keeps its retail prices unchanged. The Mac Studio gained the most at $260; most devices rose $5–$20.
