Apple's Trade-In Bumps Support Its New Upgrade Leasing Program

Apple raised trade-in values across iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Watches on August 6, 2026 — its third adjustment in three months. The increases align with July's "Upgrade" leasing program: higher trade-in credits lower monthly lease payments while Apple keeps retail prices intact. The Mac Studio gained the most at $260; most devices rose $5–$20.
