Apple fans in India frequently wish to buy the newest iPhone, but the cost can be a major deterrent to many buyers. To offset the price, Apple has a Trade-In Program that allows customers to trade in their older smartphone, either an iPhone or Android, for a discount on a new Apple device. Users can get up to Rs 64,000 back, depending on the device.
The Apple Trade-In service is quite simple. You give Apple your old smartphone. They will assess how well your device works and assign a value. Then, they will give you a discount. You can apply the discount towards any new purchase from Apple, whether online or in-store. The Trade-In service applies to iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks.
Older iPhones also have a value. An iPhone 7 Plus will get you Rs4,350. The iPhone 8 is worth a discount of Rs5,850. The 8 Plus is worth Rs7,050 discounted. While the iPhone X goes higher at Rs8,800 discounted. The iPhone XR allows you to save Rs9,400.
You get to save more on the iPhone XS and XS Max at Rs10,900, and Rs11,900 respectively. The iPhone 11 series offers great value and savings from Rs 12,500 to Rs 19,300. The iPhone 12 series offers even better savings from Rs 13,700- Rs28,100.
Recent models provide the highest trade-in value. The iPhone 13 series offers Rs22,900 to Rs38,200. An iPhone 14 can save you Rs27,900. The iPhone 14 Plus increases this to Rs31,400. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are top-tier. They offer Rs48,000 and Rs50,000 respectively.
The latest iPhone 15 series is valuable too. Save Rs31,500 on the base model. The Plus model gets you Rs36,500. The Pro and Pro Max offer Rs54,500 and Rs58,000. The newest iPhone 16 series gives the most. Save up to Rs64,000 on a Pro Max model.
Apple also accepts Android phones for trade-in. A Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gets Rs41,540. The Galaxy S24 provides a Rs23,500 discount. The OnePlus 12R offers savings of Rs13,400. A Google Pixel 8 can get you Rs19,000. Even a Vivo V29 Pro is eligible for Rs12,170.
