Apple has revised the estimated exchange values for several older iPhone models in India and other markets. It has also expanded its trade-in programme to include more Android smartphones, with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series among the newly eligible devices.
Updated iPhone trade-in values in India
Customers purchasing a new Apple device can now receive up to ₹54,000 for trading in an iPhone 17 and up to ₹33,000 for an iPhone 15 Plus. These estimates apply to devices in “Good” condition. Handsets with damage may receive lower offers.
According to Apple’s India website, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is eligible for a maximum trade-in value of ₹92,000, while the iPhone 17 Pro can fetch up to ₹83,500. The final offer may also depend on the phone’s storage capacity.
The iPhone 8 remains the oldest model accepted under the programme, with a maximum exchange value of ₹8,000.
More Samsung foldables added to the list
Apple has added several Samsung Galaxy Z Fold smartphones to its eligible trade-in list. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 can fetch up to ₹63,000. The maximum values for older models are:
- Galaxy Z Fold 4: ₹21,000
- Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G: ₹14,000
- Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G: ₹12,500
- First-generation Galaxy Z Fold: ₹9,000
The list covers Galaxy Z Fold models except the latest Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The exchange values for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 remain unchanged.
The updated list also includes older smartphones from Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco and OnePlus. Apple has not changed the trade-in values for Mac and iPad models in this update, although it recently revised offers for selected devices in these categories.
A report by a technology publication noted that the changes also apply to Apple’s global trade-in programme. In the US, the estimated exchange value of the iPhone 17 Pro Max has reportedly dropped from $885 (around ₹83,000) to $855 (around ₹81,000). Other iPhone models have also seen reductions in their estimated trade-in values.
