Apple increases trade-in offers and adds new Android devices
↗
Apple raised trade-in credits for many of its own devices, added several recent Android phones to the program, and lowered credits for a few older Android models.
The trade-in platform’s pricing tables and UI must be refreshed to reflect the new values, otherwise customers will see outdated offers. Adding new Android models expands the device catalog, requiring new identifiers, validation rules, and inventory handling. Reduced credits for some older Android phones mean legacy pricing logic must be adjusted to avoid over-paying.
