Smartphone prices have been climbing along with the cost of most electronics, which could make now a tough time to buy something new. At the same time, older devices are holding their value better, and Apple has responded by raising its trade-in offers on the US site.
Many older iPhones are now valued a little higher than they were just days ago. The previous figures came from the Wayback Machine capture dated May 27, 2026. Some models gained only $10, while others rose by $25 or even $35. This shift suggests Apple is trying to incentivize upgrades as new device costs remain high.
