Apple’s US trade-in program now accepts Samsung’s Galaxy Z foldables. Its Android values table lists up to $410 for a Galaxy Z Fold7 and as little as $125 for a Z Flip5. MacRumors first reported the change.
The same update lowered Apple’s estimates for most Pixel phones and trimmed the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. None of the six foldables appeared on Apple’s Android list in a November 2 snapshot of the page.
Apple is plainly courting foldable owners who might switch to an iPhone.
Apple Trade-In Values for Samsung Foldables
- Galaxy Z Fold7: up to $410
- Galaxy Z Fold6: up to $335
- Galaxy Z Fold5: up to $270
- Galaxy Z Flip7: up to $215
- Galaxy Z Flip6: up to $185
- Galaxy Z Flip5: up to $125
These are maximum estimates for phones in top shape. Apple says values depend on condition, year and configuration. You can apply the credit to a new Apple device or take it as an Apple Gift Card. Some devices and values are available only in-store, and online offers can differ from in-store ones.
Pixel Values Drop, With One Exception
Most Pixel owners get less from Apple than they would have earlier this month. Compared with the November 2 snapshot, most models fell by $10 to $20:
- Pixel 9 Pro XL: $280 (was $290)
- Pixel 9 Pro: $265 (was $275)
- Pixel 9: $180 (was $200)
- Pixel 8 Pro: $135 (was $150)
- Pixel 8: $100 (was $115)
- Pixel 8a: $105 (unchanged)
- Pixel 7 Pro: $80 (was $90)
- Pixel 7: $70 (was $65, the only Pixel that went up)
Values for the Galaxy S22 and S21 lines and the OnePlus 12 and 13 didn’t move. The Galaxy S22 Ultra still fetches up to $125, and the OnePlus 13 up to $250.
Apple’s public Android table still stops at the Pixel 9 series and the Galaxy S22. It lists no value for the Galaxy S23 through S26 or for the Pixel 10 and 11. Some values are in-store only or come through Apple’s estimator, so check before assuming a newer phone is excluded.
iPhone Values Move Both Ways
Apple’s own iPhone values shifted too, compared with a November 11 snapshot of its trade-in page:
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: $855 (was $885)
- iPhone 17 Pro: $740 (was $785)
- iPhone Air: $615 (was $585)
- iPhone 17: $615 (was $585)
MacRumors lists further increases for several older iPhones, including the iPhone 16 at $440, up from $430. It also reports that Mac and iPad values haven’t changed since October.
Before You Trade In a Galaxy Foldable
Apple’s figures are a ceiling, not a promise. Compare them with Samsung’s own trade-in offers and your carrier’s before you switch. Carriers sometimes skip the trade-in entirely, as with T-Mobile’s $1,200 off the iPhone Duo for switchers.
Before you ship the phone, back it up, sign out of your Google account and factory reset it. Leaving the Google account on can keep Factory Reset Protection active, which locks the phone to you.
