Apple has expanded its US Trade-In program to include six Samsung foldable smartphones, giving customers another option to offset the cost of switching to an iPhone. The update, announced on November 12, introduces maximum trade-in estimates ranging from USD 125 to USD 410 for the newly added Samsung devices.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 carries the highest estimated trade-in value at USD 410, while the Galaxy Z Flip5 has the lowest at USD 125. The move brings Samsung foldable owners into Apple's existing trade-in program, which already accepts selected smartphones from manufacturers including Google and OnePlus.
The six newly added models and their maximum trade-in estimates are:
The estimates are the maximum amounts customers can receive and are subject to the condition, year, and configuration of the device. Eligible smartphones can be exchanged for credit towards a purchase or an Apple Gift Card. Devices that do not qualify for trade-in credit can be recycled free of charge.

Alongside the Samsung additions, Apple has revised trade-in values for several iPhone models. The iPhone 17 Pro Max now carries a maximum estimate of USD 855, down from USD 885, while the iPhone 17 Pro value has fallen from USD 785 to USD 740.
In contrast, the iPhone Air and standard iPhone 17 have seen their maximum estimates increase by USD 30 each, reaching USD 615. The iPhone 16 Plus value has risen to USD 450 from USD 430, while the iPhone 16 now carries an estimate of USD 440, up from USD 430.
Apple has also adjusted values for several older iPhones, Google Pixel smartphones and Apple Watch models. Mac and iPad trade-in estimates remain unchanged from the levels introduced in October.
Apple's trade-in estimates are not guaranteed payouts. The final amount depends on the device's condition, year, and configuration. The company also introduced more detailed condition grading in September, improving offers for devices with minor cosmetic defects that previously faced deductions similar to those applied to more serious damage.
The latest update gives Samsung foldable owners a new route to trade in their devices when moving to an iPhone, while revising the values offered for several existing eligible products.
