Apple Now Accepting Trade-Ins of Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro

Apple is now allowing customers to trade-in a Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro for credit towards new Apple product purchases.

As part of Apple's trade-in program, customers can trade in a Mac Studio and receive up to $1,500 of credit towards purchasing a new product. Apple is also offering up to $450 for a 13-inch M2 MacBook Air and up to $775 for a 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro.

Apple determines the exact value of the traded-in product depending on its condition, such as if it has scratches or dents, and if it functions correctly. If a customer has a device not included on Apple's list of trade-in devices, the company will also recycle it for free. More information can be found on Apple's trade-in page.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in late May anticipated the trade-in policy change would happen on June 5, the same day that WWDC 2023 kicked off.

I bought the $1999 Mac Studio last year. It's quoting me $1050 for trade-in.
I guess that's not too bad, though there's no way I'd replace this beaut so quickly.

Yes, but the trade-in experience will feel 'magical!'



Ridiculous trade-in values... That's what I was saying the other day.
Macs now lose their value so quickly!
They don't lose their value quickly, Apple has always been horrid with their trade-in values. Always sell it yourself if you want max value.

Good to know. But one can get better price by selling it somewhere else.

I feel seriously screwed....I pulled the Trigger a month ago on a $5700 Mac Studio because Mark Gurman said Apple wasn't going to release a new one with an M2 this year. I decided I wasn't going to wait another year. I really wanted the M2 to drive an 8K display. Last week Gurman comes out saying the M2 Studio was going to happen, and I quickly checked to see if I was still in my return window from Apple. I was ONE day out of the window, so I'm stuck with it. Laughable that Apple would be happy to give me $1500 for something they just took $5700 for.
First, you made an actual financial decision on the musings of a rumor chimp?

Second, go to Apple, today if possible, and check if you can return outside the window. They might make an exception. I wouldn't mention Gurman, just that you didn't know a new one would be released so soon. Be polite, and, if one store says no, it's worth trying a second or third. I suspect there's some room for discretion in their policies.

Still, don't be too surprised if they come back with noes across the board.
