Jan. 20, 2022If you are planning to upgrade to an iPhone or any Apple product in exchange for an Android smartphone, chances are that you might be disappointed.

It is reported that Apple has changed the trade-in value of a number of Android phones listed on its website. The list mainly comprises the Samsung Galaxy S and Note series and the Pixel phones. We also have access to theold trade-in values and the difference is drastic. It seems like Apple doesn’t care if you own just a year-old phone and still considers it almost worthless.
TheSamsung Galaxy S21 5G now has a trade-in value of $260(the earlier value was $325), while the Galaxy S21+ 5G has a value of $325, as opposed to the previous value of $435.
