Apple is now accepting trade-ins of the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra as well as 13-inch MacBook Air and entry-level MacBook Pro models with the M2 chip. The news follows Apple’s recent announcement of a refreshed Mac Studio with the new M2 Ultra and 15-inch MacBook Air with the M2 at WWDC 2023.
Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman was the first to report that Apple plans to start accepting trade-ins of the Mac models mentioned above, which is now the case as the company’s online store resumes functionality following the WWDC 2023 keynote.
Apple updated its trade-in website with a new section for the Mac Studio, which was not available before. The Mac Studio has a maximum trade-in value of $1,500, whereas the MacBook Air trade-in value saw a slight adjustment to accommodate the M2 chip model, now at a maximum of $450.
All cited numbers above represent the maximum possible trade-in value reserved for devices in good working condition with minimal damage. Conditions that affect the final value include the working state of buttons, keyboard, chassis, cameras, battery, screen, and ports.
Apple’s trade-in website provides an interactive tool to help narrow down a device’s estimated trade-in value based on the conditions mentioned above.
