Apple Trade-In Now Takes the Galaxy Z Fold7 for Up to $410

You can now trade in Samsung foldables with Apple, and the Galaxy Z Fold7 is worth up to $410 toward a new Apple device. The $410 maximum is less than half of the $855 Apple offers for an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the Galaxy Z Flip5 is worth up to $125.

Apple now prices all six Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip models in its Android trade-in values, and the credit works the same way as an iPhone trade-in. The credit goes toward a new Apple device or an Apple Gift Card, and the offer you get depends on the condition of your phone.

iPhone lineup trade-in

Trade in Samsung foldables from $125

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the most valuable of the six at up to $410, and each older generation is worth less. The Galaxy Z Flip phones sit $145 to $195 below the Galaxy Z Fold from the same generation.

  • 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

Every figure is a maximum, and the final offer depends on the condition, year and configuration of your phone. You get an estimate first, so you can see the number before you commit to buying anything.

Sign out of your account before you send the phone in, because staying signed in affects whether the phone qualifies. A foldable that has no trade-in value can still be recycled for free.

iPhone values have moved since September

The iPhone 17 Pro Max now tops out at $855, down from $885 after the September trade-in cuts, and the iPhone 17 Pro is at $740, down from $785. The iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 both reach $615, with the iPhone Air up from $585.

Older models pay smaller amounts, with the iPhone 16 Plus at up to $450, the iPhone 15 Pro Max at up to $445 and the iPhone SE (2nd generation) at up to $45. A Galaxy Z Fold7 at up to $410 lands just below the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 16 Plus.

Trade-in credit has a 14-day window

You can apply the value toward a new Apple device online or in an Apple Store, or take it as an Apple Gift Card. If the value is higher than the price of the new device, the remainder arrives as a gift card by email.

Apple needs to receive your old phone within 14 days of your new device arriving. The whole trade-in process generally takes two to three weeks.
