"The inciting event seems to have come from the iPhone 17 launch as Apple marketing chief Greg "Joz" Joswiak lists pricing for the new models. "We also have amazing offers from Apple and our partners," he says. "You can get up to $1,100 off when you trade in an iPhone 13 Pro or newer." A few of the videos I saw on TikTok clipped this very moment from the keynote as evidence."
"On top of that, Apple isn't out here handing out $1,100 discounts to anyone with the 13 Pro. If you trade in a 13 Pro Max and purchase an iPhone 17 directly from Apple, you'll only get up to $320 back for your old phone. Trade in a 16 Pro Max and you'll get a $700 discount. That big $1,100 deal comes from the carriers, as it almost always does."
TikTok videos promoted the idea that Apple is offering up to $1,100 trade-in discounts specifically for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The origin of the claim traces to an iPhone 17 keynote line noting offers for trading an iPhone 13 Pro or newer. Apple’s official retail trade-in values are far lower: trading a 13 Pro Max to Apple for an iPhone 17 yields up to $320, and trading a 16 Pro Max yields roughly $700. The $1,100 figure is a carrier promotion that requires enrollment in premium plans. Similar messaging has accompanied prior iPhone launches.
