Apple quietly lowered almost all highest estimated recycling prices for used iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches.
Yesterday Apple's website showed that the iPhone XS Max's trade-in price is estimated to be as high as $600, but today Apple only offers $500, which is $100 less.
The only devices that haven't been reduced are the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, Mac mini and "Apple Watch" series 1, 2 and 3 generations.
The price adjustment involves markets such as the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Apple has aggressively promoted its "iPhone" trade-in program in its retail stores and websites, and CEO Tim Cook recently claimed that one-third or more of its customers patronize its retail stores to eventually swap out old devices for new ones.
The following is the latest recycling price of used Apple equipment in the United States. The original price is in brackets:
