Apple has unveiled a temporary trade-in programme offering increased value for your old iPhone towards a brand new iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, or iPhone 15 Max

This promotion kicked off on Monday (May 20) and runs until June 3, potentially making it an opportune time to upgrade.

While the exact details remain a little murky, Apple's website confirms you'll receive "extra trade-in credit" when you trade in an "eligible iPhone" for a "new eligible Apple device."

However, specifics regarding which iPhone models qualify for the boosted value and the minimum acceptable condition for trade-in are currently unavailable.

This lack of clarity has left some iPhone users with unanswered questions. They're naturally curious about the increased trade-in amount for their specific device and which models fall under the promotional umbrella. Hopefully, Apple will shed light on these details soon.

Despite the unanswered questions, this programme holds promise for iPhone users considering an upgrade to the latest iPhone 15 lineup. If you're clinging to an older iPhone model, this limited-time offer could be the perfect opportunity to trade it in and save some cash towards a brand new iPhone 15 Pro, Plus, or Max.
