Apple's Aggressive iPhone 13 Pro Max Trade-In Offers Spark Speculation
A recent social media video has sparked discussion regarding Apple's current trade-in programs, specifically focusing on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. A user, identified as @motiv8_tray, observed what he described as "desperate" efforts by Apple to acquire iPhone 13 Pro Max devices, citing promotional offers of up to $1100-$1200 for trade-ins. The user questioned Apple's motivations, stating, "Why in the hell do Apple want everybody that has an iPhone 13 Pro Max, why they want y'all to trade them phones in so bad?" He further highlighted that similar high-value trade-in offers do not appear to be extended to newer models such as the iPhone 14, 15, or 16. This observation led him to speculate about a potential "agenda" or a unique, unstated quality associated with the iPhone 13 Pro Max that makes it particularly desirable for Apple to reclaim. The video has prompted viewers to consider if there is a specific reason behind these targeted trade-in incentives for the older model.
