Apple Trade In Now Takes Samsung Foldables, Up to $410 for a Fold7
Apple's US trade-in programme now accepts six Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models, with the Galaxy Z Fold7 worth up to $410, while iPhone 17 Pro credit falls to $740.
Apple Trade In Samsung foldables support is now live in the US. In an update spotted on 12 November 2026, Apple added six Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip models to its trade-in list, with the Galaxy Z Fold7 worth up to $410 in credit toward a new Apple device. The same refresh lowered credit for the iPhone 17 Pro and several Google Pixel phones.
Apple Trade In Samsung Foldables: The Values
Before this update, Apple's Android list leaned on regular slab phones from Samsung and Google. Now six folding Galaxy phones sit on it, and the numbers below are Apple's maximum estimates for a device in good shape.
| Samsung foldable | Apple Trade In credit (US) |
|---|---|
| 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 |
The list stops at last year's Fold7 and Flip7. Owners of the newer Galaxy Z Fold8, which is leading the foldable market right now according to recent market data, will have to look elsewhere for the time being.
iPhone and Pixel Credit Also Changed
Apple shuffled the rest of the table at the same time. The iPhone 17 Pro drops from $785 to $740, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max slips from $885 to $855. Going the other way, the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 both rise from $585 to $615.
Pixel owners mostly lose out. The Pixel 9 falls from $200 to $180, the Pixel 9 Pro from $275 to $265 and the Pixel 8 from $115 to $100. The Pixel 7 is the odd one out, edging up $5 to $70. Mac and iPad values did not move.
How the Credit Works
The credit can go toward a new Apple purchase or be taken as an Apple Gift Card. Apple says it must receive the old phone within 14 days of you getting the new device, and the final offer depends on condition, year and configuration, so a Fold with a worn crease or scuffed hinge will fetch less than the headline figure.
How It Compares With the iPhone Duo Price
The timing lines up neatly with Apple's own foldable. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 in the US, so a Galaxy Z Fold7 at full value knocks about a fifth off the bill. A Flip5, at $125, barely dents it.
Our Opinion
This is a small change on a web page, but the message is loud. Apple wants Galaxy foldable owners, and it is putting real money on the table for the most recent ones. If you have a clean Fold7 and the iPhone Duo has caught your eye, $410 is a fair starting point, though Samsung's own trade-in deals and the resale market can pay more for a near-new Fold, so get a second quote first. Flip owners get a weaker deal; $125 to $215 is modest against a $1,999 phone. Our view: worth checking if you were already leaning toward the Duo, but not a reason on its own to leave Android.
