iPhone 17 Pro Max trade-in pricing
With an iPhone 17 Pro Max trade-in, the 12-month iPhone Duo lease is listed at $9.24 per month. The 24-month term is shown at $21.12 monthly.
Apple Upgrade also gives customers the option to buy the device when the lease ends. The source says the total cost with a later purchase will not exceed the original list price, and that the trade-in credit remains applied if the customer buys the iPhone Duo.
Users who trade in the iPhone Duo after one or two years to move to another model would face higher monthly payments because the previous device’s trade-in discount would no longer apply. The source mentions an iPhone 20 Pro as a possible future model but describes it only as rumored.
