Data from Q1 2026 suggests the iPhone 17 Pro Max is currently at its peak resale plateau (~$900-$980). However, history shows a "mid-cycle slump" often hits in April, potentially erasing 8-10% of value ($80+) as supply chains normalize. Locking in a trade-in offer today protects you from this seasonal correction for 30 days.
| Feature | Specification | Impact on Trade-in Value |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | A19 Pro (3nm) | Very High. The 12GB RAM configuration for AI makes this the most liquid asset in the resale market. |
| Camera System | Triple 48MP (Tetraprism) | Very High. Buyers specifically upgrade for the 48MP telephoto lens, keeping values near MSRP. |
| Display | 6.9" Super Retina XDR (120Hz) | High. The massive screen size commands a premium, provided there are no deep scratches. |
| Storage | 256GB / 512GB / 1TB | Moderate. 512GB is the sweet spot for video creators, adding ~$50–70 over base models. |
