iPhone 17 Pro Max Climbs to No. 1 in Trade-In Rankings

SellCell data shows the iPhone 17 Pro Max has become the most traded-in smartphone, accounting for 11.5% of top-20 trade-ins by early February (up from 5.1% in late November).

The 17 Pro Max depreciates about 7% less than the iPhone 16 Pro Max over 145 days, translating to roughly $95 more retained value, while mint-condition units average about $967.50 in resale. The top-20 devices represent about 47% of trade-in activity, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max also remaining prominent. The trend suggests strong resale pricing amid broader economic factors.

Trade In Old Electronics for Costco Credit With Phobio

Costco’s Phobio-backed trade-in program lets you swap old electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, desktops, media players) for up to $2,550 in Costco shop card credit, with no membership required.

Devices from multiple brands—Apple, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, and others—are accepted, though large appliances aren’t eligible. The initiative promotes repurposing electronics to support safer mineral sourcing and reduce mining demand, while boosting your savings at Costco.
