When it comes to trade-in prices for your old iPhone 14 Pro Max, both Samsung and Apple are offering $500 for the device when buying the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra. That figure jumps to $900 if you decide to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is $821 more expensive than the iPhone 16 Pro Max before all discounts and promotions.

The 13 Pro Max still feels fast, takes excellent photos, and easily lasts all day on a full charge even at 88% battery health. The usual improvements you expect from a new iPhone—faster processor, better cameras, longer battery life—would be lost on me in day-to-day use.
