Many Apple products can use the trade-in program (Trade In), so for those who want to save money, those who will not use the old machine again, or those who don’t know how to dispose of the old machine, they must check how much they can discount , but some Apple products may depreciate faster than you can imagine, especially if the price is high. Recently, some foreign netizens shared that the 1.58 million Mac Pro he bought a few years ago can only be discounted to less than 30,000 Taiwan dollars by using the exchange plan.
How much is the Mac Pro bought for NT$1.58 million worth now?Less than 30,000 foreign netizens tried
MKBHD’s technology reporter David ImeI shared a tweet about Apple’s trade-in program on Twitter a few days ago. He mentioned that he spent $52,199 (approximately NT$1.58 million) to buy a Mac Pro computer three years ago. In the exchange plan, only the value of US$970 (approximately NT$29,000) is left, which means that in just three years, his Mac Pro has depreciated by 98%. He also asked netizens at the end of the tweet: “In addition to cryptocurrency , what else would depreciate at such a rate?”

Unexpectedly, a Mac Pro with more than one million dollars can not be exchanged for an iPhone 14 Pro standard version (128GB storage space and 6GB RAM standard version costs $999). Some netizens also replied that he is willing to spend $1,000 higher than Apple to buy this Mac Pro computer (I can too). And from this case, it can be clearly seen that the evaluation value of Apple’s redemption plan is really a bit ridiculous, and the probability is far lower than if you go out to sell it or find a store to buy it:
What is even more exaggerated is,It is written in the introduction page of Apple’s replacement plan, Mac Pro can be discounted up to NT$37,500, but the asking price of 1.58 million does not meet the specifications. It is a bit hard to imagine how much Mac Pro will cost to discount such a high price? :
If the Mac Pro is more than 5 years old, it is understandable that the replacement value is so low, but this one is only 3 years old, and now the Mac Pro of the same model price can be found on Apple’s official website, so it is not old at all, but David ImeI did not elaborate What are his Mac Pro specs.
Some netizens jokingly said: “My 16-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro is worth more than this, do you want to exchange it?”:
So, friends who are interested in using Apple’s trade-in program (Trade In) in the future, you can first check Apple’s estimated value of your device, but don’t forget to ask the purchase store in the imitation room, I guess most of them should They are all higher than Apple. Of course, if you sell them at auction, you will definitely get the best price.
The current Mac Pro was launched by Apple in December 2019. It has been 1,139 days and it hasn’t been updated for a long time. Therefore, there have been related rumors recently.At the beginning of the month, foreign media said thatthe appearance of the new Mac Pro is expected to be the same as the Intel version, but it may not be able to upgrade the RAM by itself, because the processor will be replaced by Apple Silicon.
