How to preorder the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max
Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max are available for preorder. Each phone will release on September 20th, and buying one now ensures that you’ll receive one on launch day.
Unlike Samsung and most other phone makers, Apple doesn’t offer much in the way of preorder incentives for its phones, and the iPhone 11 models are no exception. However, trading in your old iPhone may knock a decent chunk off of the final price for a new iPhone, depending on its overall physical condition.
Apple shared that the iPhone 8 Plus will be worth up to $300 of credit if you trade it in for a new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max. The iPhone X will be worth $400. Below, you can find Apple’s current slate of trade-in values.
