iPhone trade in deals deliver cash bonuses ahead of Apple's iPhone 11

It's official. Apple's "By Innovation Only" event will take place on Sept. 10 and with it will come the iPhone 11 collection and possibly new Apple Watches and iPads. With new hardware on the horizon, now is the time to sell your used Apple device for cash with our Apple Watch and iPhone trade in bonuses.

Invites for Apple's Sept. 10 event went out on Aug. 29 and that means new iPhones are about to be announced. The "iPhone 11" collection is rumored to have an additional camera on the rear of each model, with speculation pointing to one model being named the "iPhone 11 Pro".

With the rumored advancement of camera technology in the iPhone 11, users wanting the latest model on release day can put bonus cash toward the purchase by selling their used Apple iPhone devices ahead of time. Leading buyback services are offering AppleInsider readers exclusive bonuses on most trades, with Gazelle and BuyBackWorld offering a 30-day price lock to give you plenty of time to order a new iPhone.

We've rounded up the best trade-in prices for your used iPhone or iPad from BuyBackWorld, Gazelle, Decluttr and MyPhones Unlimited, but these are just a few highlights of the devices accepted by the buyback providers. Each service takes in hundreds more models from Apple and other popular brands in the consumer electronics space, so feel free to check each merchant's website for the trade-in value of your specific device.

Best of all, these buyback providers pay cold hard cash for your used smartphone or tablet, so you can use the money at any retailer you choose — or even put it away for a rainy day — instead of being tied to one retailer via a store credit or gift card.

Quick overview of the exclusive bonuses:
