Apple looks like shifting from yearly upgrade to 2 year upgrades incentives for the consumers.
First they gave $790 for 12 PM, then $720 for 13 PM.
Apple were giving more trade-in values for new 13 line-up, which is decreasing for new 14 line-up. On the other hand, Apple seems to be offering more generous trade-in prices for the holders of a phone with more than 1 year after announcement.
Side note for yearly upgraders: You get at least $250 more for Pro max version versus regular base. This means that if your final goal is to upgrade this september, then shift 14 PM - 15 PM is equal to shift Iphone 13/14 - 15 PM.
Math:
Buy 14 now $830 - $470 trade-in + 15 PM $1100 = $1460
Buy 13 now $730 - $320 trade-in + 15 PM $1100 = $1510
Buy 14 PM now $1100 - $720 trade-in + 15 PM $1100 = $1480
Just some 0.02 cents for people searching for a phone.
