On June 5, Apple is planning to introduce a trade-in scheme for a range of new Mac models. Interestingly, this is also the first day of the 2023 edition of Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC); the trade-in scheme, therefore, is an indication that the tech giant will launch new Macs at the 5-day event.

That the Cupertino-based company is planning to begin such a programme for new Macs, is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is its Chief Correspondent on Apple.
According to Gurman, Apple, under the scheme, will accept trade-ins for Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. For instance, the owner of an M2 MacBook Air will be able to trade-in the former and, in turn, obtain credit towards the long-rumoured MacBook Air (15 inch).
