Apple Launches 2025 Earth Day Promotion With Discounted Accessories

Apple today launched an Earth Day promotion that offers customers 10% off eligible Apple accessories when they recycle eligible devices at participating Apple Stores. The offer is available from today through May 16 in many countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, and others.

Trade in Feature 3
Keep in mind that this promotion seems to be geared towards devices that are not eligible for trade-in credit at Apple Stores. The idea is that you can help the planet by bringing in old electronics to Apple for free recycling, as has long been possible, but now with the added bonus of receiving 10% off an accessory for a limited time.

The offer is available at physical Apple Store locations only. Each customer may recycle up to five eligible devices for a promotional discount on eligible accessories. Recycling of the eligible device and purchase of an eligible accessory must be completed in the same transaction. Full terms and conditions can be found on Apple's website.

Eligible devices for recycling, according to Apple:

  • AirPods
  • AirPort
  • AirTag
  • Apple TV
  • Computers
  • Displays
  • Hard Drives & Storage
  • Headphones & Speakers
  • HomePod
  • Mice & Keyboards
  • Networking
  • Printers & Scanners
  • Smartphones
  • Tablets
  • Watches
  • iPod

Accessories eligible for the 10% discount:

  • AirPods 4
  • AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
  • AirTag (1-pack)
  • AirTag (4-pack)
  • Apple Pencil
  • Apple TV 4K
  • HomePod mini
  • Apple Watch bands
  • Apple-branded adapters, cables, and chargers
  • Apple-branded iPhone and iPad cases
  • Magic Mouse
  • Magic Trackpad
  • Magic Keyboard (excluding the iPad version)

While a 10% discount is not massive, Apple rarely offers direct savings on its products beyond its annual Back to School and Black Friday events.

Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22.

Devil's advocate: maybe this incentive to encourage recycling of electronics that otherwise might end up in a landfill one day has a net gain over the accessories sold.

Just floating the possibility.

10% ?
Basically Apple is discounting the prices on virtually all of their accessories by 10% — and at a time when most places are raising their prices.

Good to see a flat discount on all the products instead of varying/lower amounts on products having lower price tag.
