Trade-in and payment options
Apple says eligible iPhone 13 or later models can receive instant trade-in credit ranging from $175 to $885, which can also reduce monthly payments.

Apple Card Monthly Installments are offered at 0% APR in the U.S., with 3% Daily Cash earned up front.
Apple also points to carrier offers from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, with credits of up to $1,200 for customers trading in an iPhone 14 Pro Max or later.
Accessories and services
Two first-party accessories are listed: the iPhone Duo Folio, in navy blue or taupe with an adjustable kickstand, and the iPhone Duo Case, in sand or navy blue, which uses a two-part protective design. Apple says both work with MagSafe, Qi2 25W and Qi chargers.

Apple also lists AppleCare One, which in the Individual plan covers two additional devices at the same monthly price as AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, and a Family plan in the U.S. covering eligible products across a Family Sharing group. New and qualified returning subscribers who buy an iPhone Duo can get three months of Apple One free.
