When that time comes, it helps to get some money for your old device to offset the cost of a new one—especially when that new device is from Apple, whose products tend to hold their value well. If you are thinking of trading in your old Apple product for a new one, there's some good news: Apple just increased its trade-in estimates on a number of devices (while, at the same time, lowering the estimates on others.) As reported by MacRumors , Apple updated its trade-in values for the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch devices on Wednesday.

The Flipper One is described as a pocket-sized ARM device for high-performance computing, IP networking, and on-device AI use. The device is in development, so there is no price or release date as yet. The Flipper One is being built on a Rockchip RK3576 processor and the modular design means it can be expanded.
