I think this is just worded poorly. What they meant is that you can trade in an iPhone 13 Pro or newer, and when you trade in an iPhone, you can get up to $1100. That doesn't mean you'll get $1100 for an iPhone 13 Pro, just that you can get $1100 for probably a 16 Pro, but 13 Pro owners still get something instead of nothing.
It is not worded poorly. It’s marketing. Someone might go to the Apple Store to trade in and even though the won’t get that $1100 they might just upgrade anyway since they are there already and seeing all the new shinies. It’s a strategy to get people into the door.
