Trade-ins and other promotional deals have been a norm when purchasing a new iPhone in the past few years. As prices of premium smartphones have gone up, trade-in deals and installment payments allow customers to get a shiny new device without breaking the bank.

It’s a win not only for the customer but the carrier and Apple as well.
