The company has begun actively promoting the various iPhone trade-in deals from major US carriers AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon via a new webpage and banner.
Slowing iPhone sales prompted Apple to revert its tough stance on avoiding long-shunned retail tactics, like generous trade-ins, at all costs. In fact, now there’s even an ad for that!
Samsung really wants you to switch to one of the upcoming Galaxy S10 models: a full week ahead of its presser, the company is offering up to $550 off if you swap your iPhone.
The baseline $750 iPhone XR model with 64GB of storage is currently listed on Apple.com in the US at $449, which is a significant $300 less than its official sticker price.
Last year, Apple expanded its recycling program to include the Apple Watch. Now a year later, Apple is offering Apple Store gift cards for qualifying trade-ins of the wearable.
MacRumors is reporting that Apple’s trade-up program for the iPhone, dubbed “Trade Up with Installments”, has expanded to an additional three countries today: France, Italy and Spain.
Customers in these countries can now trade in a used iPhone, Android or Windows Phone smartphone and put the value of that device towards a new iPhone based on a 24-month payment plan.
During the March keynote, Apple emphasized the company’s commitment to reducing its impact on the environment, even including a video of their Liam robot, which carefully takes apart recycled iPhones. Recently, Apple also bolstered their in-store trade-in program, allowing users to bring in older devices for upgrades, receiving credit for their purchase.
As we approach Earth Day, Apple is offering exclusive wallpapers for customers who decide to trade-in their device. Luckily, we can all enjoy their customized wallpapers, as they are hosted on a publicly accessible Apple website via apple.com/recycling/thanks.

T-Mobile’s outspoken CEO John Legere confirmed today on Twitter that his company will be offering an iPhone 6s beginning Friday for as low as $5, $10 or $15 per month, depending on the model being purchased and older iPhone traded in, through its JUMP! On Demand device upgrade program. The lowest $5 per month pricing entails an iPhone 6 trade in, while buying a new iPhone 6s for $10 per month requires trading in your iPhone 5s.
Customers can take advantage of this offer even if they have already pre-ordered their device with a trade-in. Leggier conformed in another tweet that pre-orders of new iPhones at T-Mobile are up thirty percent versus the previous year.
