A new report sheds some light on Apple’s third-party partner for online trade-ins, Phobio, and the company’s less-than-stellar online reputation.
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.
Apple has quietly slashed the top estimated trade-in values across the iPhone family, as well as for iPads and some MacBook and Apple Watch models.
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!
What’s your Apple device worth? Whether an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Mac, here’s how to find the estimated value with Apple GiveBack.
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.

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.
