The glorified bean counter is at it again! #TimApple

 

[katbel]

I thought it had to go up, not down

 

[ralph_sws]

that's what it's really worth 😂😂😂

 

[rpmurray]

Apple once again letting us know that what we've been buying all along is crap and not worth anything.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I'm not sure why Apple is being cheap about the Trade-In value. At the end of the day, it is their innovating enriching lives products. This makes me NOT want to go through the Trade-In value program or even Recycle. I blame Apple for that.

 

[Danfango]

If you use these services you’re an idiot. They reach far far higher amounts on eBay and the trade in service tends to make much lower offers than the up to amount.

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

I find this so annoying. Didn't they recently do this a couple or so months ago? I thought the whole purpose of the trade-in program was to promote saving the environment and negate throwing stuff away in the landfills, while getting a discount off new products. The continued "adjustments" (read, degradation) of trade-in values will just discourage people from trading in with Apple and, instead, deal with 3rd parties and hence, more risk.

Stupid.

 

[now i see it]

The penny pinchingness of this trillion dollar company is… (fill in the blank) _ _ _ _ _ _

 

[citysnaps]

That makes sense.

Apparently some people are truly gobsmacked that electronics tech (phones, tablets, computers, TV, radios, watches, etc.) decrease in value over time.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

How is this OK? Apple can’t even meet a $1,000.00 threshold mark.

 

[kid1230]

oh my

 

[ImAlwaysRight]

Only trade to Apple if you enjoy getting the lowest dollar. Best bang for buck is the cell phone companies that offer $800-1000 for iPhone trade-ins. Sure, you are locked to their service for 2-3 years (unless you pay off early), but you would be paying their rates anyway, so why not get a brand new, free iPhone while doing it? I've done this for years and for some models pay $100 because I usually prefer the middle storage option and not the base model. One time I got $1,000 for my old phone, Apple was going to give me $300. No brainer. For other products, definitely resell yourself.

 

[Valkyre]

If they could charge us each time we wake our iphone from sleep, they would do it in a heartbeat…

 

[ninetyCent]

Absolutely atrocious. A company not wanting to buy something back from you for close to the price you bought it at, after you've already made use of it. It's almost like they want to make money.

 

[Bug-Creator]

Mimimimimimi.....whinewhinewhine......

Apple does not resell those directly and if they resell them through 3rd parties, thats 2 parties having to cover cost.

If they send it to recycling they will only get a fraction of these prices back (if there even is money to be made).


-> Apple is not mandated to offer buybacks and you are not forced to use that service

*doh*

 

[ThaGoochiestMane]

On another note, with Google's impending antitrust case how long will it be until Tim Apple gets one himself?

 

[Realityck]

Mac trade-in values remained unchanged or increased by up to $40 depending on the model

Still tough times for consumers that utilize this program.

 

[deebinem]

EVERYBODY! TIME FOR HOT TAKES!

Oh, you're already on it. Carry on...

 

[Yrmmont]

It's getting to the point where WE would have to pay Apple to take their trade-ins away!

 

[steve09090]

Apple once again letting us know that what we've been buying all along is crap and not worth anything.

What a load of rubbish. A product gets older and isn’t worth as much. Who knew?

 

[iamgalt]

Seriously, what was the point of listing the iPad in that list. None of them changed.

 

[jimbobb24]

This must be the inflation everyone is talking about

 

[ppjones]

gamestop be jealous with these trade in values

I can't wait for them to tell me my apple watch ultra is worth $240 as a trade-in in 2 years. 🥲
