Apple Celebrates Heart Month With Extra Trade-In Savings on Apple Watch

[MacRumors]

February is Heart Month, and Apple is marking the occasion by offering slightly higher trade-in values on older Apple Watch models in the United States.

A new banner added to Apple's website says customers can get a new Apple Watch Series 6 for as low as $239 after trade-in of an Apple Watch Series 4 in good condition, or a new Apple Watch SE for as low as $199 after trade-in of an Apple Watch Series 2 in good condition. These are only two examples, with many other combinations possible.

The new trade-in values are as follows:

• Apple Watch Series 5: Up to $200 (up to $190 previously)
• Apple Watch Series 4: Up to $160 (up to $150 previously)

• Apple Watch Series 2: Up to $80 (up to $60 previously)
• Apple Watch Series 1: Up to $40 (up to $35 previously)

Apple has also tweaked the trade-in values of some iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android smartphone models. We've listed some examples below.

• iPhone 11 Pro: Up to $460 (up to $450 previously)

OH wow, $10 - Sell on swappa or Macrumors marketplace

 

[Rochy Bay]

This company has a heart? Lol

 

[hunter.cortez]

What a joke of a trade-in program. $270 for an iPhone XS? Samsung offered me $350 for my iPhone X. It's going for $370 on eBay! Apple is a company that doesn't value their own products.

 

[Digital Dude]

In the encyclopedia listing for 'Scrooge,' there should be a footnote (see Tim Cook)

 

[thadoggfather]

OH wow, $10 - Sell on swappa or Macrumors marketplace

im worried Apple might not be able to keep the lights on with a deep discount like that.

 

[Johnny907]

Wow, 5-10 bucks on top of their notoriously lowball trade in offers.
That’s mighty generous for a trillion dollar company with “heart.”

 

[azentropy]

How about an Apple Watch 4 with a smashed screen?

 

[jav6454]

$10 only for an S4? No.

 

[4jasontv]

This reminds me of the Echo trade in program. The value of an old device is greater than the compensation.

 

[oliversl]

I hope they can enable all features of Apple Watch outside USA

 

[CoolBradG]

When I first saw this article I was excited to finally trade my S4 in for an S6. However, I was quickly disappointed when I saw the value only increased by $10.

 

[svanstrom]

So, yeah, locally (??) I'd get 11.47% discount if I trade in my series 5 SS (Mil. loop) for a series 6 of the same.

That's a joke.

 

[ilikewhey]

lol no thanks, i'll keep my s4, for my day to day, the s6 doesn't really bring much improvement if any over my s4.

 

[icanhazmac]

Traded my 40mm Series 3, value was a little low but I figure its better than dealing with a private sale.

What a joke of a trade-in program. $270 for an iPhone XS? Samsung offered me $350 for my iPhone X. It's going for $370 on eBay! Apple is a company that doesn't value their own products.

How much do fees and shipping end up costing?

 

[jumpcutking]

Sorry I will be waiting for the next watch to be released!

That's all I'm saying.

How much do fees and shipping end up costing?

Also, It makes sense - they want to keep their latest products valued high and Xs is many generations behind.

 

[Mr. Dee]

I am using my Apple devices until they have no value then keep them as collectors items.

 

[7thson]

I am using my Apple devices until they have no value then keep them as collectors items.

I keep thinking I’m going to do that and then I just keep chasing the dragon. At least I know better than to trade in with Apple. Talk about leaving money on the table...

 

[dwaltwhit]

Like. Why this convuluted business? Just reduce the prices of the watches $10 or $20.

 

[boss.king]

Lol. I saw the headline and thought "wow, I should upgrade my S3 right now" and then I saw it was only a $10 difference.

 

[doboy]

Feb is Heart month? I thought it was Black History month?

 

[MrPresident]

Have they changed in the UK? My series 2 only gets forty bob.

 

[SirAnthonyHopkins]

OH wow, $10 - Sell on swappa or Macrumors marketplace

Where is the Macrumours marketplace?

 

[SirAnthonyHopkins]

Have they changed in the UK? My series 2 only gets forty bob.

I'm in the UK and got an email earlier, checked it and it's offering me £150 for a series 4, so doesn't seem to have changed.
