Apple Confirms Vision Pro is Not Eligible for Trade-In

[svish]

Apple should have accepted trade in. Don't know how much Apple would have offered for trade in. Not sure whether it will change in the future. Meanwhile waiting for new Vision Pro in more countries.

What apple is saying to her customers, who spend 5000.- or more, "we sold you CRAP, and no we will NOT take it back"
And it looks like the next one is crap too. Because more and more apple importers refuse to sell it. Like Holland and Belgium even refused the first vision now refusing to sell the second one, and dont give you support on it.
And what IS the "new" vision pro? According to apple "faster then this, faster then that". And excuse they normaly reserve to raise prices for a prodcuct. Inovation?

It’s probably for hygiene/sanitary reasons since it’s on your face. Kind of why they don’t do trade ins for in ear headphones.

Yeah keep telling yourself that’s the reason

And a phone it's not?

And a phone it's not?

My response was keep telling yourself that
It’s for hygiene reasons why it’s not getting traded in so maybe go back and edit the response

Developer strap? That sounds perverted in the context with the no trade in value for customers.

Yeah, it's required for an optimal experience, you can wirelessly debug but that's bad enough for all the other devices tbh. Otherwise, they could have just put a USB C port on it...

Looking at the recent stories, if they paint an accurate picture, it's a bit hard to not be a little down on Apple right now. Apple won't take the first gen AV on trade on anything, iPhone 17 Air sales are virtually non-existent. Apple's A20 chip will be 'significantly' more expensive. Apple's flagship iPhones may have an issue with the anodizing. GM dropping CarPlay in all vehicles. UK putting more demands on Apple, to which Apple will likely cave.

I'm not saying that Apple is going anywhere anytime soon, but things just don't seem to be trending in the right direction right now as I see it.

That and companies like Meta seem to be heading in the right direction with Apple playing catch up. Also, AI etc... it's a weird mess that Apple is in right now.

The most important word here is indeed.. IF.

Remember, stories are just that - stories... and it wouldnt take much effort to collate a similar set of 'things' to say about any other company. Samsung, for example, have just discontinued their ultra slim phone after just a few months on sale.

As a very happy owner of an Air, and knowing the very positive comments from other actual Air owners, I would be surprised if that rather exaggerated statement of 'iPhone Air sales are virtually non-existent' was anything near true - remembering they sold out in China when launched. Sure, the specs of the Air put it 'behind' the pro but dont forget some people like myself couldn't really care less about the single speaker, lower batter life, and single camera system and the overall package of the Air is the most compelling of the line up this year.

Im no Apple apologist, but I dont see this 'trend' - no more than usual and no more than any other company.
