Gotta save some money for dem tariff.

 

[Mactech20]

Golly! I should jump on this for my 13 mini, 10 more dollars!!

 

[thejadedmonkey]

Does this mean back to school sales will be starting June 19th?

 

[klasma]

Sales numbers for the quarter not looking good enough?

 

[Macbookey]

Good old fashioned Tim Cook and former CFO Luca Maestri style innovation. How about a truly amazing device that surprises and delights to gain upgrade numbers, instead of staggered predictable releases that squeeze the best margins. Customer ROI is the metric that should be respected.

 

[FatLouie]

Yeah, I am thinking the same thing...sales must really suck at the moment. It is not a hard choice between a phone that attempts to do everything in the world, except your nails...or do you buy food and gas.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Stick with what you own, but if not, don't trade it in to Apple.

 

[Innovati0n]

Sales are always slower this time of year, a lot of armchair analysts seem to think this is new shocking info

 

[turbineseaplane]

NO WAY JOSE!

Can't pry my 13 Mini away from me

 

[nathansz]

they'll never get my 12 mini!

as long as it continues to work I will not switch it for a larger phone

if it completely died today I guess I'd buy a 13 mini

Funny, I get emails everyday from a number of companies that are putting merchandise on sale. The news flash is the economy sucks, has sucked for the last two years, will continue to suck, and businesses are doing what they can to get inventory off the shelf. Has nothing to do with my armchair.

 

[repoman016]

Its a Memorial day reverse sale!!!😂

While true, sales are down across most industries and markets. Fast food and restaurants sales are down, as are retail, home sales (prices are starting to drop here), durable goods, cars. Even if the economy is (sorta) doing okay, people are feeling uneasy and uncertain, and closing their wallet until things level out. Apple is not an exception.

That's what the wife and I have done. Our expenses are down and our pay is up, but we've decided to not upgrade any tech, appliances or vehicles for the foreseeable future.

That said, Apple has done this before.

Maybe they will buy up old iPhones as the source of raw materials for new iPhones.

There is still a lot of value in those old phones if you have a streamlined refurbishment/recycling process.

Increasing trade in values around this time of year might start to be a regular thing now. Apple did it in May 2024

A big difference this year, though, is it's being offered in more countries (U.S., Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, U.K., and China), while in 2024 it was just the U.S. and Canada, and in 2023 it was just the U.S.

Tim Cook is a Craigslist lowballer.

I do not recall where I read this, but several years ago Apple had stated they recovered between 300 million and 400 million dollars a year on reclaimed precious metals and other items from turned in phones and ipads. That is a pretty healthy chunk of change.

Sounds like they could afford to offer more appealing trade in prices!

Same here. I decided last week to not purchase a Studio Mac and Benq Monitor that I had strong intentions to previously buy. With ground beef at $10 USD a pound, eggs at $4 USD a dozen, I can live with the electronics I have at the moment.

edit: wording

 

[2low_tech]

These trade in "increases" are comical. I'm sure that extra $10-$20 increase will move sales.

 

[digimc]

Interesting how the iPhone 12 family saw some of the biggest trade-in increases.

 

[Ramchi]

For iPhone 15 Pro Max $650 is very low! You may able to sell better in the used phone market. iPhone 15 Pro Max 512 GB was sold at $2100 in my place. This is deep discount within 1 1/2 years!

 

[nathansz]

hamburger at $10 USD a pound

do you mean ground beef? that is insane. surprised people are still eating meat at that price!

They don't go for that much in the US, and a quick look at Swappa shows the 15 Pro Max are selling for about a hundred dollars more if in good to mint shape.

I still wouldn't trade in with Apple, but I also wouldn't be upgrading a 15, either.
