Got that used car dealer vibe/pawnshops.

 

[dantracht]

Never ever ever trade anything to apple. Sell it yourself.

 

[madquack]

Sell it on swappa instead. Screw apple’s bogus trade in values. Cheap A$$es!

 

[F23]

hurry up & launch the device subscription service already Timmy boy

 

[roar08]

Wait, the value of these devices *falls* over time?

 

[rpmurray]

Apple finally admitting that what they were selling us before is junk. Well, I guess Apple will now cut the prices on the refurbs (just kidding, they'll probably go up).

 

[KrisLord]

Wait, the value of these devices *falls* over time?

Came to post the exact same thing.

Why would trade in values for older stuff not fall?

 

[seanmcbay]

Poor Apple must be on hard times.

 

[rpmurray]

Wait, the value of these devices *falls* over time?

I know, hard to believe.

 

[cosmos]

Prices on par with your local pawn shop. Thanks, but no thanks.

 

[now i see it]

Trading in to Apple is super lazy

 

[applicious84]

Wow! But some of those are really large drops! Especially because of how much they sell their used stuff for! They better decrease their used prices too. But they won’t…

 

[cpnotebook80]

so my iphone 8 has no change..yay!

 

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

Don’t throw your money out of the window. Always sell your Apple stuff on the second hand markets.

 

[Eggtastic]

I did well on Swappa for 3 of my devices and will continue to use them.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Never ever ever trade anything to apple. Sell it yourself.

Nah. I like the convenience. Order my new phone, get it, send the old one back. It's too easy.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

It seems like Apple doesn’t even want you to trade your old devices to Apple anymore.

You guys act like Apple is a damn charity. Their entire purpose for existing is to make as much money as possible. Same for any business.

 

[antiprotest]

The World is Not Enough

 

[aPple nErd]

Timmy must want more profits on refurbs… Not a good look

 

[FreakinEurekan]

Other than the iMac Pro, these look like reasonable reductions in price over time. And the iMac Pro was, frankly, not worth $1,150

 

[Brookzy]

Oh no I guess I still won’t use it.

 

[jsalda]

I always use my carrier for trade in, sometimes they give insane $$$ for ridiculously old stuff.

 

[antiprotest]

We are not charities either. And it's not like the entire purpose of our existence is to give them money. They have the right to charge whatever they want, and we have the right to complain as much as we want.
