Apple Slashes Trade-In Values for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and More

[Gudi]

lol. Yeah, that's it. Definitely not those $100k+ jobs.

That's really small change for a drug dealer. Throw the iMacs out and put cocaine into the boxes and you earn more in one day with one trip across the border. Only an idiot would build a computer, if all he wanted to achieve was making money. The bitcoin guys, they only wanted to get rich. Non-Fungible Token (NFTs) that's also a get-rich-quick scam. Macs are for life!

Imagine getting $630 back for an 8TB model MBP.

My complaint is have the stuff in STOCK so people can take advantage of the higher trade not lower it when there is no product to buy.

 

[maxoakland]

That’s super lame, for a company that can surpass the value of the biggest companies in the world

It was already not a great value and now it’s really bad.

I’m definitely going to be buying a used Mac next time. I don’t think Apple is worth supporting right now

 

[MacClueless]

Sell it on swappa

Apple this week lowered its trade-in values...

This will have the effect of lowering the street prices of used Apple Gear. Good News if you are like me and like to buy used stuff.

My latest is a 2014 Mac Mini with soldered own SSD for $135. I need it to run one app that need Intel CPU.

Every transaction has two parties. Lowering the price makes exactly half the people involved happier.

And they wonder why more people are holding onto their devices longer.

 

[spazzcat]

Trading in to Apple is super lazy

People also fail to factor in opportunity costs for the extra $100 - $200. For me, it isn't worth it to deal with any drama or extra work in getting a box and paying for shipping.

Dont worry, Reverend Tim Kane is guiding his sheeps through these dark days!😅

I think people realize smartphones have kinda maxed out on what they can do. A dynamic island is not going to cut it for most people or a iPhone 14 that's really a 13s.

 

[reggavegga]

My MAIN reason for getting 14 pro instead of keeping the 13 pro is the trade-in value for it next year to get the 15 pro.

Do remember guys that Apple outsourced the trade ins to other companies. So this can mean that there are so many used Apple products at this point that their value has diminished. We don't live like the early iPhone days when it's only available in few select countries. iPhones are abundant now, with so many 3rd parties even selling used/refurbished iPhones. In the end, a trade-in company values things in how much margin they can get re-selling/refurbishing those used phones. The more iPhones out there, the lesser their values.

 

[jerryk]

How do these prices compare to 3rd party buyers and trade-ins? With Macs you can get more from 3rd parties.

Apple sure has become a greedy company. I looked at the trade-in values of some Mac Pros on eBay. $1200 for a 12 core model that they still sell for $8,599. They're offering $2100 for a 24 core model that they still sell for $14,599 new. No doubt those will go straight to the refurb store for more profits.

Every day is another chance to try to squeeze the lemon harder over at Apple HQ

Dude, no one wants Mac Pros in 2022. M1 Minis outpace it

 

[ackmondual]

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.

I wonder how many will continue saying this when they announce things like "we want to be more like Google so we can make more money"

Listed does not mean completed sale, but some iPhone 14 Pro Max models sold for over $6,000 on eBay over the launch weekend and a bunch more for over $2,000. I had an extra one to sell but to avoid the hassle I just returned it to Apple.
