So today I received an email from Apple advising that I should check out their trade in plans. I have had apple products for over 25 years and have never traded anything in so I thought lets see what the deal is. I entered the information for my base M1 (2020) Mini and guess what......Great news for the planet...... Apple will be happy to recycle this wonderful computer of mine. It's a win-win according to Apple. Wow!
Got a tip for us?

Whooo! Where you trading in as if you were buying a new product? I got a $535.00 offer on my 2018 iPP 12.9" for a 2021.
I presume they haven't put the M1's on the database thinking no-one will be trading in one of those yet. I would trade my M1 Mac mini for an M1 MacBook later this year.
This is correct.
The M1 is a current model and therefore not eligible for a trade in (yet).
Once the M1 is replaced by a M1x or M2 or whatever Apple calls the next model, the M1 trade in will be available - typically at around 50% of the retail price.
Then if you wait too long, then the trade in becomes $0 and you get "free recycling"....
