So, my wife and I went to the Apple Store tonite (Michigan Ave. in Chicago) to get the iPhone 5s. We totally didn't think that our iPhone 4 phones (yes, that's redundant, but "iPhone 4s" and "iPhone 4S" would look too similar) would have any trade-in value, but when the Apple Store guy entered the data from my wife's iPhone 4 -- that it was backed up, Find My iPhone was turned off, etc. -- he found that the phone was eligible for a trade-in of $79. (WOOHOO!!!!)
So, he did the same with my iPhone 4 -- same exact model, bought the EXACT SAME TIME as my wife's, both on the same receipt, from the same SHIPMENT of iPhones (second wave after the first one sold out)....but I was only eligible for a $47 trade-in. The rep didn't know why, nor did the manager on duty.
Why would we get different trade-in values?? Both phones were 100% working condition, not a scratch on 'em...
