iPhone Trade-In Program Officially Launching Today at UK Retail Stores

This reminds me of a crappy main dealer offering a poor trade-in for your 2 year old model you bought from them.

You know you can do better and you know it's not their main business (to sell second hand cars...) so all they want to do is attract a few more buyers by offering a seamless handover.

So take the same line and sell elsewhere, its less convenient but meh u save cash.

It's laughable!! I don't need a new iPhone, but I was going to get one for my mother. Her old iPhone 3G is, well, old..
So I filled in the details to see what it's worth as a trade in..

£3.75!! lol :rolleyes:
(Thats about $5 to you Merkins)

Ok, it's getting on a bit. But it works! £3.75?? Really?? I'd rather blend it for that money.

Yeah, it's a bit of a p*ss take. I got a quote on the apple website for my iphone 4 which has a hairline crack on the rear glass... £6.50!??!
 
iPhone 4 32GB Black - excellent condition

Price offered by Apple/Dataserv £36.75?

You have to be kidding me! These trade in prices are ridiculous.


I would have thought Apple would have offered more realistic / competitive prices. These phones can show Apple real-life wear and tear after 2-3 years of use (ie the full product life-span). This data should help them design more robust and reliable devices in future.

Anybody ever part exchanged their old car? This is exactly the same. The garage offer you less than its worth because they will want to sell it for a profit. You trade in because it's less hassle than selling privately or even keeping 2 cars road legal for a few weeks (tax, insurance etc). You all know the garage never give you the best deal.
Apple are doing the same. You don't have to take the offer. It's their for people who don't want to (or can't be bothered) to use other means. Take it or leave it. I know what I'll be doing when the iPhone 6 comes out.

Yes I have part exchanged my old car, but the deal if I part exed my current car I would get around £5255, if I sold it privately I would get around £5000-£5850 (source:parkers Used Car Guide) If I exchanged my iPhone 4s 16gb I would be offered around £15. I sold it on Ebay for £180.
Apple are more like webuyanycar.com who would give me £3345 for my minimum £5k car.
