Now that there is a trade-in, what about damaged phones...

[dsr2]

Long time follower, first time poster. Loads of great info here. I've had an iphone 4 for about 3 years and it's a monster. Survived all my klutziness to still work perfectly...except for a dead power button. Been using the standard Accessibilty work around for a bit and was wondering if Apple would still give me something for it if I want to trade up to the 5 or 5S or whatever is coming out.

Any prognosticators out there?

I've read that damage will be considered when determining a trade-in value

Thanks for the info. At some point I will want a new phone and it's nice to know I might be ableto get something for it.

Not sure what Apple will give you but your best bet will be selling on eBay.

Whatever amount you get from Apple will be deeply discounted if it's not fully functioning.
