I tried looking at my upgrade options with ATT but is was only offering me to upgrade my phone on the Next program where I turn in my existing phone and gt the 6 for free. dont think that is a good deal. Trying to figure out how to get around that. Anyone have ideas?
 
Anyone think a craig's list add for a *perfect* flawless unlocked iPhone 5s 32gig @ $600 is unreasonable? I'd include the Spigen case it is in and an OtterBox I bought, but stopped using for it's bulk. Still has it's belt clip too.

Has a year left on AppleCare+, as well.
 
Does anyone know if the credit of $199 from a trade-in could be used towards a phone with a larger than 16gb capacity? This is for Verizon, fwiw.

*edit* Nvm, just learned that the credit can be used towards any phone.
 
Verizon Trade In

From what I understand regarding the Verizon Trade-In Program, the details will go live when the phone does (this is weird to me). When you get to the screen where you select which phone to upgrade, you will be able to click the box that says trade in. You will then send it back and receive a $200 VZ Gift Card you can use towards BILLS! I do not think it is just a card you can use for whatever.

Regarding the "condition" term. I talked to someone and told them mine was cracked and missing a piece of glass on the back. They said I would still get the $200. Like someone said earlier, these companies are hurting themselves by being so quite about what they're offering. No where on VZ's site does it mention this promotion, but it is in fact the real deal.

I hope this helped.
 
Amazon trade in for silver 5s in like new condition is 394.. that's impressive and tempting
 
They missed iCracked. Overall it's the best option I found because they will meet you on launch day and give you a prepaid debit card plus they are giving me more then most of the other quotes I got.

I still have yet to see ANY information on Verizon's site about trading in a 4S for $200.
 
I'm getting conflicting stories on twitter and here w/ att's trade in program. I think i'll still be pre-ordering through apple tonight and take my old iPhone 4s into the store and see what they say.

I don't believe it's trade in credit on the spot towards your new device. I think it's a promo card, some which have said expires in 90 days and can only be used purchasing products at an att retail store. no where else.

Why do you get the same trade-in value for a 64gb and 32gb iPhone 5s? Shouldn't you get more for the 64gb?
 
This is the best link I've found so far for Verizon's iPhone Trade In. It does indeed state that even the 4 will get a $200 credit.

I got here by going to VerizonWireless.com->Support->Searching for "Trade In"->Then clicking on the Support: Trade-In Program that appears as a suggested result before I hit search.
 
Saw nothing on the Apple site for credit if you do not get the battery fix (I have one of the bad ones and haven't gotten around to getting it replaced) before selling the phone back to Apple. I'd read somewhere - probably here - that they would pay more if you didn't make them do the fix before selling. Anyone know about this?
 
Verizon Trade In 4, 4S, 5, 5C, or 5S

I am still in the process of investigating on the news of the Verizon Trade In 4, 4S, 5, 5C, or 5S. From 3 different reps I spoke to within the last 18 hours it seems to be all over the map

This deal is good for both 6 and 6 Plus and all models:

1st Rep (woman) - Stated that I can place the 4, 4S, 5, 5C, or 5S and automatically receive a $200 gift (for online) or $200 credit within the store towards a new activation of a 2 year contract (subsidized). This would extend your contract from year to date and give you $200 off the 2-year pricing.

2nd Rep (male) - Stated that I can place the 4, 4S, 5, 5C, or 5S and automatically receive a $200 gift (for online) or $200 credit within the store towards a new activation of a 2 year contract (subsidized). This would extend your contract from year to date and give you $200 off the 2-year pricing.

3rd Rep (woman) - Stated that I would need to be near my upgrade date to qualify. My upgrade date for my wife's line shows (iPhone 5) 11/15/14 and my line shows 10/19/15 (Galaxy Nexus now, but sold my iPhone 5S on eBay). She stated that I was eligible for early Edge Program. She also stated that they would take $200 off the top of the retail pricing. She mentioned that I am eligible for Early Edge program, but would not get the $200 off from Retail price.

I will keep you guys posted....

I have a 32GB verizon with a small crack in the top right corner of the glass. The crack can't be more then 2-3cm. I assume all of these trade in programs are for untracked screens... or am i wrong? whats my best option?
