On average from previous years, how much does the MM and other trade in sites drop after new iPhone goes on sale?

So what I’m maybe thinking is paying off iUP and getting new one and seeing what Apple trade price is, and MM and others.

MM have excellent trade-in prices and they will lock in a valuation for 21 days. If you lock-in a valuation on the 6th September (the day before the expected announcement) you will have until the 27th for MM to receive and assess your phone. IF Apple follow their normal scheduling, pre-orders should be on Friday the 9th September with delivery on Friday the 16th leaving you plenty of time to get your phone to MM.

Personally, I think if you go with MM, you should start locking in a price now, which will be valid for 21 days and then just keep re-locking, if you don't do anything in those 21 days.

Waiting until the day before (i.e. 6th September), I think, you'll be in danger of prices falling dramatically as there will be many more people all looking to do what you're doing, as the new phone looms, causing a price drop.

Looking on Music Magpie right now, they are offering £640 for an iPhone 13 Pro 128GB in Good Condition - on the 3rd August, they were offering £635.

These prices are likely to start dropping, the closer we get to the expected announcement date.

I would not recommend trading it in with Apple. Generally they give poor money.

It’s just the ease that’s all, taking it in and dropping it off. Do MM want the box, cable etc when trading in?

Surely you can’t just keep locking it in and extending and extending it though? Or when you relock in it kicks in at the new lower price?

That’s what I currently have. Good price, just checked and after this months payment I’d have 9 left which comes to around £480 left to pay.

Wonder if anyone in here have ever tracked the average prices for trade in, as we go on. Be worth it for future for checking etc.

Is MM the best/easiest to trade in?

Thanks

Anyone planning to go from Pro Max down to regular Pro?
I question myself every year and always go Max but it's just too big sometimes.

That's my plan this year. I've had the plus/max since they became available, but spending most of my device time in the house on an iPad mini recently I have a yearning for something a bit more pockatable when I'm out and about. That said, if the max ends up with features over the standard pro (bar battery size) I may well end up with that again.

Yeah whenever there are small camera improvements over the regular I always go for the Max. I think I've talked myself into the Max again this year...
I've got a DJI drone so use my phone as the viewfinder so bigger the better for that really...

I’m often tempted by a drone but then wonder if I’d actually use it much after the initial novelty wore off.

Certainly can’t say that about my iPhone. I use it for hours every day. It’s as if it’s attached to my hand.

Happy with ESR too, although I’ve seen a couple of posts referring to poor quality and a tendency for lint to get stuck round the edges. If I do upgrade I might consider a different brand. Keen to stick to one with a black frame though as an unexpected benefit was a total lack of light refraction at the edges which used to annoy me in a dark room!

Yeah I had a few issues with cracks etc. but I think they were a bad batch. I’ll be sticking with ESR for the foreseeable future.

How do you keep “re-locking”? I locked in early on MM last year but couldn’t find a way to extend it. Ended up using Argos trade in instead.

When does MM's valuation drop?
Click to expand...
Last year saw it drop the morning after the keynote and in the week prior. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another drop tomorrow off the back of this news. That said, last year saw ‘UPGRADE21’ go live early September and curiously ‘UPGRADE22’ while not working at the moment simply says expired rather than not recognised so could well be a placeholder

Use an alternative email address to get a new valuation. Get £10 more by using code PHONETEN.
 
Value on iphone 12 pro 256gb i had locked for my other half dropped from £547 to £535.

PHONETEN expires on 31 Aug.

LOL Sod’s Law. Dropped my iPhone and it hit my laptop to crack the screen protector. Right, off to Amazon to order some more.
