Apple has heavily promoted their trade-in program in recent years, encouraging users to give up their old iPhone in exchange for a discount on a new model. Over a third of Apple Store customers now utilize this program, but it’s left many people wondering why Apple even wants our old iPhones. Which is what I’ll explain in this video.
Spoiler: they resale or recycle them….
Interesting!
You buy for $1000.
You sell back to Apple for $150.
Apple then sell them again for $1000.
iPhone 11 for 300 hundred lol 😂 no way
dam thats a good idea
Get this guy to 1 million
I absolutely love the music background, as well as your clean edits. It’s always a treat watching your videos.
Me who's watching on an Android be like, losers 😂
You’ll find the buying websites will offer more then claim multiple defects and knock the price down. Plus apple is hassle free.
I sold my 8 plus to someone on eBay, he claimed the speakers were broken when they weren’t, eBay took buyers side as they do, so I lost postage both ways and he ruined the cable as more “evidence” despite it being fine when I sent it. So that cost me money to do. Went to a selling website to avoid that again and they offered (to pluck a figure) 350, after they received it they offered 250 claiming it needed a new battery. I haggled back up to 300 claiming if it did I’d do it as apple only charged £50, just took 300 to get rid of it at that point.
When I sold my XS Max I went straight to apple trade in, took the monthly costs down rather than a cash payout. Yes it was less than the other websites were offering but they actually paid that rather than claiming bullshit defects and knocking it down to what would be the apple price anyway 🤷♂️
If you get a decent buyer on eBay or alike that’s probably the best you can do. But I’d use apple over a scammy phone buying website any day
Is this actually real cause I have a iPhone 8
Hmmmm….. So it’s nothing to do with customers wanting to get rid of their old iPhone without the hassle of eBay? And the new car market (when trade-ins are common) is totally different?
But there is the option to buy refurbished devices from apple directly for an lesser price
If you the worst trade in value for your used iPhone, then you goto Apple.
Sounds like everything just benefits apple and not the customer. As much as I enjoy watching your videos I dislike how you're biased you are.
Everyone: Complains about the price of Apple devices.
Also Everyone: Buys Apple devices anyway.
me who doesn't own an iphone 👁️👄👁️
I don't even know how I got here 😂😂
Rip you off on original price then rip you off on trade in price. Most online recyclers offer you double the price offered by Apple.
Recycle the chip. Chip shortage
FYI , India banned 2nd hand iphones longtime back
Greed. Second use iPhone are a big market and cannibalizes new sales
that’s big brain right there!
I think so they can upgrade the old parts for new iPhones and use the old parts for iPhone SE‘s
apple killing our gear with updates since 2003
The real business is called Apple😍
So you are saying i can produce a fake iphone, that looks the same as original from outside, but fill it with rocks and shit and sell it back to company.
^w^
Sell your old iPhone on eBay. That will get you a lot higher amount than giving it back to Apple.
What a lovely video. So simply explained. Not an overly detailed explanation just to drag it until the 10min mark.
He could've easily made a longer video but he just gaves a succinct 2min explanation and I truly appreciate it.
Thank you, you just got a subscriber
You don't even list your sources bro, I heard some other things…
To make the SE phones.
Apple rebates are a JOKE! The amount of $ given back is insulting and only possible cause there is no competition that will take back my old iPhone and give me more than Apple. Built-in, intentional, planned unit degradation by Apple should be investigated – like their batteries…. They are using illegal strategies to cause their devices to degrade and break down on a timeline that dupes the customer into thinking that there is some “other” reason for their phone’s increasingly poor performance and eventual breakdown than PLANNED DEGRADATION, OBSOLESCENCE AND BETRAYAL OF THE CUSTOMER. In my opinion.
I personally thought they were also "mining" materials such as gold and other to resell it (when the phones are almost destroyed or too old) 🤔
I think they just don’t want the old iPhones to be resold so you buy the new one.
a pawn shop will give you more money for your iPhone an Apple will – Now that's saying something. Yeah Apple rips you off every chance they get. I love how they disguise their greed as them caring for the environment.
