Currently, Apple takes back your iPhone for a fee, but the prices are obviously changing and not in a good way.
For any purchase of a new Apple device, the manufacturer offers a recycling system called Trade In which allows you to return your old iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch for a fee. A good way for the consumer to be able to save precious euros and above all to cushion a little the price of the manufacturer’s products which are quite high.
Apple, a decline in recovery to be expected
If Apple reserves the right to readjust its price list for the recovery of its products, be aware that recently, the tech giant has reassessed the price of recovery of eligible iPhones, with a nice drop in the program. It can even go up to 80 dollars. Thus in the USA, the iPhone Pro Max now brings 570 dollars against 650 dollars previously. The iPhone 13 Pro will fetch you up to $470, up from $550 before the change. In short, the consumer is clearly the loser. Certainly for the moment this does not affect France but there is little chance that Europe will be spared by this change, which may even be even more important.
With us, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is priced at 650 euros and the 13 Pro at 575 euros, but that may not last. Conversely, Apple has revised the trade-in of an Apple Watch Series 7 a little higher by $5, but you will get $5 less for an Apple Watch SE. If you want advice, don’t wait too long if you want to get your iPhone back because everything could change in the coming weeks.
Have you ever used the Trade In system from Aapple? If so, are you satisfied with the amount of the recovery of your old phone?
