iPhone Trade In

Apple said starting Friday that it would give customers credit for functioning older models at Apple Stores. The credit can be used toward the purchase of a new iPhone, which will be activated in the store. It didn’t say how much older phones would be worth. But other brokers such as Gazelle.com offer anywhere from $10 for a working iPhone 3G to $350 for an iPhone 5 that is in pristine condition. Similar trade-in programs are run by retailers including Best Buy, Target and Radio Shack. This is going to be a great deal but I cannot see them offering that much for the older versions of the iPhone even if it is in perfect condition and the phone services are working great. What do you think of this trade in? Are you going to be in line waiting for the new iPhone?

  1. Trading in your iphone is a great way to save some money for the phone services you will be using.

  2. Using an older iPhone for phone services and gaming is what I do instead of trading mine in.

  3. The trade in wont pay for the first bill of phone services you ring up. Big rip off.
