Today, smartphone prices are constantly rising due to factors like increasing costs and inflation. This pushes many of us to reduce costs by selling our old phones before buying new ones. But in our fast-paced world, where everyone is constantly busy, this can be a time-consuming task. There are a few different ways to sell your old phone. You can sell it to someone directly, take it to a phone store and get scammed, or trade it in to a company that offers this service. Moreover, Apple now gives higher trade-ins for your Android. Here are the details…

Samsung’s Trade-In Program Is Still the Best, Even With Apple’s Recent Improvements

Campaigns that encourage people to trade in their old items for new ones are very common in US. Even Apple offers discounts to customers who buy both iOS and Android devices, creating a form of recycling and saving money for both buyers and sellers. In the United States, Apple has also changed its fees, making second-hand Android smartphones more valuable. Of course, we cannot specify every phone, but this is the change in some of the Android phones that Apple will pay you for trade-in.

The post Apple Raises Trade-In Values for Android Devices, But Samsung’s Program Is Still More Generous appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple offers a great trade-in value for older iPhones as well as Android devices. And for a long time, buyers have been benefiting from this trade-in program from Apple. However, now it looks like, Apple has made some significant changes when it comes to the trade-in value, as MacRumors has reported that Apple has officially lowered the trade-in values for Android devices.

As per the report, starting from today, Apple has lowered the estimated exchange value for Android smartphones. Not just that, Apple has also lowered the value for a few old iPads and MacBooks.

On the Apple official website, Apple has been listing out the highest possible amount a buyer can get discounted when he or she trades his old Apple or Android phone. By highest value, we mean the maximum possible exchange value, which in the end varies depending on the condition of your device. However, today, the publication has noticed these highest trade-in values to be slightly lower than usual. This seems to be a silent move from Apple.

Following are some of the new trade-in values. The left indicates the current values while in the bracket you can see the previous value.

As you may have noticed, the change in the exchange value is quite significant. Some of the phone’s exchange prices have been lowered by striaght $100. As of now, we don’t know why has Apple suddently lowered these values. Also, we’re not sure if the new trade-in prices are only for the global market or if they’ve been modified in other regions as well.
