    Decision help

    Dear all, In December 2021, I ordered the then new M1 iMac BTO (16gb ram, 500 gb SSD). It was my first desktop ever, before that I had MacBook since 2007. However, after two years, I figured out that the desktop is annoying, I prefer MacBooks and the iMac occupies too much space in my small...

    Why Apple lost my sale on new MacBook Pros tonight

    That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

    iPhone 13 Will Apple accept trade-in with a scuff on frame and lens?

    Hey, just dropped my iPhone 13 and it got a scuff on frame and lens. As far as I see it doesn’t affect image quality. Photos attached. Will they accept it still? The front and back glass is totally okay.

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Trade-in values imply 2 year holding period: better buy Pro Max

    Apple looks like shifting from yearly upgrade to 2 year upgrades incentives for the consumers. First they gave $790 for 12 PM, then $720 for 13 PM. Apple were giving more trade-in values for new 13 line-up, which is decreasing for new 14 line-up. On the other hand, Apple seems to be offering...

    Where to sell a good used Mac?

    I bought a new Mac Book Air at my local Apple Store. When I presented my old, 2019 Mac Book Pro, that was sold to me as "brand new, special order" by a Simply Mac store, the Apple Store turned it down as a trade in on the grounds that it's serial number was in the "Device Enhancement Program"...

    iPhone 13 Pro Will Apple accept my iPhone as trade-in with two small cracks on the back?

    iPhone 13 Pro has two small cracks on the back. Seems like the cracks are internal as I can't feel it when I run my finger on them. It's as if nothing is even there. Other than the cracks, the phone is in great condition and functions properly. Wondering if Apple will accept.

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Why won't Apple honor contracts between consumer + their website?!

    I ordered a phone on November 6th online and was offered $790.00 to trade my existing phone in (trading iPhone 12 ProMax for 13 ProMax) - Mind you my phone is less than a year old and battery drains so fast. Have troubleshooted and no help from Apple care. This phone was backordered 3-4 weeks...

    iPhone 13 Pro Trade-in Nightmare

    Hello, This is the first time coming back to Apple since the original iPhone on AT&T. I traded in my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G in RED. Friday I wanted to check the status of the trade-in so I searched online to see how to do that. They(online) said to use the Apple Store app. So, I opened the...

    Other Will you be trading in your iPhone 12/Pro/Max for iPhone 13?

    How much do you think Apple will give you for an iPhone 12/Pro/Max? Would you do it? I'm considering it if TouchID makes a comeback, given that masks don't seem to be going away anytime soon (and I don't want to wear an Apple Watch). Selling using Craigslist and the like is such a pain...

    iPad iPad Trade-In value has gone up since late 2020

    I made note of the trade-in values of my two iPads and decided to check again today to see what they are, and to my surprise both have increased: 5th generation iPad, 128 GB trade-in value Oct 2020: $145 trade-in value June 2021: $165 6th generation iPad, 128 GB trade-in value Oct 2020...

    iPad Pro Process for exchanging my promised trade for 5th gen iPad Pro

    My spouse was firm that she was holding strong with her 2nd gen iPad Pro. Now that I placed an order for a 5th gen iPad Pro she wants to take my 4th gen iPad Pro that I was 'pledged to trade' during last Friday's purchase process direct with Apple. I have gone down other paths before and prefer...

    Bad Phobio trade-in experience. [Merged]

    I figured this would be the best place for this question so I'm hoping someone can chime in with advice. I recently decided to upgrade from a 2015 11" MacBook to a new MacBook Pro 13". In the past I've traded in or sold devices through Gazelle, Swappa, eBay, Craigslist, and even somewhat...

    iPhone XS Max Sell my iPhone OR Trade-in?

    Apple's Trade-in option could save me $600 from buying a 256GB iPhone 11 Pro Max by trading in my 256GB iPhone XS Max. That sounds great, but here's the problem: I bought my iPhone XS Max in early February 2019, not last September right after it came out. (About 7.5 month old.) And my battery...

    Other Can I pre-order a new iPhone in September and trade in an old iPhone on release day?

    This will probably come under the banner of "stupidest questions ever asked" but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've never bought an iPhone at launch, I've always upgraded when I feel I need to and this has never been in September when the new devices come out. I currently have an iPhone 6s Plus...

    Mac Mini Experts: What TV/Monitor Should I Get?

    Background The last TV I bought was a "box" TV I bought over a decade ago. I have always wanted a wide screen TV and, now that I watch Netflix, movies, and TV shows on my computer and flat screen TVs are becoming cheaper and more computer-compatible, it seems like a good time to buy one...

    Estimated Mac trade-in return time?

    I've never traded-in a Mac. Usually they die or go to a family member. However this time around, I want to trade-in my late 2014 iMac towards a Mac Mini. I know the process involves them sending me a shipping label & supplies to ship it out. Has anyone done this? Estimated time to get those...

    Carrier ATT Next Iphone Upgrade - tradein required?

    I'm on the ATT Next plan. My current iphone is completely paid off. I upgraded to 7+. Am I required to trade in my current iphone or since it's paid off can I sell it on ebay? Everywhere I see says I have to trade in, but nowhere does it seem to say if that's the case or not if the phone is 100%...
