    Resolved Apple Card iPhone Trade In (Daily Cash Adjustment)

    So, I traded in an iPhone along with my 13 Pro Max purchase yesterday at an Apple Store in person and this is how it showed up on my Apple Card today: Why does my daily cash adjustment get dinged for a phone that I sold to Apple? Is this something I can dispute with Apple Card or just...

    iPhone 13 Who is going 13 this year then Pro in 2022?

    My iPhone 13 is my first upgrade since the iPhone XS and it is such an upgrade. I wanted to get the Pro but could not justify the extra cash as would have wanted at least 256gb so I got ProRes! I felt that if I got the 13 this year, I could trade next year and pay the same amount or less that I...

    iPhone 13 Best Buy/Verizon Trade In promo - not as good as last year's?

    Last year, Best Buy offered the same exact trade-in deal as Verizon towards iPhone 12 models. The best part was, you would get the trade-in credit up front (whereas Verizon wants you to mail them your phone and give you the credit in monthly installments for 2 years), and apply it towards the...

    Other iPhone 13 mini for $9 (after 12 Pro Max trade-in)

    As someone who wanted the 12 mini last year, but instead going for the superior cameras of the 12 Pro Max (yes, I was one of those people clamoring for a small phone, only to get the 12 PM, haha), I couldn’t help but notice on the Apple website that trading in my 12 PM can get me the 13 mini...

    Other iPhone 13 Pro Max - Trade in, it SOUNDED tempting...(Ok, never mind. I'm an idiot)

    Once I heard "Our partners - and Apple" will offer up to $1000.00 trade in for qualifying phones, I knew there was a catch! I always PAY IN FULL for my iPhones, just own it and not worry about it. This time, trade in iPhone 12 Pro Max, 256GB....for the 13 pro Max 256GB, pay in full...it's...

    iPhone 11 Use AppleCare prior to trade-in?

    I have an iPhone 11 with a screen whose pixels are becoming discolored in the top right corner. Let's say I want to trade this phone in for an iPhone 13 when it comes out. Will the AppleCare 'trigger' during trade-in and allow me to get near-full value for this phone? Or do I need to use...

    Beware of trade in via mail

    This is kind of a rant so if that’s not your thing please do not read. I recently traded in a Series 4 for a Series 6. I wanted to do the trade in while in the store picking up the Series 6, but was told due to COVID they were not able to do that. Which in and of itself bothers me because they...
