Slight itch to finally get the 17 PM..thought about trading in iPhone 13 Pro Max (flip-flopping...don't want to, TBH. still curious with trade in $).

I now see it went from $320 (yesterday) - iphone was not in stock nearby, down to $300 this morning - with iPhone NOW in stock....go figure.

Anyway, I suspect all phone trade in's have gone down a tad? So..honestly if I do cave in getting the 17 Pro Max, I honesty may just keep this 13 PM as a backup. This 13 has been a GREAT phone!

Dang. I'm lucky I just got a 15PM sent in for $510 then...and I would have gotten more if I was buying a phone. $510 was just a simple trade in for gift card. They still haven't actually paid for that one yet.
 
Why on earth would you trade in a 13 PM for $320, let alone $300? At that point, either keep it as a backup, get much more on Swappa/eBay/OfferUp/Marketplace or gift it to a family member.

Those unlocked will fetch you anywhere from $800-950 doing a private sale.
Yep, I checked! Trading this 13PM at Apple I decided was never going to be an option if I upgraded, this is unlocked and now has a fresh new Apple battery with 100% health 7 cycles as of today. I would think I can do much better than $300...IF i did decide to sell it. IDK, I really do like this phone, would rather have a backup right now.

LOL, my mind is all over the place...to upgrade or not. I can't make up my mind to be honest.
