Apple recently launched its iPhone 12 series around the world and it is the latest and greatest the company has to offer. However, the prices are not very encouraging for new buyers. Apple offers options where the user can get better value for money when swapping in their older phones, which include both iPhones and some popular Android smartphones.
The new exchange option can be selected from the official Apple store. Since Apple is in full control of the stores, the company can offer much higher discounts when trading in its older iPhones.
To give the buyer a better idea of how much discount they can achieve by selling their older smartphone, Apple has released a list of smartphones with approximate values of devices ranging from the iPhone 11 Pro Max to even the iPhone 5s. Exchange values range from ₹63,000 for iPhone 11 Pro Max ₹3,000 for the iPhone 5s.
Apple is not limiting this trade-in option to iOS smartphones. The company also offers decent trade-in value for Android smartphones from premium smartphone makers, which currently only includes Samsung and OnePlus smartphones. The highest trade-in value is offered on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, which is ₹36,230. The highest discount on OnePlus phones is offered on OnePlus 7T. The company offers a value of ₹19,170 for the Android device.
To take advantage of this exchange option, the user will need to enter the details of the device they plan to exchange. Details include the serial number of the device, as well as information about the variant and status of the device they plan to trade in.
Once the new iPhone arrives for delivery, the Apple executive will run a diagnostic test on the device to verify all the details provided during the purchase. If the details are true, the buyer will receive the new iPhone and if there are some aspects of the device that further reduce the trade-in value, the buyer will have to pay the difference to get the new device.
