Apple appears to offer new iPhone trade-in program


Apple still has its upgrade program where customers can trade in their device every year. It appears Apple is now offering another option (via 9 to 5 Mac) to get credit or an Apple gift card. The trade in goes through a third=party partner.

The intent appears to a way to apply value from an old device to a new device sold by Apple.

Get up to $250 in credit when you trade in your eligible smartphone. Use that credit to lower the full cost of a new iPhone or to reduce the monthly payments with your carrier.

The deal isn't that great topping off at $250 but seems ballpark of other trade in options.
