When I purchased Iphone 12 pro in blue color on 26th Oct at Sams Club, I intended to trade-in the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) 128 GB to get $800 value from their promo. That was what it showed on At&T's terms and conditions that day.....But now I see it show only $350 tradein value for SE 2nd gen. I still have not even received the new 12 pro yet and hence not sent my SE 2nd gen back to them as tradein.....So what will I get as value from my tradein now? Does anyone has snapshot or some proof from AT&T's original promotion showing SE 2ns gen was eligible for $800 value?
I believe you will qualify for $350, the value of the promotion when you perform your trade in, not when you pre-ordered the phone.

I have an iphone X with a cracked screen. Phone works fine other than that. Anyone know if that still gets the $800 tradein, or will i have to fix the screen first?
Cracked screens won't pass. Sorry.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Refurb.../637057587 Just bought an iPhone 8 from Walmart to trade in (the seller allows returns to store). I have an XR I was originally going to trade but I'd rather sell it for $400+ since I'll get $700 from AT&T for the iPhone 8.

Hmm...That being the case, do you know if I can switch the tradein from what I originally selected when I bought the 12 pro? I had selected SE 2nd Gen as tradein at the time of purchase, but now I would like to switch it to iPhone 8 since it still gives $800 value back.

In that case, you were locked in for the $800 trade-in credits.

I contacted AT&T multiple times, and finally found someone who was willing to look into my account. He told me that I was locked in for the $800 since I selected iPhone SE 2020 at time of purchase.

I suggest you try to chat with AT&T and get confirmation. I am still not receiving my trade-in kit yet. The rep said that I have to use the kit to mail in the old phone in order to receive the $800 credits.

I just spoke with an ATT customer service rep over the phone. She explained to me that the device value has to be $95+ to get $800 credit, and $35+ to get $350 credit. The current value for SE second gen on ATT's tradein website comes up as $90. So I would not quality for $800 it seems even though in ATT's terms and condition SE second gen was listed to be eligible for $800 credit on Oct 26 when I placed the order.

Max vs regular pro is screen size, battery size, and some more advanced camera features (better telephoto lens, better stabilization, more optical zoom)

Between 12 pro and regular 12 it's no telephoto lens at all on the non-pro, and no LIDAR- also smaller storage size options (64/128/256 vs 128/256/512)

There's some more photo/video feature differences due to the missing sensors on the non-pro

Oh and pro has brighter display

Regular 12 and mini are the same other than screen and battery size


Oh there might be a difference in RAM, but Apple never publishes info on that officially.
I look at it this way. $50 - camera, $50 - RAM, $50 - Stainless instead of aluminum. 12P v 12

That is your price difference

I pre-ordered thru AT&T, the rep told me that the computer shows that I was locked in for $800. Too bad all the emails never showed the SE trade in and/or $800 credits. But I keep this conversation for future proof if AT&T end up won't honor the $800.

Be prepared for a fight that you probably won't win. The trade in goes to a third party if you mail it in and they'll value it at $90 which equals $350

That is true.

Same with the route of going to a corporate store. They'll price it at $90 on the spot, they can't override the pre-established prices or retroactively honor what the deal was.

They probably got flooded with SE2's early on.

Im shocked iPhone 8 still qualifies as of now tbh

--

im still curious about waiving the upgrade fee. have others done this with FAN? I want to , eventually , but I don't want it to blow the deal

The rep clearly said that the computer showed that the $800 credit has been locked in and I need to mail back the iphone SE 2020.

He also credited me $30.24 to cover the activation fee.

For now, I still leaning toward trusting AT&T. If they are shady, they would not even ask the trade in model when placing an order.

I could be wrong. And I saved all kind of conversation and ready to fight..

That's pretty cool!

I guess if you got the wheels turning before it's fine but more for NEW people that want to cite the old deal and trade in their SE2 and get t the ball rolling today, will be SOL I would imagine.

I bought the Phone on AT&T and was activated last Saturday. Any idea when I will receive the trade in kit? Can I go to the store to trade in old phone even before that email arrives?
