  • How Trade-In Works:
    1. Calculate your trade-in phone's value
    2. Buy your new phone online
    3. Complete your new phone purchase online and activate your phone on the carrier's network (Best Buy will help with all that.)
    4. Pick up your new phone in one of our stores
    5. Bring your trade-in phone with you when you pick up your new one. Best Buy will check to make sure you're trading in the same phone you told them about online and check for any damage that might make your trade-in ineligible for the promotion.
    6. Best Buy will take your trade-in's value off the cost of your new phone.
      • Trade-in value is calculated to represent a working phone that turns on and does not have a cracked or broken screen. Your phone will be evaluated when you trade it in to validate that it meets all requirements.
      • Your order must be picked up from a store to complete your trade-in and apply its value to your new phone purchase.

just picked up my iphone 13 pro max blue 128gb and here is the entire process:
Im upgrading / trading my iphone 11 pro max .
Pre-ordered yesterday 09/23/2021 around 10 AM.
got a text an email this morning saying its ready to pick up.( was kinda surprised about this , but ig because this best buy has less people preordered , or got more stock , im in missouri)
I backed up my old phone to my computer . and reset the phone.
Got to best buy( I was one of the first 3 people there so i got help right away) , the guy asked me for my order number and name, then told me to get with a lady.
the entire pick up was about 15 mins, she asked for my id , then my old phone, she spent most of the time input stuff into the system. I confirmed on the machine my info is correct. she handed me the new iphone new in box with a sim card on top. I asked if she need to activate the phone or anything and she said no , when i put in the phone it should activate it self. got the phone and the receipt , now im heading home.
She didnt open the new phone box at all , she didnt ask if I need to transfer my old phone data to the new phone ( might be she noticed my old phone got reset)
what's the point of choosing a carrier if you pay almost full price lol
iPhone 13/pro is the weakest upgrade.
Only do it if you have a iPhone 8 or below.
Not worth $700/800 after all the hassle that you have to go through.
Your XR should be good through iPhone 14

Quote from Quaro :
The Best Buy clerk could not complete the trade-in and sale, the Best Buy system kept rejecting it at the screen where he scans (or types in) a SIM card number that comes with the new iPhone. The clerk showed me this screen to explain.

He and the manager had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it. They basically just said come back tomorrow and we'll try again?

Anyone know what was wrong here?
They were having a hard time to get the SIM barcode to scan for me too. I believe the rep ended up manually typing in the number and that seemed to work.

Unlocked iPhone 12 gets only $520 trade-in value but other careers get $620 trade-in value. If I select AT&T as my trade-in device but give them an unlocked device, will they accept it or verify the device career by model number and adjust the trade-in value?

My rep never opened the phone and the SIM was on the box. He just scanned the box and scanned the SIM and gave the unopened phone and the SIM( still taped outside) to me. I want to give it my friend who has T mobile. I just don't want him not be able to use it because it's tied to my account or something like that
yea, you should be good to go
he would just put his own chip in the new phone

once you have the phone in hand, you can give it to anyone who use T-mobile, Sprint and Metro.
I had similar experience. Did you happen to also schedule in-store setup appt?

Try to see if they can manually cancel the in setup appt as this was known issue and prevents their system from releasing hardware.

Anyone still waiting for iPhone 13 (base model) to be available for pick up. Still getting "we'll email you when it is available".

Spent 2 hours in bestbuy to try and pickup and left empty handed. None of the employees or their superiors could figure things out. They weren't going to honor the online price (I already paid either). Were trying to get me to re-buy but at $100 more. After 2 hours of drama I walked out and will be picking up an iPhone at Apple this week. I'll gladly spend the extra $ to not have to deal with BestBuy.
