I didn't say they don't have a trade-in promotion this year:

But the base allowance is $100 less and there is no $100 discount from MSRP making the deal $200 worse compared to last year.
Maybe last year BB got something from TMO because it was the first time they partnered with TMO that's why they gave more discount. So we just hoping that this year will be the same like last year.

Same here. The $800 value they are giving for the 13 Pro Max makes no sense. According to them, the device depreciated $400 in a single year (initial cost 1099+tax so around 1,200). If it lost so much value in one year then the device will be worth nothing in 3 years. This is pure BS.
Also the changes between the 13 and the 14 are so minor that I am having a hard time justificaing the cost.

I will hold on my 13 until they give us a better value for it.
Ever buy a used car? most things don't depreciate in a straight line. Electronics will depreciate more in year one than in year 2, year 3, etc. And you can't factor in tax you originally piad on trade in value lol

Like most thing in life, it doesn't come cheap for no reason. Maybe BB got some huge incentive if they were able to reach some sort of quota last year. This year maybe they don't get anything and they know iphone will sell like hot cake. So no reason for them to give more discount.

The $800 is still pretty reasonable for instant credit and no plan changes. The carriers only offer better trade in values on the expensive plan and with bill credits. The price on swappa for the 128GB 13PM is about $900. After fees and shipping, it's $800-$850?

Last year's $975 for the 12PM was just too good, almost ridiculous. It's almost a free upgrade to the 13PM. Overall, the trade in values are not that great compared to last year. You don't have to upgrade if you don't think it's worth it.

I don't think he knows how used pricing works on the electronics. This is in fact decent deal even at slickdealers' level.

Did anyone last year actually get their iPhone on the release date or day after? Just curious as to timing.

Ordered 2 a few day after preorder day started. Got 1 of 2 on released day. 2nd order was delayed until like mid Oct. Found a store with stock 30 miles away a week later.

Same experience. Except they mess up my first order. It was deliver on release day but I couldn't pick it up. Waited for the reorder mid oct.

I agree. I really think last year was an anomaly for the general trade in values. I really didnt expect it to be as good as it was so I ended up doing all of our phones for trade ins.

From what I've seen, getting $700ish off is the normal trade in for a 2 year old iphone. But we've been spoiled the last few years with $800+ trade ins. Then last year it was even higher than that. It should be expected that going forward the deals will revert back to $700 offers.

Ultimately, competition is what's really helping us out. We really need another carrier to compete with Tmo, verizon and ATT. Maybe Starlink can eventually get there. The carriers are all so worried about people leaving, theyre offering lots of incentives to stay. I'm surprised more people aren't leaving ATT and VZ bc of their 3 year plans.

Go through the ordering process. If you able to add device to your cart and check out. Then you got your answer there.

During preorders last year, they offered $800 for my 12Pro, + an additional $100 discount off the 13Pro, bringing my total to $100 + tax to upgrade.

This year, the trade-in value dropped by $100, and there is no longer an instant discount, bringing the upgrade price to $300 + tax.

Not entirely sure it's worth it at these values. I sure hope BB throws in additional incentives, but I am not expecting it as these were the same values through preorders.

Last year the deals were phenomenal from tmo direct, bestbuy and apple.com. This year, it sure looks like they are all sort of consistent. Tmo and apple seem to have very similar deals. Everything adds up to $1000 or $800 for the magenta max deals. Best Buy has a minimal deal(if you can even call it that) for those who dont want credits.

The only thing we can hope for is that the sales flop big time and Tmo is forced to cut prices so they can fulfill their massive quota they have to buy from Apple this year.

As of now, it sure looks like the iphone 14 is not going to get a lot of sales. I still see shipping dates that are immediate shipping. The pro models are back ordered so there's probably hope for better deals after this initial rush.

Where do all these trade ins go? Used Iphone 11 pros should be fairly cheap by now, but they are still pretty expensive.
