Although the Best Buy product listing reads "Save up to $1,140.00 when you trade in a similar device [archive.ph]" (screenshot [archive.org]), there is currently no trade-in value that high. When I collected the data from all 2816 eligible trade-in SKUs, the highest trade-in value was $950.00.

Here are all the trade-in offers as a spreadsheet: Best Buy SKU 6559251 – All Trade-In Values.xlsx [archive.org]

Interesting math:
Google Pixel 7 Pro ― $600.00 base + $250.00 bonus = $550.00

I don't know about 2 iPhones I did a pixel 6a and iPhone 13 and they stacked with 2 bonuses
Thank you. I can do an iPhone with a non iPhone. But do I need to create an order online first, or do i simply walk in the store, and they create the order and then I hand them 2 phones?

Humorously, pixel 8's CPU actually offers less performance than iPhone 12 🤣
Humorously, in 2023 the iPhone 15 and 15 plus, phones that can cost easily $1000, still have 60hz screens 🤣🤣 A mid range android (of which the pixel 8 is not a part) with Google's OS is snappier feeling than an iPhone 12. As a non partisan tech fan who has multiple iPhones including a 12 mini (owned 12 too) and a 13 pro, the smoothness of IOS is real, I'll admit. But it's painfully slow and a waste of the chip's capabilities, especially at 60hz. Run benchmarks if you want (almost no real user cares). Tensor 3 seems like a good chip, at least in terms of what its focus is (GPU and deep learning) with improved efficiency (either that or the pixel 8 and pro have much better cooling than the 7s which I doubt). Wait for the reviews if you want but you're crazy if you think these pixel deals through Best buy aren't SLICK. These are flagship phones, and still cheaper than the competition. I'd bet my left nutt the pixel 8 pro is better regarded out the gate than the 15 pro or 15 pro max due to heat gate (and battery gate, although possibly related and fixable) and durability issues (easily scratched and easily snapped in case of the max)

For those who ordered in store...do you have to give the trade-in device at the time of order or when you are picking the new pixel?

Also want to know if you hand over your trade-in phone at the store while placing the pre-order.

So? Pretend an 8 pro isn't substantially better than a 13 pro now, let alone 2-3 years in the future. Also, argument is irrelevant -- real price with trade in deals isn't comparable to a modern iPhone.

I can buy a used iPhone 12 Pro Max for $175. The screen is fine, it's unlocked, but it's advertised as blacklisted.

If I traded it in in-person at the store, would it be accepted?

I'm also running into this error message because the TIV is more than the price of the Pixel 8:

"Heads up! We're not able to continue with this trade-in because it has a higher value than the one you're buying. Please choose a different device to trade in or buy."

No blacklisted phones are not accepted for trade in.

It was never about the size, it's about the technique.

EDIT I meant the soc size and optimization techniques

Heres my scenario

I want to trade an ip12pro for p8pro, My son is using the ip12pro right now and waiting for the 15pro to arrive (15th-30th oct) let say its arriving on the 15th.

I can preorder now and and pickup the p8pro when the 15pro arrived and then trade the 12pro. Bestbuy will hold my pre-order for 5 day right?

Thanks!

You have 5 days to pick up the order but you can extend the date up to 2 weeks from the pickup date. I did that with the previous Pixel 7 preorder.
