If you're looking to buy a P9, definitely do so at Best Buy over Google store:

1. BB GC has more flexibility vs. Google Store credit
2. BB will deduct taxes off your trade = more saving
3. Trade instore = no headache vs. send in trade to Google's 3rd party
4. Easy return/replacement should there be some defects. Google CS is horrid.

Check the trade in values against the Google Store. Best Buy has a better trade in for the 6a but Google a better one for the 8.

Though a $100 Best Buy gift card is better for most people than a $100 Google Store credit, so that's a factor too.

I did some testing for 9 po XL. 256GB

Trade-in phone Value
Iphone 13 pro max 128gb $830
iPhone 13 pro max 259GB $1099

So if you want to get Pixel 9 pro xl 128GB, iphone13 pro max 128GB can give you max refund.
Same concept applies to iphone 13 128GB for pixel 9 for 128GB.

So if you want to buy a phone for tradein just like me, I will get 256GB storage one since I will be getting 9 Pro XL.

TLDR: When trading in, storage matters as well. Getting a 258GB pixel needs a phone 1ith 256GB storage for max value.

amazing thread. Sounds like some people here have gotten great credit for trading in older phone. Congrats.

I am at the lower end of spectrum, I picked up 2 of the Pixel 6a's for 99 dollars NEW each (9 months ago) and for 10 dollars each unlocked them. I love the translate features and other cool stuff, the P9 must have very cool stuff since it is 3 gens newer.

I haven't looked at the reviews on this p9, so I will watch some reviews to see the goodies.

I mostly stay at home, and don't use the camera's much, and do simple stuff on my pixel 6a. Not sure I would benifit from getting a new one, maybe after watching some reviews on the p9 I may start to get jelous of the New p9. Do you think the iphone 15 is better then the p9? I don't know yet, but some of you guys probably know.

Are you guys buying this for the AI, or camera's or other reasons. Have fun with your new devices.

I'm not able to replicate these trade-in values. Seeing $345 for iPhone 12 and $170 for iPhone 11.

dont agree. sometimes black firday deals are meh.. i have 2 months return period with bb.. will that help?
There is gonna be no better deal. Iphone 12 is worth what maybe $150. If I wait to BF and the Pixel 9 will end up costing me like $500 instead of the $100 I just made on this deal. That guy is clueless. BF is worthless now IMO on anything

I bought one as I had an iphone 12 and I can replace it for free with a Pixel 9 that leaps and bounds better. I have a Pixel 9 Fold coming also. If you can wait the 10s coming next year will be the phone to get. Tensor 5 is coming from TSMC which will make that chip fast, energy efficient and less heat.

I have an iphone 12 and very tempted. But the entire family including kids are on IOS

Also switching is such a pain. They have intentionally made it painful for users. decisions, decisions!! Any inputs?

I'm not too familiar with these trade-ins. Does your phone need to be unlocked to trade in? Is the new Pixel 9/9pro unlocked? What can you spend the eGift on? If things line up, why not just buy an iPhone 12 for like $120 on eBay, walk into BB, and get a new Pixel 9 for that price?

Genuinely curious,

It's free and your 12 is worth basically nothing. Hell buy it and sell it. My whole family is brainwashed and uses Apple also. Not me. They haven't innovated anything in the last 5-10 years and are way behind on AI

If you like the iPhone then keep it. Switching to an unfamiliar OS will be a giant paid.

But if you are willing to learn how Android works, it'll be a positive experience compared to IOS. I've used both, Android has a lot of QOL features that aren't on IOS.

Multiple trade-ins? It's possible to trade in your iPhone 12 to get a Pixel 9 and trade-in the 9 for an iPhone 16 pro max after Apple releases it. You'll only be on Android for a few months.

What's the point of buying a iPhone 12 off Ebay for $229 (plus tax) when Best Buy is only giving a $345 trade in value for iPhone 12. Is it worth going through all that hassle for just $100? And you wouldn't even make $100 if you have to get one of the iPhone 12's that are higher in price than $229 plus taxes and possibly shipping charges.

No, pick a carrier version of the 128gb. The color and storage has to be correct or they'll deny the trade.
I am in the same boat but already placed the order! I have a Verizon now Unlocked 128gb iPhone 12 blue. I selected unlocked and the site automatically changed to 64gb and I checked out. I spoke to a chat agent and he said it would be fine, they said "once they receive they will check and help me"? Not sure if I should just cancel the order and re order With the correct storage.
