90% of morons on this thread will ruin the deal by asking dumb questions to Best Buy and possibly altering them to check trade in phone in details. Just keep your mouth shut when you go there to pick up the phone

I just got the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for basically free (still have to pay $101 for tax) after trade-in with iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It's not free. You are trading your iPhone 14 pro max which is selling for close to 700 in used market so you paid close to 800 for the pixel

Anyone has success trading in a slightly cracked screen phone to BB?

I have an iPhone 14 with a small crack at the front camera, not sure if they will refuse the trade in.

iPhone 14 trade in value is $799 for Pixel 9

But trade in value is only $590 for Pixel 9 Pro

This is just stupid!

I agree, it doesn't make sense.

But neither does offering $999 for iPhone 12 Pro. But hey, I'm not complaining!

It's only "stupid" if one incorrectly assumes that trade-in offers are based exclusively on a device's market value. But in reality, offers seek to influence buyer behavior through incentives. In this case, Google seeks to gain market share from Apple by getting their users to give Pixel a try, hence the higher trade-in values for iPhones.

Boy are you clueless on the new Pixel and there path forward. The phone is free for an iPhone 12 that's worth what a $100. Apple fanboys are hilarious. How if that Apple Intelligence coming along. Apple has innovated anything in years but they have cool emojis. Brain washed
Only Iphone I've used is the 3gs. I've given Pixels a chance with the 5a and the 6a and they are just terrible hardware. I'm currently using a Samsung but my favorite phone of all time was a Huawei. If anything, I'm the most unbiased phone user there is. But I call it like it is, google is a software company trying to do hardware and has been failing with their poor quality control. That's why they are "giving" their phones away.

I'm trying to source an iPhone, and the biggest difficulty is finding one which matches one of the Model #'s in best buy's list. Does anyone know the source of truth? . I ask because for example, Best Buy shows Apple - iPhone 12 Pro 5G 128GB (T-Mobile), Model: MGLN3LL/A SKU: 6418429.

However, this site [everymac.com] shows MGLN3LL/A it as "Unlocked and sim free",and same with this site [techwalls.com] shows it as "United States – Unlocked SIM-free from Apple Store"

It would be much less risky if I knew as long as I had *any* iPhone Pro 128GB, I'll get the credit.

You're correct that Google tries to get Apple users to switch to Pixel by giving higher trade-in values for iPhones. But you missed the point that smokarz was making.
"iPhone 14 trade in value is $799 for Pixel 9, But trade in value is only $590 for Pixel 9 Pro". The same iPhone 14 gets $799 trade-in value when applying toward a plain Pixel 9 which costs $799, but gets only $590 when applying toward a Pixel 9 Pro which costs $999.

Ah I see, too bad my shipping option is greyed out. I can't make changes to do pick up.
I think P9 Pro was never available for pickup, this is because the release date of P9 Pro is so far out and not yet firm (Expected September first week). Without a firm release date, it's probably not feasible for Google/Best Buy to plan and offer store pickup.

I think in the next 2-3 weeks we can expect P9 Pro to become available for order with store pickup option. Only thing we are not sure is whether Best Buy will have same trade in values at that time.

I also think most likely Best buy won't allow changing existing orders from shipping to store pickup as it'll be too late to handle the inventory, logistics etc..

As far as I can tell (and maybe I'm wrong), but they can't get a model number unless they sign into the phone with an Apple ID, which I don't think they will do.
That's not a safe assumption. The more rejection the better for their business, so they will likely do any option to find a reason to reject.

Still deciding on whether I should switch from s23 ultra to pixel 9 pro xl. It's basically free, but don't know if I'll hate it or not going pixel. My Samsung has been buggy and with bad battery life. Laggy and slowww ass camera. 9 out of 10 cat shots are blurs. But I hear terrible things about pixels too...
No phone is 100% perfect. I use both Galaxy (S21U earlier, S22U recently) and Pixel (6P, 7P earlier, 8P for the past 8+ months), Pixel is better in fluidity (no lag) and Camera (fast, better pictures, better shots of moving objects with no blur). Battery life is always Ymmv as it's varies greatly based on many factors (Screen usage, types of apps, streaming, GPS, gaming etc..)

man, I don't even want to deal with all this hassle of not knowing whether a slightly different model iphone 12 pro will be cause for a rejection if I mail it it.

I'm happy with my two pixel 9's I'm trading in iphone 12's in store.
What happens if they reject via mail in? Do you get phone back or lower or no credit? I chose Verizon model and hard time finding exact model of 12 pro...

FYI 256gb models are UFS 4.0. 128gb are not. But I ordered 128gb cause I'm going to be upgrading to the pixel 10 anyways. No need to spend a hundred more. But if you're going to keep it long term, get the 256.
According to Gemini, all Pixel 9 devices have UFS 3.1 instead of 4.0.
