Where do they sell for $60 without needing to buy $50-$200 worth of service?

Community Reviews

Apple's trade-in promo is making newer iPhone upgrades more attractive, with top credits like $720 for an iPhone 16 Pro Max and $630 for a 16 Pro, and even older models getting bumps. The credit comes as an Apple gift card or refund after trade-in, and carrier-locked phones and multiple devices are accepted. The main catch is that the value can shift when new iPhones launch, and higher storage does not earn extra credit. It is a cleaner way to offset a new phone if you are comfortable with Apple store credit.

So buy the phone at 1199, get gift card for 720, use it to buy a new iPhone because of better specs for 1399 or 1499 at release for 18 pm, 1283-720= 563 paid, buying new iPhone 1497-720= 777 bucks for new iPhone, price for basically a phone that has a new camera bump a updated processor and still the same pretty much everything else so you can play 3 games at full frame rates and speeds vs 16 pm that already did this pretty damn well but was aging
You get a new battery with a new iPhone.

Literally says Apple GC right in the title. You don't have to buy a new phone.

Back in the day I use to upgrade my phone every two years because we use to see real upgrades, now they have been very minor over the past 6-10 years and they are truly not worth it.

I have a 16PM and it's fine. Just the software is absolute garbage, iOS is not as good and snappy as it use to be. Their AI is failed and they are resorting to using Google Gemini for Siri.

iPhone 18 is an incremental upgrade. I'm waiting for iPhone 20 too.
