I have had my iPhone X for almost five years now. While it works fine, it’s definitely starting to lag, and the battery dies quite quickly.
I plan to trade it in this year and upgrade to an iPhone 14 Pro (or even the 15 Pro if possible), but I want to get the best deal possible on my trade-in.
The best and most recent deal I have been offered was $350 off an iPhone 14 Pro. I would accept this offer because it’s the best I’ve seen since considering upgrading my phone, but I’ve read that the trade-in offers are the best right before a new iPhone is released.
Do you think I should wait until closer to the release of the 15 and hope for a better deal, or should I accept the $350 since my phone is an older model and this may be the best I can get?
Thanks for your advice!
I have an iPhone 13 Pro-Max and a 13 Pro. I purchased both through Verizon. I am on a Go Unlimited Plan and owe ~ $275 on each phone still.
I am planning on upgrading to 16 Pro Max for both phones.
I don’t have a problem paying off the balance for the trade in. I don’t have a problem paying in full for the new phones up front. When I spoke to a Verizon rep about it, they told me I couldn’t pay for the phone in full, their credit would be split over 36 months and if I don’t have a balance on the phone I won’t get that monthly trade in credit.
I started looking around here and on apple’s website and saw I can trade in to apple directly for a $1000 credit instead of the $830 credit that Verizon offers. And to be honest, I’d rather not be tied to Verizon’s pay over 3 years and “we’ll spread out your credit over that time.”
I’m fine upgrading to the Unlimited Ultimate service if I truly get faster internet and can use it internationally.
What is my best option?
