Apple to Offer Better Trade-In Pricing for Minor Cosmetic Damage
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is expanding its trade-in program to offer better pricing for devices with minor cosmetic defects, differentiating these from more serious damage.
- Previously, small cosmetic issues like minor chips were treated the same as severe damage such as cracked screens, leading to steep trade-in value reductions.
- The new system introduces more granular pricing that more accurately reflects a device’s condition, without reducing the trade-in value for customers.
- This update is expected to take effect today when Apple's trade-in website is back online and will apply in most countries where the program operates, with a few exceptions.
