Apple Trade-in

Apple's trade-in policy is rather good!

I rather fancied a new Series 4 watch, ordered one for pick-up and went to my local Apple store to collect. I happened to be wearing my Series 3 watch (bought when they first came out) which was spotted by the customer service guy who asked if I would like to trade it in? OK I said how much? He looked at the watch, removed the strap and said £150. Deal I said!

He knew from our conversation that I have umpteen Apple products and asked if I would consider other trade-ins? I have 3 iMacs and would maybe consider one of them. I need them because they are all at different software levels to support legacy apps. I have a similar problem with iPads, again because many legacy apps are no longer supported under the latest levels of IOS.

Going to have to give this some serious thought.

That's quite a bit below the sold prices for Apple series 3 watches on a well known online auction site but it does remove any risk from the equation and is more convenient.

Yep, have been considering it too, have a 6 year old iMac , but having recently moved have nowhere to leave it permanently set up. Am thinking a MBP is the way forward ..

Using this scheme does save a lot of grief, and as I have always had top notch service from the Apple store, I reckon that�ll be the way for me to go.
