Android users, Apple may now 'pay you less' for switching to iPhones
Apple has significantly reduced the amount of discount users get when they trade in their Android smartphones for an Apple device.According to MacRumors, the company has changed the official estimated trade-in value for users wanting to turn in their Android phones in order to get a brand new iPhone.
Previously, trade-ins could fetch buyers a decent USD545 discount when purchasing from the Apple Store, but now, the maximum discount has been brought down to just USD405.
If you traded in your Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, which launched for USD1,299, Apple would have given you a USD545 credit. However, if you trade it in right now, Apple will only give you USD405. The Google Pixel 5 went from fetching USD315 to only managing USD235.
Similarly, Apple has dropped trade-in values for Samsung Galaxy S21 and more.
In addition, Cupertino based tech giant has also cut trade-in discounts for Macbooks and iPads. Trading in a Macbook Pro will now net you USD1415 instead of the usual USD1630.
Similarly, you will now get a discount of about USD335 after trading in an iPad Air as compared to USD345.
