For those of you actually due for an upgrade to order your iPhone 6 but don’t quite have the funds right now. Trust me, there are plenty of other things out there you could do with your hard-earned $$$ than buying a new phone. Alas, we have a few trade-in options for you to help cut down the cost – especially those buying the bigger iPhone 6 Plus.
AT&T
This carrier is offering up to a $300 credit for an iPhone 5S and up to a $200 credit for an iPhone 4/4S/5/5c.
Sprint
This carrier is offering up to $300 for older devices towards the latest iPhone.
T-Mobile
This carrier guarantees the best trade-in value for your device. If you find a better deal, T-Mo will match it and add an extra $50 too. Bad news is that it doesn’t start until September 17th.
Verizon
This carrier will shelling out up to $300 in the form of a gift card for an iPhone 5S and up to $200 for an iPhone 4/4s/5/5c.
eBay
While there is no real set price of how much you can get, this is one of two services where you’ll get the most bang for your buck.
Craigslist
And this is the other service getting you the most $$$ for your device. As always make sure you meet to exchange cash for the product in a public place.
Swappa
This is a great way to sell as it mixes the best of many worlds. It has the cheapest fees, private communication w/ the buyer, and more.
Amazon
Amazon’s trade-in program offers great values when you opt for an Amazon gift card over cash. A 32GB iPhone 5S could get you nearly $350 for it.
Apple
Apple has their own trade-in program (in-store + online) where you can trade-in your device for a gift card. You can get just over $300 for a 32GB iPhone 5S.
Best Buy
The trade-in program of one of the last electronics store could get you just over $300 for a 32GB iPhone 5S.
Target
This retailer’s trade-in program will get you just under $250 for a 32GB iPhone 5S.
Of course some places over better values than others but many of these in-store retailers aren’t everywhere. So some might have no choice but to go the Craigslist or eBay route. Or the store close to them is a Target.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you manage to reserve one.
