Iphone 7 in exchange for the old one. Exchange an old iPhone for a new one with a small surcharge
Why do we need trade-in?
Trade-in itself is a very convenient service. Implies a surcharge for a new product, taking into account the delivery of the old. Apple in Russia periodically held such events earlier in the form of shares: in 2014, this action was launched by Eldorado, later by Euroset and DNS, and others. This allows you to “bind” the client to yourself in order to solve problems with updating the model range.
What is the essence of this new trade-in?
There are no exact trade-in terms on partner sites. Will I change the iPhone with a broken speaker or microphone? What if I changed the battery (what do almost 50% of iPhone users do)? What if I “wetted” the device?
The amount for which you sell your model, you will not know until you come to the store with a passport.
Svyaznoy says that the action is indefinite, while the re: Store website indicates the validity period until August 15. The promotion is valid throughout Russia.
How is this announced on the partner site?
“The promotion is valid when you buy in retail stores and when ordering from an online store, subject to self-pickup. You can pass on the stock iPhone 4 and newer, and buy - iPhone 6 and newer. The iPhone to be handed over must be purchased from an Apple authorized partner in Russia.
Individuals who have reached the age of 18 can take part in the action.
To find out the possible size of the discount, you need to contact any retail store with a passport and iPhone. When buying a stock, you can’t get an iPhone in installments, but a loan is available. The promotion is not cumulative with other discounts and special offers. The bonus program is valid only for accrual, the write-off of bonuses is not available.
The quantity of goods participating in the action is limited. The company reserves the right to complete the action ahead of schedule, ”the site says.
How does this now work after the fact?
The cost of trade-in is calculated individually and only when viewed in the store. The iPhone should work, should be purchased only from an official reseller in Russia, should not have chips and cracks. All of Europe, America and Asia go by.
Accept any iPhone, ranging from the iPhone 4. Plug prices: from 500 rubles. (iPhone 4) up to 25 000 rubles. (iPhone 7 Plus 256).
On-site shop employee inspects the device visually. Then the device is connected to a computer that reads data from an iPhone and communicates with Apple servers. Apple returns the amount of the discount in rubles or reports a refusal.
IPhone do not disassemble. The server does everything for the employee, and the amount is calculated according to the data received by the computer. A trade-in agreement is drawn up on the spot, in which the owner agrees to all the terms, confirms the transfer of the device and waives any claims.
On the old iPhone, the Apple ID is turned off, the password is removed, "Find iPhone" is turned off, all info is erased. The owner chooses an iPhone model for which he wants to change it.
On this model immediately after signing the contract (in place, you can’t leave to think, you can’t get a gift card or a certificate for a discount) a discount equal to the amount that the server displayed to the employee is given.
What could be the benefit of this trade-in?
This offer is definitely not for those who would like to save money on the purchase of equipment. They will be interested in buyers who are afraid to sit on flea markets, bulletin boards, so as not to fly into the money for a divorce. Speed is also important here: in 30 minutes you sell your old iphone and with a surcharge you get a new one.
What moments are very confusing, especially in Russia?
Prices for old devices are very much lower than the market for used equipment. Quickly looking at Avito and other trade-in services, you understand that the price for the old unit is unprofitable.
For example, the calculation for the old iPhone is:
- Apple estimates iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition at 25,000 rubles (in place)
- DamProdam redeems iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 37,000 rubles (paid immediately)
- Avito offers iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 40,000 rubles (the sale process will take time)
On the iPhone, acquired under the trade-in program from Apple's partners, the installment system does not work (when buying new iphone you take installments for 6-12 months and make no interest payments). You do not get real money for the old device, only the estimated cost, which can be credited with the purchase of a new iPhone. There is no question about any online service.
Why trade-in announced right now?
Approaching exit 8th iPhone models. Apple is trying to sell the maximum possible number of iPhone 7, as well as “warm up” the audience before the release of the 8th iPhone.
Strange as it may seem, for 10 years since the release of the first iPhone in Russia, a “cultural” trade-in has not appeared. Almost always the only option to sell your old iPhone is billboards and acquaintances. Well, there is always an option to give it to someone from the family (any better than recycling).
How does the trade-in in the US in the Apple Store?
In the US, the “buyout” program for the iPhone and its subsequent replacement with a new model is available in all Apple branded stores.
Apple itself is not engaged in processing used devices that are delivered in the trade-in: they seem to be given "at the mercy" of the company Brightstar (it is engaged in distribution, redemption and trade). No official data, but on the sidelines they say so.
The prices at which they buy phones are low. For the iPhone 6 64 GB in excellent condition in terms of rubles give a maximum of 9000. What ?!
For a state "below average", Apple is ready to offer only "free recycling." The condition itself is diagnosed only in the store.
What other options are trade-in Apple technology in the States?
In the United States, third-party trade-in services are also popular, which are ready to offer more favorable conditions. The biggest players are Gazelle and Glyde.
In this segment, they also work on the principle of sell or trade-in: the owner indicates the device parameters, condition and packaging, then the service shows the value online. It's like CarPrice, just about phones. And the price is not from and to, but clearly defined.

- testing a smartphone using a special Belmont Trading application that evaluates the technical condition of the device,
- inspect the appearance of the iPhone,
- check the functionality of the iPhone.
When an employee of the store has determined the value of the old iPhone, it is voiced by the buyer, who may refuse to return if the amount of the discount provided does not suit him.
How to evaluate your iPhone without leaving home
Available on the official website of Euroset rating system the cost of old iPhones that participate in the trade-in program. When assessing, it allows to take into account the model, technical and external condition of the smartphone. However, not all models are represented in the list of iPhone available for delivery in the system, so this calculator should be used only for a preliminary assessment of your smartphone.
What is the maximum discount for renting an iPhone?
The maximum possible discount on the purchase of a new iPhone for the delivery of the old one is 30%. This means that by renting, for example, an iPhone 6s with 64 GB of memory in excellent condition, you will be able to purchase an iPhone 7 Plus with a memory capacity of 256 GB at a price reduced immediately by 31 thousand rubles.
What is more profitable - to sell the old iPhone or pass it to the trade-in?
As international practice shows, the sale of the old iPhone in the secondary market is more profitable than the delivery of a smartphone under the trade-in program. However, if you do not have the time or desire to sell the old iPhone yourself, the trade-in program will really help out.
My iPhone is in terrible condition, can I exchange it?
Under the trade-in program, iPhones can be taken with breakdowns and poor appearance. But it should be understood that the size of the discount in this case will be reduced. In addition, frankly "dead" iPhone, employees of Apple retailers may not accept.

According to the rules published on the official website re: Store, for this you need to deactivate the function "Find my iPhone" on the device. The need to have available documents confirming the fact of purchase, according to the rules, is optional.
Some more important points
- If you agree to the delivery of the iPhone under the trade-in program, all information will be deleted from it. We recommend that you take care of creating a fresh backup in advance.
- Passed by iPhone program Not subject to further exchange or return.
- Exchange of the old iPhone for a new one-on-one.
- You can buy a new iPhone only in the store where you donated your old iPhone.
- Only individuals who have reached the age of 18 can take part in the promotion.
Will the program be distributed on iPhone 7s and iPhone 8?
In September 2017, Apple will release its new flagships -, and. We contacted representatives of re: Store and asked them if the trade-in program would apply to latest smartphones Apple According to them, it all depends on whether the program itself will be in effect by that time, since, according to the existing conditions, it will end on August 13th.
Can I use the resulting discount to buy an iPad or Mac?
No, the resulting discount from the old iPhone is used only for the purchase of a new iPhone.
You can only hand over iPhones, which were officially brought here, cleared and generally intended for the Russian market. That is, only such models are subject to exchange, so if the iPhone is bought even in the official Apple Store somewhere in America, Europe will not be able to exchange such a trade-in in Russia.
As far as I found out yesterday, the check is not needed. The phone must be provided in working condition, and it is checked at the time of acceptance serial number, IMEI, additional data that just indicate that it was intended for Russia. Now three retailers are participating in the program, but as far as I know, it is planned to expand the number of networks. That is, it seems like “M.Video” is in talks and will also be involved in this process. In addition to the iPhone, most likely, there will be other products, now the action has a limited effect in time, but again, according to my information, the action will be indefinite. Now the same Apple partner networks sell iPhone SE for 20 thousand rubles, while officially on the campaign website it costs 33 thousand rubles, that is, a discount of about thirteen thousand is quite significant, and now SE are very popular. I think this is one of those marketing techniques that should stimulate sales of new iPhones, including on the eve of the release of the iPhone 8.
Maximum discount up to 30% of the cost of the new iPhone, depending on which one is selected. And the money can not be obtained, you can issue only a discount. That is, the old phone is dealt with, after the assessment some amount is called, if the buyer agrees, then he is given such a discount on the next model. Maximum, if in monetary terms, it is 30 thousand for the most expensive iPhone at the moment, that is, this iPhone 7 Plus is 256 GB, which is quite strange, because it costs about 70 thousand rubles officially.
At the same time, it is said that only “in good condition” phones are accepted. I think that this is such a general formulation so that this assessment boundary is slightly blurred, and, roughly speaking, when visually inspected directly on the spot, the person who performs the acceptance can estimate the discount amount in the case of trade-in as well. Good condition means no chips, damage, scratches, I understand that.
Therefore, because of such complex requirements, it seems to me that this is absolutely not a working design. The iPhone is a liquid product on the secondary market, that it’s easy to sell, and if you need to do it quickly, I’m pretty sure that by lowering the price by 1000 rubles than the average Avito, you can do it all day. And in this case, this trade-in initiative is useless. Therefore, I think that this program will not be popular, but I admit that there is a certain contingent of people who may well be upgraded from an old iPhone to a new one with some small discount.
Why can you take only fourth iPhones and above? Now it is quite difficult to find a third-generation iPhone in good condition, especially the second one. Here we are talking about: these iPhones are most likely sent to Apple for further recycling, and, apparently, the iPhone 4 has some components that can be disassembled, remelted and reused. Therefore, they are interesting to the company.
Apple’s trade-in program operates in countries where there are Apple Store stores (in Russia, this is the only one at TsUM). The exchange service in foreign stores extends not only to the iPhone (as in Russia), but also to other Apple equipment. Smartphones commissioned under the trade-in program will recover, Vedomosti reports, and interest in the program will increase sales of Apple smartphones in Russia by about 10 percent.
What devices are taking?
According to Apple trade-in, iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6/6 Plus, 6s / 6s Plus, 7/7 Plus and SE purchased in Russia are in “good condition”. What is meant by this term is not specified. The exchange program will not be distributed to any other Apple products.
How is the discount amount determined?
This will deal with special software. The amount will depend on the technical condition, the appearance of the device and the prices of used equipment in official international markets. mobile devices. The maximum discount on a new device can be several tens of thousands of rubles, or up to 30%, depending on the model of the device being delivered. It is clear that the maximum discount can be obtained for the iPhone 7, which, by the way,.
Where can I exchange?
So far, three brands are taking part in the program: re: Store, M.Video and Svyaznoy, but in the future the list will expand. Svyaznoy was the first to get ready to participate in the program: you can exchange an old iPhone in more than 100 stores of the chain, and in August all other points will be connected to the program. Two other partner brands should launch the service the other day.
