5 months ago I purchased the 512 GB 2019 15-inch Macbook Pro, and now the 16-inch version came out. I've wondered if I can trade my 2019 Macbook Pro for the newer model, is it possible? I don't know if they charge you a fee, but is it possible? I checked on the Apple Official website on the Trade-In tab and the only models that are enlisted are up to the mid 2018 15-inch model.
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
You may have to wait a little while before Apple adds it to the trade-in list. The 16-inch was released just last week, so it may be too soon for Apple to have added it. I'd check back in a week or two to see if it is included in the list of tradable MacBook Pros as I see no reason why it won't be added eventually.
Edit: Did you enter your serial number and find that list? It's possible you purchased a 2018 version in 2019. Perhaps that is the issue?
For a more precise indication, click the Apple button in the top left then click About This Mac. It will say something like "MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)" or something like that in your case.
If it does say 2019, then Apple probably just hasn't added it to the list yet because the 2016 MacBook Pro was released to recently.
I did entered correctly the serial number. I tried attaching a ss, but it didn't let me. However I've checked in the hardware tab that it has a 8-core Intel 9 Core, and as far as I know the 2019 15-inch version is the only Mac that had had that processor up till the 16 inch version was released.
Same thing happened to me. 2016 MacBook Pro battery swelling made clicking very difficult. Apple store told me August no way was a new MacBook Pro coming out because they had just updated the 15". Paid $38oo plus. Hate the keyboard.
This is our own fault. We deserve it. Trusting a company will do good for their customer is just the biggest mistake. They assured us that they fixed their keyboard issue but not even a day later added to the service list. Guess what I had to service my keyboard already two times. They knew this would happen. This was an interim solution to keep the market up and we got coughed like a fish. By the time they will accept trade in for our $4K investment, more than half value will be depreciated. Then they would expect us to spend another $2-3k as if it is a very normal deal. I hope court would solve this issue once for all and that will be great lesson to the industry.
Good luck - wouldn't happen.I got stung to, we were baited and I am so ****** - absolute bad bad form .This machine ewe have is crap against the new 16 inch!
Yeah, it was kinda BS to release a new 15" and then replace it a couple of months later. Really left a bad taste in my mouth. :(
What gets me, is I specifically asked in August if this was going to happen and the ? geniuses in the store said not very likely !
¿Does trade-in work with the 2019 15 inch MacBook Pro when buying the 16 inch version?
