I recently cracked the back plate of my iPhone 4. I intend to replace it with a brushed aluminum backing which is in the mail. I later intend to trade in my iPhone for an iPhone 5. Due to the different back panel, will AT&T/Apple accept my product which would be in otherwise mint condition?
apple doesnt do trade ins you can get it replace for 149$ and get exactly what you have back
I'll be more specific. While in an AT&T store, I asked if I'd be able to trade in my phone to buy a new device. An associate told me I would be able to trade in my iPhone 4 for $113 which I would put toward an iPhone 5. Now, after re-reading my initial question, would my phone be considered valid for such a trade in?
Apple does Not offer Trade Ins.
But they do have this...
What you describe is AT&T's buyback program. It has nothing to do with Apple. AT&T will do this with any phone, no just iPhones.
Frankly, you'd get more for the device by selling it to a service like Gazell, Glyde, Amazon, etc.
Thankyou for your response. For some reason it just slipped my mind, but I guess it's irrelevant. I can make a bit less than twice as much just by selling it considering it's in near pristine condition. I would prefer not to go without a phone for a small period of time though, so I may end up using the buyback program. Thank you all. and I apologize for sounding pompous in my second post.
iPhone 4 trade ins?
