I’ve just got a new IPhone SE. Only because of the Apple trade in. The trade in company have revised the offer to £0 as not working as stated. It worked well enough when I posted it, phone always worked. I take Apple are no better then other trade in companies say one thing, until they get your phone then say something else. Not happy, Anyway rejected the offer of £0 so phone being returned. Sorry this is more of a rant , then wanting advice.

  • Trade in prices are always ridiculously low. You may as well give your old phone to a friend or family member who’d appreciate it or keep as a spare.

    I’m sorry your English is not very good and could not understand exactly who your blaming. What I can understand is you bought the new iPhone SE because of Apple trade in?

    So who is this “trade in company” that revised offer down to £0

    Pot, kettle, black. :/

    Ah well its not a grammar contest just the basics of trying to figure out the rant post. Was it Apple's trade in policy or another trade-in companies policy that the person is ranting about.

    When I upgraded my iPhone 7 I took it into Game and was offered £100, they were selling Grade B iPhones for £220. I put it on Facebook local selling site for £150, accepted offer for £130 and it was gone that afternoon.
