This applies to those devices, the use of which is still within the warranty period, while they are serviced by an official Apple service center. There are also situations when the warranty card is no longer valid, the equipment is out of order or partially crashed, its restoration is required .. Here you can change the equipment that was in operation for a new one, with a certain surcharge.

How do I exchange a phone?

  • malfunction of buttons, speaker and microphone;
  • cracks and chips;
  • wear and deformation of the body;

  • the structure is disassembled and some of the details are missing;
  • very significant damage;
  • presence in the system of non-original components.

The iPhone must be real and Find My iPhone disabled. Also, the gadget cannot be replaced after restoration - Refurbished.

How to exchange an iPhone 6 for a new one?

You can replace a broken gadget if it complies with ROSTEST and EUROEST. There should also be a 1-2 year warranty. The procedure has the following steps:

  • Registration of an application on the company's website or by phone.
  • Service visit for equipment diagnostics. Takes no more than 3 hours. In the absence of an opportunity to visit the workshop, you can use courier delivery.
  • Based on the diagnosis result, the cost of the service is established, and the manager informs about its value.
  • Once all details have been agreed, Apple is requested to destroy the old device and receive an identical new one.

The duration of the procedure is about 2-3 days. The workshop works as quickly and efficiently as possible, so the device does not have to wait for several months, as it happens in many cases.

How much does the replacement cost?

In order to exchange the iPhone 6 as profitably and inexpensively as possible, it must meet certain criteria. Various factors affect the cost. The main ones include:

  • Previously completed repairs. If the iPhone has been previously repaired, it is important that seals and important elements are not touched in it. Also, when performing replacement of elements, original components had to be used.
  • Warranty period. It is very important that the model is under warranty. This will allow you to complete the procedure for free. If the warranty expires, the cost of replacement will be determined based on various factors.
  • General state. If the structure and the case are not badly damaged, there are small scratches and small abrasions on the device, it is completely intact, then the replacement will be inexpensive. If the problems are significant, it will be more expensive.

What are the terms of the program, which iPhones are accepted, is it profitable or is it better to sell the iPhone in the secondary market? We figured out in detail the work of the trade-in program in Russia in this material.

What is a trade-in?

Trade-in is a program for exchanging old devices for a discount when buying a new one. When the device is handed over to trade-in, it is assessed based on the relevance of the model, its technical and external condition. The amount for which the device has been priced is provided to the user as a discount on the purchase of a new one.

Speaking as much as possible in simple words then you bring your old iPhone to the store, hand it over (after evaluation) and immediately get a discount on your purchase new iPhone in the same store.

Why has Apple launched a trade-in program in Russia?

Apple officially launched its own trade-in program back in 2013, but it did not start working in Russia. Well, now the company has changed its mind or has it decided to give the Russians the opportunity to hand over their old iPhones?

In fact, Apple's official trade-in program never made it to us. The program for exchanging old iPhones for new ones was launched by Apple's Russian partners - retailers Svyaznoy and re: Store. An indication of the launch of the program "from above", nevertheless, probably was. In June 2017, Apple's main competitor launched its trade-in program in Russia - Samsung... Apparently, Apple did not want to lag behind.

Where can I hand over old iPhones in exchange for new ones?

The trade-in program was originally launched in re: Store and Svyaznoy. By contacting the showrooms of these stores, you can evaluate and, if you wish, return your old iPhone in exchange for a discount on the purchase of a new model.

In the near future, the trade-in program will also be launched in M.Video. It is reported that the retailer is finishing negotiating with Apple to provide its customers with such an opportunity.

Until what date is the trade-in program valid?

According to the first data, the trade-in program in Svyaznoy and re: Store should have been unlimited. However, when studying the rules of the program, we noticed that in re: Store the promotion is held from July 22 to August 13, 2017. The rules of the trade-in program "Svyaznoy" do not indicate the expiration date.

Which iPhones can I take in the program?

The following iPhone models can be donated under the trade-in program:

  • iPhone 4 8/16/32 GB
  • iPhone 4S 8/16/32/64 GB

  • iPhone 5C 8/16/32 GB
  • iPhone 6 16/64/128 GB
  • iPhone 6 Plus 16/64/128 GB
  • iPhone 6S 16/32/64/128 GB
  • iPhone 6S Plus 16/32/64/128 GB
  • iPhone 7 32/128/256 GB
  • iPhone 7 Plus 32/128/256 GB
  • iPhone SE 16/32/64/128 GB

In other words, you can drop off any used iPhone starting with the iPhone 4.

Which iPhones are eligible for the program discount?

  • iPhone 7 Plus 32/128/256 GB
  • iPhone SE 32/128 GB

Can I downgrade my iPhone?

Let's say you stop liking your iPhone 6s Plus because of its imposing size. Under the trade-in program, you can turn it in and get a discount on the purchase of a compact iPhone SE, there will be no problems with that.

Can I get an installment plan when buying an iPhone under the trade-in program?

No, you can buy a new iPhone after receiving a discount for returning the old one only for cash or on credit. What's more, no other discounts on iPhone purchase when receiving a discount for the return of an old smartphone is not provided.

How are older iPhones ranked?

The size of the discount on the purchase of a new iPhone for returning the old one is determined after:

  • testing a smartphone using a special application from Belmont Trading, which assesses the technical condition of the device,
  • inspection appearance iPhone,
  • testing the functionality of iPhone functions.

When the store employee has determined the cost of the old iPhone, it is announced to the buyer, who can refuse to change it if the size of the discount provided does not suit him.

How to evaluate your iPhone from the comfort of your home

On the official website of Euroset, a system for evaluating the cost of old iPhones that participate in the trade-in program is available. When assessing, it allows you to take into account the model, technical and external condition of the smartphone. True, not all models are presented in the list of iPhones available for delivery in the system, so this calculator should be used only for preliminary assessment your smartphone.

What is the maximum discount for iPhone return?

The maximum possible discount on the purchase of a new iPhone for returning the old one is 30%. This means that by handing over, for example, an iPhone 6s with 64 GB of memory in excellent condition, you will be able to purchase an iPhone 7 Plus with 256 GB of memory at a price reduced immediately by 31 thousand rubles.

What is more profitable - selling an old iPhone or handing it over to trade-in?

As foreign practice shows, selling an old iPhone in the secondary market is more profitable than handing over a smartphone under the trade-in program. However, if you don't have the time or desire to sell your old iPhone yourself, the trade-in program will really help out.

My iPhone is in a terrible state, can I exchange it?

According to the trade-in program, iPhones with breakdowns and poor appearance can be accepted. But it should be understood that the size of the discount in this case will be reduced. In addition, employees of Apple retailers may not accept the frankly "killed" iPhone.

I bought an iPhone by installments, can I participate in the promotion?

According to the rules, iPhones that were purchased under the installment plan without an initial payment and overpayment do not participate in the promotion.

Can I get money in hand for handing over an old iPhone?

No, you only get a discount on buying a new iPhone for your old iPhone. Cash are not issued.

Can I trade in someone else's iPhone?

When handing in an old iPhone through the trade-in program, you must prove ownership. According to the rules published on the official re: Store website, you must deactivate the Find My iPhone feature on your device. The need to have available documents confirming the fact of purchase, according to the rules, is optional.

A few more important points

  • If you agree to the trade-in of your iPhone, all information will be deleted from it. We recommend that you take care of creating a fresh backup in advance.
  • Rented by iPhone program no further exchange or refund.
  • The exchange of an old iPhone for a new one is done one-to-one.
  • You can only buy a new iPhone from the store where you dropped off your old iPhone.
  • Only individuals who have reached the age of 18 can take part in the promotion.

Will the program be rolled out to iPhone 7s and iPhone 8?

In September 2017, Apple will release its new flagships -

Why do we need a trade-in at all?

Trade-in itself is a very convenient service. It implies a surcharge for a new product, taking into account the delivery of the old one. Apple in Russia periodically held such events earlier in the form of promotions: in 2014 this promotion was launched by Eldorado, later Euroset and DNS and others. This allows you to "tie" a 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 conditions on partner sites. Will iPhones with a broken speaker or microphone be replaced? What if I changed the battery (which nearly 50% of iPhone users do)? What if I got the device wet?

You will not know the amount for which you will sell your model until you come to the store with your passport.

Svyaznoy says the promotion is unlimited, while the re: Store website says it will be valid until August 15th. The promotion is valid throughout Russia.

How is it announced on the partner's website?

“The promotion is valid when buying in retail stores and when ordering from an online store, subject to self-pickup. IPhone 4 and newer are available for sale, and iPhone 6 and newer can be purchased. The iPhone returned 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 amount of the discount, you need to contact any retail store with a passport and an iPhone. When buying for a promotion, it is not possible to issue an iPhone in installments, but credit is available. The promotion cannot be combined with other discounts and special offers. bonus program valid only for accrual, bonuses can not be debited.

The number of products participating in the promotion is limited. The company reserves the right to early completion of the promotion, ”the website says.

How does it actually work now?

The cost of a trade-in is calculated individually and only when viewed in a store. The iPhone must work, must be purchased only from an official reseller in Russia, and must not have chips or cracks. All of Europe, America and Asia are passing by.

Accepts any iPhone, starting from iPhone 4. Plug prices: from 500 rubles. (iPhone 4) up to 25,000 rubles. (iPhone 7 Plus 256).

On the spot, a store employee inspects the device visually. The device is then connected to a computer, which reads data from the iPhone and communicates with Apple's servers. Apple returns the amount of the discount in rubles or reports a refusal.

The iPhone cannot be disassembled. 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 with all the conditions, confirms the transfer of the device and refuses claims.

On an old iPhone, Apple ID is disabled, the password is removed, "Find iPhone" is turned off, all infa is erased. The owner chooses the iPhone model to which he wants to change it.

For this model, immediately after signing the contract (on the spot, you cannot leave to think, you cannot get a gift card or a certificate for a discount), a discount is given equal to the amount that the server displayed to the employee.

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 run into money, divorce. Speed ​​is also important here: in 30 minutes you sell your old iPhone and get a new one for a surcharge.

What are the most embarrassing moments, especially in Russia?

Prices for old devices are very much lower than the market for used equipment. Having a cursory glance at Avito and other trade-in services, you understand that the price for an old device is unprofitable.

For example, the calculation for old iPhones is as follows:

  • Apple estimates iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition at 25,000 rubles (on site)
  • DamProdam buys iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 37,000 rubles (pay immediately)
  • Avito offers an iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 40,000 rubles (the sale process will take time)

The installment system does not work on the iPhone purchased under the trade-in program from Apple partners (when, when buying a new iPhone, you take an installment plan for 6-12 months and make payments without interest). You do not receive real money for an old device, only an estimated value that can be set off when buying a new iPhone. There is no question of any online service.

Why was the trade-in announced right now?

The release of the 8th iPhone model is approaching. Apple is trying to sell as much as possible possible amount iPhone 7, as well as "warm up" the audience before the release of the 8th iPhone.

Oddly enough, in 10 years since the release first iPhone in Russia there was no "cultural" trade-in. Almost always, the only option to sell your old iPhone is through message boards and acquaintances. Well, and there is always an option to give it to someone close to you (anyway better than disposal).

How does a trade-in in the US at an Apple Store work?

In the US, the iPhone buyback program and its subsequent replacement with a new model operates in all Apple branded stores.

Apple itself is not involved in the processing of second-hand devices delivered as part of a trade-in: they seem to be given over to Brightstar (it deals with distribution, buyout and trade). There is no official data, but they say so on the sidelines.

The prices at which they buy phones are low. For an iPhone 6 with 64 GB in excellent condition, in terms of rubles, they give a maximum of 9000. What ?!

For the condition "below average" Apple is ready to offer only "free recycling". The condition itself is diagnosed only in the store.

What other options are there for trade-in Apple technology in the States?

Also popular in the USA third party services trade-in, who 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 specifies the parameters of the device, condition and equipment, then the service shows the cost online. It's like CarPrice, only about phones. And the price is not inside and out, but clearly defined.
