Apple uses a trade-in of an iPhone 8 Plus as its benchmark for advertising the net cost of the iPhone 11 on the front page of its website. As a result, the $30 decrease in value of the iPhone 8 Plus has increased Apple's advertised net price of the cheapest iPhone 11 models from $449 to $479. The iPhone 11 starts at $699 without trade-in.

Convenience, eBay fees, PayPal fees, potential for fraudulent buyer ripping you off, etc. Yeah you’ll usually make some more selling it on your own but for a lot of people it’s not worth the hassle.Why anybody would trade them in is beyond me
And of course you'd similarly demand that Touch ID screen work with gloves and with undiminished security? Right?Unless there is Touch ID under the screen, I'm waiting another year in the current COVID environment.
Pretty sad scam selling $1000+ FACE ID iPhones that don't even work with a mask. :mad:
You’re using “face” in caps, yet you’re hiding half of your face and still expect it to work? If you don’t care about having a safe authentication I recommend just disable all security on your phone.Pretty sad scam selling $1000+ FACE ID iPhones that don't even work with a mask. :mad:
Hassle free. The second hand market is nothing like it was 4-5 years ago. You can probably get $100 more going eBay or craigslist (not including the XS max), but that isn't worth it to me personally.Why anybody would trade them in is beyond me, you get more on eBay for a used iPhone.
