Apple won't get my iPhone 13 mini for the trade-in that they possibly could offer.
It's worth way more for me, as a 'relik' ?

I'll keep it a few more years, love my mini, and as long as there's no issues, it goes nowhere.

Looking at the trade in offerings from Apple one thing is clear:

Apple gear doesn’t hold value longer than the competition and their own list proofs it.
They do, but Apple low-balls you. Don't trade in to Apple.

In Apple’s view, an opportunity to save the planet by recycling it for free.

I was confused when I went on the Apple website and saw the trade in value of my device was lower than the mail-in trade in I started yesterday. Got it just in time.

The gap between Apple’s trade-in values and eBay prices for the same items used to be small enough that I’d just take the lower Apple trade-in price to save myself the hassle of selling on eBay.

That gap is getting bigger. I’m inclined now to upgrade less often and to sell my Apple gear on eBay or similar.

Less than 50% on a one-year-old phone is absolutely pathetic. Tim must be proud.
