Apple XR 64GB starting at $649 after trade in

just came back from yorkdale. ignore my previous comment - the trade-in is given as an Apple store gift card which can be used on any iphone. The salesrep didn't even look at my phone - just placed it straight into a zip lock bag and applied the credit to my purchase. quite a few people were coming in to trade-in their phones (bunch of 6s pluses which gave $250 regardless of the memory size)

The actual trade in values seem to follow the ones you can get quoted online: so 315 for a 7 plus, 350 for an 8, etc. Massive headache and frustration.

Hardly worth it when I sold my iphone 7 (not the +) for 300 today, was asking 425 but said screw it, I have the pixel 3 xl now.

For those of you doing a trade like this just sell privately as it probably won't take long then you have more towards the phone.

Whoever purchased a new phone through the promo, did you have to pay the price of the new phone including tax first, then the trade-in value was deducted? I'm trying to calculate what the exact amount I would get to pay. Thanks!!

They put the value on a gift card. They calculate full cost of the new iPhone you’re buying with taxes and then deduct the value of your gift card after.

Everything worked fine today when I traded in my iphone 6s plus. Received $250 TIV and picked up an XsMax 64GB. The specialist i dealt with indicated that the trade-in credit could be applied any device including ipad and iwatch contrary to what their advertisement says. My gf will go in tomorrow and trade in her iphone 6 for $150 towards the iwatch.

How much was your total after taxes and after trade in?

Any1 in QC pls don't do this, you can get an XR for $580 from Koodo.

Southgate. Specialist’s name was Jordan. Taller caucasian guy.

Do they accept phone with a cracked screen for trade-in?

Looked up my SE and it's showing a trade-in value of $75.

I am guessing the XS has better specs than the XR, even though its a smaller screen?

Check your Koodo accounts for comparable deals.

It's $550 upfront then $360 (24x$15) - $150 bill credits = $760, and I'm still not biting. Yet.

The above is YMMV and does not account for taxes, but my main point is buying outright isn't always cheaper.

XS has oled screen and dual camera
Other specs are the mostly the same (memory and processor).

I don’t find that XS is worth it compared to XR.

I see this on Koodo too. I’m able to upgrade to a X at $760 and keep the existing $40/8GB plan. I figure this is an ok deal seeing that I don’t have to do a trade in and it’s slightly cheaper for me than going through Apple (trading in iPhone 6s).
Are you holding out for bigger credits/lower upfront?

I'm just assessing if the wife needs an upgrade right now or if it can wait until a few months. Just staggering the outflow of money during the holidays.

$760 is the right price. But for a few days in the past 2 months, there was an extra $50 off. If it returns, I'll bite. Else I'll wait just a bit longer.

Ottawa, Bayshore Apple Store - I traded in 2 x iPhone 6 16GB and didn't have any problem getting $150 each trade in (for a total of $300) off of one 64GB iPhone XR. The sales person did up 2 x $150 gift cards and applied them to the purchase. Probably could have got more private sales of the iPhone 6 - but the convenience right up front sold me. Going from iPhone 6 16GB to XR 64GB is a pretty good upgrade for me.

just curious, was the tax charged on the full price of the xr? or after the giftcards were applied?

better screen (higer res, OLED), more system memory, better camera, better waterproof rating, stainless steel vs aluminum, 3D touch
