Exchange your old iPhone for a new one. Updating is for MTS! We exchange your iPhone for a new one in trade in

I think you know when it’s a pity to throw away old things or give them to someone for free and they accumulate in your home. This happens for various reasons - something is dear to the heart and evokes pleasant memories, and something is dear to the toad, who categorically does not want to give this thing away for next to nothing :)
But in any case, no one wants to turn their home into a warehouse, and in the end we will end up parting with the item. But it is not exactly.

I have a 10-year-old iPod and my very first iPhone in my desk drawer. I am sure that if you rummage through your closets, you will also find quite a few electronics. Why am I telling this? Yes, because you came here so that I could help you find a compromise with the toad!

You know what it is Trade-in program? For those who don’t know, this is an exchange of old junk for a new one with an additional charge.

In Europe, owners of an outdated iPhone model can exchange for a new device. In Russia, a similar opportunity appeared quite recently. It should be noted that a device such as an iPhone can only be traded in official App Store retail stores. Do not forget that in order to replace a mobile device, certain conditions must be met.

Where can I make an exchange?

If you decide to exchange your iPhone 6 for a brand new iPhone 7, you need to contact authorized service centers. Similar stores are available in all major Russian cities.

In addition to service centers, the service is provided by online stores. These resources include:

apples-lab.ru;
i-ray.ru;

Of course, if you search, you can find other websites that exchange Apple equipment. It should be noted that using third-party resources can be dangerous, as scammers can take advantage of the situation and then take over the iPhone.

Advantages of the trade-in procedure

Before you get an iPhone 7, you need to familiarize yourself with the benefits of the service provided. Onlyphones came up with the best offer:

Any equipment produced between 2006 and 2016 is subject to exchange;
It is possible to exchange not only a phone for a phone, but also any device (iPad to iPhone 7, etc.);
To estimate the cost of a device, experts can use ad platforms. This is necessary for the device to be valued at market value;
The assessment is carried out only in your presence, thus avoiding fraud;
Immediately after the assessment, the iPhone will be replaced with a new one;
When the exchange for iPhone 7 is completed, specialists will transfer all data from the old device.

The exchange procedure is completed within half an hour. Another important point is the conditions for replacing the sixth or another iPhone model.

How to use the service

Device model (including color and memory capacity);
List the equipment (charger, headset, flash drive);
iPhone serial number;
7 photographs in good quality and from different angles;
Was the phone under repair (if so, indicate the reason for the breakdown);
Specify the device to which the exchange will be made (iPhone 7 or something else).

A preliminary assessment of the device based on photographs will be made in the near future. An email will then be sent indicating the cost of the phone.

If you are satisfied with the assessment results, you need to go to the company’s office, where the old iPhone will be exchanged for a new one with an additional payment. All you have to do is pay the remaining amount and you can pick up a brand new iPhone.

How much does an old device cost?

Before a commercial iPhone replacement is carried out, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the approximate prices for a used iPhone:

4S: 3200-6300 rub.;
5: 7200-10500 rub.;
5S: 11000-16500 rub.;
6: 20000-31000 rub.;
6S: RUB 30,000-58,000

Since it is possible to exchange not only an old iPhone for a new one, you should consider prices for other Apple devices:

iPad: RUB 2,000-38,000;
MacBook Air: RUB 14,000-45,000;
MacBook Pro: RUR 20,000-78,000;
Apple Watch: RUB 12,000-48,000;
iMac: RUR 14,000-78,000

If you don't like the prices, you don't have to exchange your iPhone for a new one. If desired, it is possible to sell a mobile device at a better price through Avito or another similar bulletin board. Do not forget that in this case, you will have to wait indefinitely. It is also important to remember about safety. Sometimes message boards are used by scammers.

Exchange process

Having decided to exchange your mobile phone and sent it for preliminary analysis, you need to go to the service center. If there is a queue at the store, you can look through the catalog or look at the available models. Thus, it becomes possible to familiarize yourself with the functionality of the gadget in advance.

When it’s your turn, you need to provide the consultants with your mobile device. It is recommended to return your old phone in the box and with all accessories. Appearance directly affects the value of your iPhone. The better preserved the device, the more money the store employees will give for it.

The returned phone will be assessed. It is noteworthy that the examination is carried out with your participation. Thus, you can be sure that the store employees will do everything without deception. When the iPhone is replaced, employees can immediately transfer all data from the old device to the new one.

In many centers, consultants offer their clients a free phone case or protective film as a bonus. Usually the exchange procedure takes 25-30 minutes.

Summarize

If you are interested in exchanging your old iPhone for a newer model, you should immediately use the trade-in service. Do not forget that replacement of the device comes with an additional charge. This is much more profitable than just going to the store to buy a new iPhone. Do not forget that you need to hand over your mobile device only to a verified center. Otherwise, you may be left without your phone and money.

As for prices for used devices, they can be changed depending on the dollar exchange rate and the market value of the iPhone. To get more money for your old model, you need to keep all the boxes and components. And of course, remember the presentation of the device.

iPhone exchange is a profitable offer for Apple technology users. If your gadget cannot be repaired, you can get a new one of the same model with a guarantee by paying a certain amount, which will be known after the diagnosis. The price of this service depends on the condition of your smartphone.

Everyone knows that Apple replaces broken smartphones with new ones for users completely free of charge if the cause of the breakdown is a manufacturing defect. It is possible to replace an iPhone from an Apple representative under this program only if the smartphone itself was purchased in the country in which you want to replace it.

If you bought your device in an unofficial store, online store or from a retailer, then you can also replace your iPhone using this program, but in this case some difficulties will arise. You won't be able to replace your iPhone with a new one if the damage was caused by the device falling or getting wet. In addition, this type of warranty does not apply to devices whose warranty period has expired.

At the PlanetiPhone service center, you can always replace your broken iPhone, no matter for what reason, with a new one at an additional cost. You can find out more about the cost of the surcharge in the table above. We replace absolutely any iPhone model with similar new ones. In some cases, the timing and price of replacing the device are negotiated individually. As usual, the replacement period does not exceed fourteen working days.

If you bought your device in an unofficial store, via the Internet, brought it from abroad, it was given to you, and you have no idea where it was purchased and the breakdown was your fault - we provide a replacement service for a new iPhone. We will also replace your iPhone if your device’s warranty has long expired.

You can change your iPhone in almost any condition:

Our PlanetiPhone Service Center replaces the iPhone if there is no visible damage to it, as well as damage to the display and body of the smartphone. If the screen is broken or the motherboard has been repaired, then the process of replacing the smartphone with a new one at your additional cost will be negotiated individually. If there are small scratches on the screen from using the smartphone, then replacement is carried out as usual. Our service replaces smartphones that have failed due to moisture getting on them, after the devices have been dropped, or that have been damaged due to a voltage drop in the network during charging or after repairs in other service centers.

In order to replace your smartphone with a new one, you must first unlink it from your Apple ID and disable the Find My iPhone function. This is done in the smartphone settings. If your device does not turn on, then all these settings can be changed from your computer on iCloud.com.

Upgrading to a new iPhone is a common practice all over the world

Residents of the USA and Europe have been using this service from Apple for a long time. In addition, today the Cupertino team launched a new promotion where you can simply bring your old device to the Apple store and simply sell it.

This program was launched to ensure that recycling does not pollute the environment. For this purpose, the company’s specialists have created a special robot that completely disassembles any iPhone in just a couple of seconds, after which it is disposed of without harming the environment.

Everything is quite simple. We'll tell you how.

As it turns out, even in Russia, a broken iPhone can be easily repaired replace with a new one- not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg and other cities. Moreover, in an official Apple service center it will not cost much more than the cost of repair in an unofficial repair shop.

Pay attention! Replacing old Apple devices with new ones is the official practice of the manufacturing company, and not someone’s invention.

After an unpleasant situation that my good friend from St. Petersburg encountered, I choose the official service - at least when it comes to serious repairs. I'll explain why.

Unfortunately, the original photos of the devices were not preserved. Nobody expected such a turn of events.

What even happened?

He called me quite early in the morning with the message “she” is wrong again, and this issue needs to be urgently discussed. Almost immediately I left Moscow to visit him in St. Petersburg to help him morally.

In general, I quarreled with my wife. According to him, she did not wash his “running” shorts in a timely manner, so he went for a jog in a nearby park wearing sweatpants with “bad” pockets. One day from one of them a brand new iPhone 6s dropped.

Despite some kind of protective case and tempered glass on the screen, the smartphone “did not survive” - a broken display, a dented body and a cracked camera.

We will not judge who is right and who is wrong. Let’s also skip thoughts about sports cases for the hand. We have already discussed all these points over a couple of glasses of dark wine. It turned out to be an excellent reason to meet an old friend, but in the case of this article this is not the most important thing.

What did you decide to do?

The main advice is not to rush. I understand perfectly well that today it’s difficult to live without a phone even for one day, but there’s no need to give it away for repair to an unknown location.

But he did it wrong. The next morning, I took the iPhone to the nearest unofficial service, which promised to solve all its problems not very expensively and in the shortest possible time.

The guys have already successfully changed the batteries of mutual friends on old iPhones, which were inherited by relatives, as well as the screen on one broken iPad. Therefore, the decision to trust them “on advice” was far from the stupidest.

I doubt it's too expensive, but for the repair counted almost 23 thousand rubles- 15 for the screen, 3 for the body and 5 for the camera. It’s also a pity, in this case we are talking about high-quality, but non-original parts.

Something went wrong?

In a couple of months iPhone Stopped unlocking with fingerprint, and the Touch ID section in the menu turned out to be inactive. A couple of attempts to reflash the device did not lead to anything.

We took the iPhone to another unofficial service to find out what facts to deal with before the one who carried out the repair.

It turned out that the latter had placed the cable of the Home button incorrectly, so it pressed on it while pressing and eventually broke. Everything would be fine, but due to the safety of the mechanism, it cannot be adequately replaced. The device works fine, but without all the benefits of Touch ID.

The specialists simply refused any responsibility. Repair warranty- one month. Then you solve all the problems yourself or for a fee.

What needed to be done?

I’ve never encountered a similar question, but the guys “in the know” suggested that in situations where repairs are far from cheap, it’s better change Apple devices to new ones at official service centers.

Cost of replacing a broken iPhone 6s - from 10,990 rubles. Of course, there are other iPhone and iPad options, and even the Apple Watch. The latter case is especially relevant for users who are involved in active sports, and tablets - if they are used by the younger generation, who are not yet distinguished by neatness.

All prices are comparable to more or less serious device repairs:

iPhone SE - 25,500 rub.
iPhone 6 - RUR 27,990
iPhone 6 Plus - RUR 29,990
iPhone 6s - RUR 29,990
iPhone 6s Plus - RUR 31,990

iPad mini 2 - 21,500 rub.
iPad mini 3/4 - 30,500 rub.
iPad Air - RUR 26,990
iPad Air 2 - 31,500 rub.
iPad Pro 9.7’’ - RUR 37,500
iPad Pro 12.9’’ - 56,500 rub.

Apple Watch

Apple Watch Sport - RUR 19,500
Apple Watch - 27,500 rub.

In the end we would get Brand new device with manufacturer's warranty, adding just a little more than 6 thousand rubles. This is the right decision that we didn’t know about.

It’s a pity that there are no escape routes left for further work with the “officials”. Only devices without the consequences of unqualified repairs and any non-original components are accepted for replacement. We can't go any further.

By the way, if you are replacing a device, do not forget to turn off the “Find iPhone” function - this is a prerequisite.

What did you learn from the situation?

Of course, if you need to replace the battery or make any simple repairs, you can contact a regular workshop, which you can definitely trust.

But any complex manipulations, which will cost a pretty penny, it is better to reformat it into a commercial replacement in the Trade-In center- you will receive a completely new device with a warranty from the manufacturer. And we have seen this from our own experience.
