iPhone 13 Pre-Order Date & Time: Tips & Tricks

Look for Deals & Lock In a Trade-in Price

If you're planning to get rid of your old phone, make sure you take a look at sites that buy used phones and see what kind of price you can lock in for your phone.

Trade-in values will start to fluctuate so the sooner you can lock in a price the better. Remember, in many cases, locking in a trade doesn’t mean you need to go through with the sale.

Apple and many of its partners are offering iPhone trade-in deals and you should investigate those before you commit to buying an iPhone 13. 

Remember that you'll need a phone in pristine condition if you want to get the maximum amount back for your device. That's why you'll probably want to shop around.

Unfortunately, we may not see straight price cuts on the new iPhone 13 models for awhile. If you don't have a device in good condition to trade-in, and you don't want to pay full price, you might want to wait a few weeks or, in some cases, until next year to buy your iPhone 13.
