I had no idea you felt that way. I'll email Tim and let him know the trade-in program can be shuttered.
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Gifting means you get nothing, not sure how that makes sense. Selling it is only going to get you a little more and you have to deal with the hassle of selling it.
The point of gifting is to give something, not get.


Money is not an issue for me, but I would never get ****ed on a trade in by Tim Apple, on general principle alone. I'd rather give the item to a friend or family member, or donate it.
I feel the same way. Money isn't a concern for us, but I never trade any Apple devices in. I keep it long enough to recycle it or give it to someone. Their trade-in values are bunk.

Don’t do Apple trade-in unless you have no other choice

The values they offer are poor and then your money is trapped in Apple gift cards

(Still have $500 plus trapped in Apple gift card from doing a trade in several years ago)
Yeah, you don't do a trade-in for giftcards, you use the trade-in the item you are buying.

Their trade in values are really insulting TBH. Unless you’re just lazy and don’t care, fine. Or have no one to gift one to.
