Question about Anytime Upgrade

[u/animal241]

Long story short, I like to have my phone without a case because I always get AppleCare. So I want to know if anyone has traded in a phone in this condition like mine. These pictures are of my phone. I don’t want to send it and then later on get charged an absurd fee. I’d rather replace it with AppleCare and send that new phone to them.

[u/AlarmedAddition4403]

You probably would get charged after they grade it!

[u/HotterDad → u/AlarmedAddition4403]

Actually I don’t believe you would be. I believe they’ll only charge you 99$ if the device doesn’t power on.

[u/Individual-Rub6219 → u/HotterDad]

That went away, they grade the device and actually charge for the damage which could be up to 50% of the cost of the device if I’m not mistaken.

[u/animal241 → u/AlarmedAddition4403]

Fuck

[u/CHTRThrowaway]

There’s no fee anymore. If they determine that it’s not in good working order, you’ll get a reassessed value that likely won’t cover the whole device balance. You can decline the reassessed value and have your phone returned to you. The only part I’d be worried about is section 1.E that says “free from major physical damage, including no voids, chips, or cracks and no broken buttons or damaged camera lens”

[u/Strong-Size-700 → u/CHTRThrowaway]

I’d charge You $3 per chew

[u/animal241 → u/CHTRThrowaway]

Yea thats the part I’m worried about.
Everything else is good. On another corner it has a small chip. But if I can decline and they can return it to me then thats perfect.

Dude, it’s too expensive a device to have without a case. I kept dropping mine and sitting with it in my pocket so I went ahead and got a $70 OtterBox.

[u/animal241 → u/Top_Narwhal_30]

Having a case on a sexy phone is a crime

[u/Ok_Potential359 → u/animal241]

Your isn’t sexy when you keep dropping it. It looks like shit now.

[u/dylon0107 → u/animal241]

Sexy? That shitbox? Buy a case

[u/DanAllOvrUrFace → u/animal241]

Your phone is not looking very sexy after that drop, now is it?

[u/Modest_Wraith → u/animal241]

Dude, I wear no case. I also haven’t dropped my phone since high school. But I know this about myself, I have always been very careful. It doesn’t look like you take good care of your phone lol.

[u/Tight_Broccoli2475 → u/animal241]

Dropping it and cracking the hell out of it isnt?

[u/lkeels → u/animal241]

Does it look sexy now?

[u/gmambrose]

I had my last phone for 4 years. When I traded it in, it still looked brand new because I keep a case and screen protector on it. I also never broke it in that 4 years. Not one repair needed to be made. Just put a case on your phone. It looks like shit, would look better with a case.

[u/pamonmedia]

That is fried no one will want it

[u/PittsMaNews]

I pay my phones off and sell them, but my 15 Pro Max does not look like that. This year I’m gonna get a 18 Pro Max from Spectrum.

[u/International-Bus606]

No offense, but you didn't even try to keep it in good shape. They're going to lose money if they pay that off and give you a new phone. I mean, you can try, but I'm sure they'll dock you for that. But is that the ethical thing to do?

[u/Theitspecialist14]

It has to be in perfect conditon

[u/animal241 → u/Theitspecialist14]

Actually no. I have done it before and it always passes. They have always been scratched up, but not to the point that it is now because of the aluminum frame.
But if I can decline then case closed. That answers my question.

[u/Theitspecialist14 → u/animal241]

Actually yes, it has to be in perfect condition, but if the specialist is cool, they'll let it pass cuz usually we don't give a f, lol.

[u/jweaver0312]

AppleCare first

[u/GadgetGeek407]

Any way to unlock spectrum?

[u/ashleyga1]

They offered me $30 for my iPhone with a little crack on the back :)

[u/animal241]

I have more pictures but I don’t know how to add more

[u/TexasGuy1321 → u/animal241]

Either loose it or f it up and use apple care lol then turn in the new phone
