    Why apple is doing this?

    I have the same one but it’s like new still turns on and just have a battery drain fast. But I wanted to keep it and put it in a frame but I been saying it for years lmao. I don’t want any new apple products so I just want credit on my account lol

    This recycle program is not applied for Apple Stores around the world. At least not here in Brazil. I have an old MacBook and I have just called Apple Store in São Paulo and there is no discount for purchasing any accessories in the store. Unfortunately

    Use old iproducts to replace paper like sticky notes, calendars, and photos all over the house. They literally excel at that and can be run on airplane mode so even the old batteries hold up fairly well. Great for keeping track of notes. I use an old iPad for home maintenance notes and home maintenance calendaring.

  10. @leonnewhall7088

    April 25, 2025 at 11:46 am

    The true reason we don’t recycle is because they overcharged us for the device and then they want to underpass for the old device so they can make triple the money taking it apart and selling the parts these phone companies are crooks coming and going

  11. @YourMom-br2je

  15. @Michalos86

    April 25, 2025 at 12:50 pm

    As far as I know Apple is just trying to remove those old phones from the market and destroy them.
    That way consumers can only buy newer phones, not repair old ones with spare parts from the broken ones.

  16. @breezy4_

    April 25, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    HAs to be under $200 as well. I traded in a few things the other day and they said it had to be apple branded accessories and under $200

    Everything apple does is calculated down to the last penny. They take that phone if old enough will scrap everything including the precious metals and rare earth materials. They take the metal frame and recycle it. The glass will even get recycled as well. The newer ones if in good shape may take it and refurbish it or send it to 3rd world countries and resell them there. They only will give credit at Apple as payment which lowers their cost even more.

    I actually have wanted to repair my bootlooped LG V10. I’m just reluctant that the replacement board will bootloop again and I’m surprised the price for the board hasn’t reduced by much at Aliexpress. I still love the phone and wanna use it as a music device

    I usually give my old tech to someone who can’t afford these things.
    But yours is broken so yeah it makes sense to recycle it at an Apple store.

  24. @pgrey1312

    The tariff plan will evidently lead to high inflation, the high inflation is a significant reason why most retirees have sleepless nights. The increase in prices of everyday items puts them at risk of running out of money. As prices rise, the amount of money retirees can withdraw from their retirement savings also increases

    • @Elizabethalfonso-n6q

      April 26, 2025 at 6:23 am

      The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I’m concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing.
      The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether l’ll have sufficient funds for retirement

    • @Arévalotylerpeterson

      April 26, 2025 at 6:24 am

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I’ve been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I’ve made over $800,000

    Great advice. I have iPhones 3G (a single line crack in the screen); iPhone 4S, and 7Plus (both in good condition). All cluttering up a drawer. I also have two other iPhones that I use daily, iPhone SE 2 and an iPhone 11. My kids ask me often, why do I need 2 phones since I am retired. I guess I am just EXTRA. 😂

    If apple cared about the environment, they wouldn’t have removed the charger from the box. If someone buys a charger, it’s 2x everything getting it delivered to you. Y’all brainwashed lol Sell it 3rd party or find a local recycling center.

    When a new Galaxy S phone is available for pre-orders, Samsung might offer an over trade-in value of $250 plus whatever your old phone is worth, to be used as credits towards buying a brand new Galaxy S phone. So, even if your 10 year old phone has a trade-in value of just $10, Samsung will offer you a total trade-in of $260.
