I’m gonna keep this short. I am planning to get the 15 Pro and want to get the max trade-in value of my phone. Would it be a bad idea to trade-in my XR to Apple for $145 or waiting until after the 15 Pro? I have a spare Pixel I would use in between the upgrade. I’m on T-Mobile if that’s relevant.
historically trade in supply goes up after next gen announcements, driving the price down. https://www.gazelle.com/iphone/iphone-xr/t-mobile
might want to compare prices too first.
I would also add at this point, I’d be hard pressed to say there are going to be massive changes in the price you’d get. A phone tends to decline in value the most for the first few years it’s been released, sort of like how new cars depreciate the fastest in its first three years. So I suppose to answer your question: yes you’d maximize your money if you gave it up today, I just don’t know how much more you’d be making.
