From ABC7.com……
Apple this week widened the price range for its flagship smartphones, announcing the iPhone 12 mini at $699 for users who balk at spending over $1,000 for more premium models.
But for people who want to spend even less – in one case, absolutely nothing – to upgrade, Apple and major wireless carriers are doling out big discounts to those trading in their old devices.
T-Mobile and Verizon are offering customers trade-in credits ranging from $200 to $850, depending on how old their phone is and whether they already have a plan with the carrier. AT&T, meanwhile, will effectively give customers a free phone if they commit to an unlimited data plan for 30 months while also trading in older phones with a value of at least $95. (AT&T owns CNN’s parent company, WarnerMedia).
