Apple's Sept. 15 "Time Flies" saw new hardware announcements — and if you ordered a 2020 iPad, Apple Watch Series 6 or Apple Watch SE, now is the time to lock in a price for your used device while bonus cash deals are in effect.
Exclusive Apple trade-in deals
Leading buyback retailers like BuyBackWorld, Decluttr, and Gazelle are all offering AppleInsider readers exclusive trade-in bonuses on Apple hardware. In the case of Decluttr, users can net an additional 10% on top of competitive trade-in values with promo code INSIDERTEN. BuyBack World has two codes running for AI readers: APPLEINSIDER10, which offers an extra $10 on trades over $50 — or APPLEINSIDER20, which delivers a $20 bonus when you sell a device valued over $200.
The providers above offer a variety of payment methods to choose from, such as check or direct deposit, so you aren't limited in how you can use the money. Price lock periods also span 14 to 30 days depending on the retailer, providing you with up to a month of wiggle room to await the rumored iPhone 12, or get your Apple Watch Series 6 set up.
