Apple about to launch accessory discount with in-store recycling promotion

Last updated

Apple will soon encourage customers to bring their old gear in to an Apple Store that wouldn't qualify for store credit to get a discount on AirPods, AirTags, and more.

It's spring, which means it's time to declutter our homes and discard unwanted items. Apple thinks so, too, and is planning a promotion to help you turn your old and unwanted Apple tech into credit for new Apple accessories.

Starting Wednesday, Apple will offer a limited-time in-store recycling promotion, likely as part of an Earth Day incentive. The deal will only last a month, so you'll want to hurry.

Mark Gurman posted about the deal on X on Tuesday.

The promotion allows customers to bring in items typically not eligible for trade-in credit for a 10% discount on Apple Accessories. The deal caps at $20 and can be used to purchase products such as AirPods, AirTags, Apple Pencil, and more.

Of the items listed as eligible for the promotion, don’t think anything is more expensive than $200 (10% of $200 is $20). The most expensive item on the list seems to be (please correct me if I’m mistaken) the “Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad” (the more expensive black one) at $199. So there shouldn’t be any practical issues with a $20 cap. But also, I don’t see a $20 cap mentioned in the terms of service anyway.
