Am I being unreasonable - Istore Fourways???

There is quite a lot going on up the top of the phone, including a microphone.

 

Regardless, their trade in offers are insulting.

 

Edit: Above not iPhone 8, ooops. My bad.

To be fair.. I wouldn't be surprised.

 

The amount of people I see who walk around on a call - but with it on speaker and talking at the phone held in front of them, as opposed to normal humans who hold it up to their ears. I see as many people shouting at the top of the phone as the bottom. So maybe I'm the idiot ????????‍♂️

Makes sense. The values are dramatically affected if the reseller needs to do any work whatsoever on them. Remember that the Istore will be paying values dictated by a third party in most cases.

 

As for iPhone 6, you’d be pretty lucky to get anything as a trade in. Far better just to sell them second hand .

Ja, it's a voucher too so it's not really 'real' money anyway. We'll just put them back in the rainy day cupboard for when who knows what happens or we just eventually give them away.

I wouldn't bother trading in at iStore.

 

Decided to jump ship to Android after 14 years, filled in a form on www.webuyphones.co.za and self valued my iPhone XR at R7000 according to their table. They sent a courier to collect, inspected and made an instant transfer.

 

But I respect that they need to sell the phone as CPO so I would never send in a phone repaired outside the certified channels.
