New Mail-In iPhone Upgrade Program Spotted Ahead of iPhone X Launch 2v1x5v

Just Apple offered only in-store trade-in programs compelling s to wait a long time before they could trade their old iPhone models for a new one, reason being the new iPhone models ran out of stock immediately. However, the new upgrade program apparently allows you to opt into trade-in by mail, allowing s to avoid a lot of hassle. 465d1l

John Angarano posted on MacRumors forum about spotting an iPhone Upgrade Program eligibility. While poking around the website, he found this by mail Trade-in kit option when he was reading the details mentioned in the 'Trading your iPhone' section.

As mentioned, earlier you had to take your current iPhone and trade it with the new one at the Apple Store. The representative would then help you transfer all your data to the new iPhone, and set it up for you. However, Apple Stores initially ran out stock almost instantly, leaving trade-in customers disappointed. Now, Apple is apparently giving s the option to have a Trade-in kit delivered by mail, where the new iPhone will be delivered to you with a kit to return the old one by mail.

Of course, pre-conditions include that the iPhone should have an intact and functioning display, be free of any breaks and cracks, and should be able to charge and power on. The new trade-in kit will be seen as a welcome addition for all those early adopters who don't want to be left disappointed at the stores.

To get the mailing kit, you need to be a part of the iPhone Upgrade Program. The program gives you free Apple Care privileges, zero interest EMI options, and a new iPhone every year. To sign up, head here.
