On October 23, the iPhone 12 came, with the retro and tough style of returning to the right-angle frame; Lao Luo smiled, and the design concept of “sleek, sharp and heterogeneous” that the hammer insisted on was again Apple picked it up again.
If design is a metaphysics, then it is natural to like the new and dislike the old. Data shows that the number of iPhone recycling submissions has shown a clear growth trend after the new machine is released.
For iPhone recycling, users are concerned about three aspects: recycling price, privacy data protection, and handling methods after recycling.
Which old iPhone recycling platform is better? Which channel is more suitable for you? Grasping the above fundamentals, even if the iPhone recycling platform is tens of millions, there are also diamonds that can win a safe and good price.
Who is more reliable in horizontal evaluation?
For consumers, the greatest value of an old iPhone is that it can be sold at a good price.
Take a 128G iPhone 7 that has been used for 3 years as an example. Except for the replacement of the battery, all other parts can be used normally. On Apple’s official, Suning trade-in, and transfer three mobile phone recycling platforms, who can give a replacement? The price of incense?
than recycling price
From the perspective of recycling or estimated price, Apple’s official website, Suning and Zhuanzhuan gave estimates of 650 yuan, 505 yuan and 950 yuan respectively, and the maximum price difference is 445 yuan.
Although the estimated price given by Zhuan Zhuan is the highest, 950 yuan is the estimated price of the machine plus the platform subsidy.
Compared to the other two platforms, only four standards are available for the conversion of the estimated price, including version, capacity, warranty period, and estimated condition. The standard setting is relatively rough.
The official websites of Apple and Suning are more detailed on the standards.

Take Apple’s official website as an example. After selecting the new phone you want to buy, the option “Do you have a smart phone to be discounted” will appear. Enter the old phone according to the prompts, and click on “Is the iPhone in good condition” In the first column, the page shows instructions that it can be turned on and function normally, all buttons can be used normally, the camera can be used normally, the body is free of dents and scratches, and the touch screen and back glass panel are not damaged.
If these conditions are fully met, it can be judged to be in good condition. This detailed description gives the trade-in user a clear direction.
More convenient than recycling
If there is an old machine that needs to be recycled, these three platforms basically support the recycling method of pick-up and mailing, which does not reflect a large gap.
Currently, in all areas of Shanghai, these three platforms support SF Express to pick up the goods, and the postage is borne by the platform.
However, when it comes to booking a pick-up time, transfer is even better.
On the “Transfer” mini program, sellers can make an appointment to a specific shipping period.

Suning’s appointment time can only be accurate to the date, not up to the time slot level.

Although Apple can make an appointment to a specific time period of a certain day like Transfer, you must make an appointment by email. In the era of mobile Internet, sending emails is already a bit out. If you can operate on your mobile phone, the experience will be even better. it is good.
So, in terms of recycling convenience, Zhuanzhuan’s experience is significantly stronger than the other two platforms.
faster than payment collection
The phone was taken away, when will my money be available? In terms of the speed of collection, the commitments given by each company are also different.
In order to make up for the inferiority in the estimated price, Suning played the “fast cashback” card. Taking the mail recovery method as an example, Suning promised to quickly return the payment within one working day after receiving the goods. If you want to pay back more quickly, Suning also provides a fast track to the Epay balance within 2 hours after the collection is completed; while Zhuanzhuan and Apple’s official website will pay back within 5 working days.
Of course, there is a faster way. If you make an appointment to go to an Apple retail store to exchange the old for the new, you can get the new machine voucher on the same day.
It should be pointed out that compared with other recycling platforms, the Apple Trade in program can exchange for fewer old iPhone models, such as iPhone 5 and other models before the first generation iPhone SE and the latest second generation. iPhone SE cannot participate in the trade-in program.
When the iPhone 12 came out, it was not the iPhone 11 users who hurt the most, but the batch of users who had just switched to the new iPhone SE in the first half of the year. Why can’t the new iPhone SE be exchanged for the iPhone 12?
Please do this before recycling
Although there are not many models that can be exchanged and the bids are not high, Apple’s official Apple Trade in exchange program is still the best platform for recycling old iPhones.
First of all, many third-party platforms will attract sellers at high prices. After testing, they will lower prices on a large scale. There have been many such cases on platforms such as black cat complaints.

Furthermore, Apple has always attached importance to the protection of user privacy, and users do not have to worry about personal data leakage.
Finally, in terms of environmental protection, Apple is undoubtedly doing an excellent job. After all, the reduced packaging of the iPhone 12 is actually contributing to environmental protection.
In particular, remember that before handing the phone to the recycling personnel, please back up the phone data. In addition, you must also check the “Find myOnly by disabling the iPhone’s security settings can the phone be completely restored to its factory state to avoid problems such as data leakage in the future.
The chaos of mobile phone recycling still exists, and the second-hand commodity trading market needs to be further regulated.
For sellers, when conducting second-hand transactions, they must not be eager for success. They must shop around and choose services and after-sales trustworthy platforms. This is the greatest guarantee for their rights.
For recycling platforms, it is hoped that various platforms can introduce more benefits to consumers, and truly make consumers more worry-free when trading second-hand mobile phones.
