What to Do with Old iPhone When a New One Comes Out

What do you do with your old iPhone when a new one comes out? Is there some trade-in thing or something? Do I just pay full price for the new iPhone? Does AT&T have a trade-in policy or something?

No trade-in. I just sell mine [on ebay] a few weeks before the newer version comes out, or right after. they go for quite a bit if they are in nice condition.

  • Does Apple discount existing MacBooks when the new ones come out?

    I haven't bought a Mac in over 10 years and I don't how Apple does business. I want a new MacBook Pro, but I'm not in a super-rush. I can wait another three months, if necessary.
    The current MacBook Pro (top of the line) is more than sufficient for me, it's just a little expensive. I certainly don't need whatever's coming next, but the current 17" is mighty attractive.
    When Apple releases the new MacBook Pro's ... (1st quarter 2010, right?) ... do the existing high-end 2009 models usually sell at a big discount to get rid of the current inventory? You know ... (like car guys say) ... blowing out last years models to make room for the 2010's?
    Is that the cheapest time to buy the previous model? When Apple releases the newest ones?

    There is no "blow-out sale" when the new models come out, at least through Apple. Apple generally keeps a very tight inventory (only a few days worth evidently) on hand, so when new models are about to be released, they are pretty low on inventory of the existing model. In fact, when new models are up for sale through Apple, the older ones disappear from their website/stores.
    Some 3rd party resellers may have discounts on older models, but they too are usually not of the "huge sale" type. A 10% discount is usually pretty generous.
    Other options are to buy a refurbished machine through Apple's website (cheapest option), or if you're a student, faculty, or staff member of an academic institution, take advantage of the student discount (also around 10%)

  • What to do with current iPhone when preordering new iPhone?

    I currently have the iPhone 5 using Verizon, I looking forward to preordering the iPhone 5S as soon as it's available for preorder but what are the necessary steps for this? Idk if you guys know what I mean but basically I'm asking what to do. Do I sell my current iPhone, the preorder the 5S and just wait without a phone until I receive it? Or do I keep my current iPhone while preodering then when it comes in, sell my current iPhone, then activate the 5S?

    Don't sell your current iPhone just yet ...

    Keep in mind, only Apple knows when the iPhone 5S will be available. Definitely hang on to your existing iPhone.

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

    Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

  • I was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back????

    i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

    Make a backup of the current phone, and restore the new phone from the backup.  When you do that, your new phone should be a mirror image of your old phone.

  • HT201317 how do i put photos on icloud from an old iphone to a new one?

    how can i get pictures off the i cloud from an old iphone onto a new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What do you mean 'on iCloud' are they in photostream or part of a backup.

  • Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.
