Apple extends the expiration date of its 'limited time' iPhone XR and XS trade-in deals again
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
iPhone XS vs iPhone X
Although Apple's Japanese e-store continues to list February 28 as the cutoff date of the trade-in arrangement, we're expecting that to change any minute now. Granted, the company's mobile devices are performing particularly poorly in the world's largest smartphone market, but it seems unlikely that China will be given preferential treatment after Apple already cut some prices to try to better compete against local heroes.
Bottom line, there's a very good chance these "limited time" promotions will be offered for at least four months in total across global territories. Then again, the program's terms and conditions lack a specific expiration date in many countries, including the US, so don't act shocked if Apple decides to halt all trade-in deals with little to no notice.
Keep in mind that you can save even more on a new iPhone XS, XS Max, or iPhone XR than the $300 widely advertised as the trade-in value of an iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone X, for instance, is worth a whopping $500 towards the purchase of a 2018 variant, while a qualifying iPhone 8 Plus trade-in can net you a cool $370 discount.
