happy ending

$33.66.

That’s what it costs me today to upgrade from my  iPhone 4S to my new 5S. 

I’ll skip the agonizing details and go straight to the end.  I get an astounding $183 for trading in a new iPhone 4S.  And, I even get a new $29 two-foot extension cable for free.

My love for Apple is restored.


Next begins the search for the perfect case.  This could take a few months.  I am very particular.


Addendum and Validation of my good deal:

According to Consumer Reports, old smartphones are like used cars and can be traded in.  The magazine got the following offers when trying to trade-in an Apple 4S in good condition:

  • $180 gift card at Amazon
  • $140 at Gazelle.com
  • $205 gift card at Best Buy
