The "Apple Trade In" program is now prominently displayed on the Apple China website, which supports a wide range of Android phones to deduct certain fees, helping users to dispose of their old phones and lowering the threshold for getting an iPhone.
The iPhone XR, iPhone 11 series, and the new iPhone SE that are on sale today all support this approach. However, the specific value of the credit has also raised concerns and controversy.
For example, the Huawei P20 Pro can be deducted up to $800, while the P30 Pro, even with the 512GB top-of-the-line, can be deducted up to 200 yuan by Apple, and even less than the 128GB Xiaomi 6 (450 yuan).
There is an analysis that the calculation of the value of the apple credit should be judged from the point of view of its own recyclable components, so some models are underpriced.
Of course, this apparently low price also means that P30 Pro users will hardly ever trade in their old products for new ones in the way that Apple does.
The best deals are on Apple phones, with the iPhone 6 at 400 yuan and the iPhone XS Max at 3,750 yuan.
