From today you will no longer have to have intermediaries in the claim of your iPhone, you can you value and manage directly in the Apple Store.
Until today, recycling was carried out by apple website and a Dataserv broker. It is now possible to value and obtain the amount of your iPhone directly in stores, being witness to the assessment process thereof.
The process allows you to deliver one or two devices (two iPhones, an iPhone and an iPad) for the payment of your new iPhone or iPad device indistinctly. You just have to go to the Apple store closest to your home and request recycling, there a specialist will make a brief inspection of your terminal that will be completed with the delivery of the same in exchange for a card with the agreed amount, to be used only in buying a latest iPhone or iPad model.
Like the process previously followed by Dataserv, the issues that are important when evaluating the terminal are;
- That the terminal is turn on. If you don't, they won't give you anything.
- Damage to the screen that exceed the understandable limit of use (estimated by an internal Apple scale based on the number and depth of scratches and nicks)
- Signs of having been in contact with liquids.
- Port locked by iTunes, iCloud or IMEI, for which you will have to first go through the Genius Bar to see if it is possible to repair it with a Hard Reset or simply turn it on and that it can be assessed.
- Hints of manipulation, in this case they do not allow entry to the program. The jailbreak is not a problem, you just have to go back to the original system.
Important: Does not reduce the price wear that is considered by use of the terminal. If at any time you do not agree with a point of the assessment, you can request the second opinion from another specialist or from a Genius, but you have to be sure of what you request, the process is governed by a fairly clear and strict checklist so that we all enjoy the same advantages.
It is important that you have ato backup of the contents of your iPhone in iTunes or iCloud to be able to carry out the process in one go.
Once the terminal has been valued, you are informed of the amount, and that is where the culmination moment arrives, this is a non-negotiable amount by both parties Since if you accept, you hand over the terminal and receive the amount on a card or you proceed to the purchase of the replacement directly, but there is no going back.
Using this recycling program does not prevent you from enjoying other discounts that may apply, such as the student or the match price.

I just got back from the Apple Store and standard prices They are the following;
- 71 euros for iPhone 4,
- 145 euros for iPhone 4s and
- 230 euros for iPhone 5
Interesting Carmen. I would like to know how much they would value my iPhone 5, discontinued today, even and go on sale with a serial problem in the camera ...
I find that with what had been Apple, they could have already offered us a renewal program when they took it off the market. With a reasonable price, and thus have happy customers who are already part of Apple products. Still and come out with Hardware glitches. That is why I say, I would like to know how much they are capable of offering for this terminal, they will surely laugh in our faces again. Greetings!
Well, I don't know, but it will surely be for less than the sale to another individual. In any case, if you are evaluating the iPhone 5 and do not ask anything about the camera (since its future being a refurbished, it changes in a moment), I would encourage you to stop by one, if you have the opportunity, and check it for yourself. Already on the web through Dataserv they value it at 260 euros ... in case it serves as a reference ..
I advise you to sell it to anyone ... they will value it much less than if you sold it on your own ...
they will not lose money, be sure
Well, I have gone to see how much they offered me for the iphone 4s, and because of what they have offered me I prefer to give it fire.
Several things. First of all, to the previous message, my recommendation is not to sell it through Apple because as you said, it is better to set it on fire for what they are going to give. They gave me for the 4s in October (as soon as the 5s left) 250 euros in cash in CEX that even has a physical store (after a test to see its status).
On the other hand, my eyes bleed watching how someone who calls himself a journalist writes mistakes and spelling mistakes in each article. Putting "varemo" instead of "scale" is amazing.
What are you waiting for ... the quality of the articles on this website is decreasing, it is not what it used to be. And this is since the new "editors" came in. Too bad, I've been reading everything on iClarified for a long time.
Also phrases like "... and that is where the time comes, they meet, ..."
I had not noticed because I read it above, but yes. And that one has not yet corrected. Another scandalous failure. Not knowing how to differentiate «there» from «there» or from «ay» ...
How exaggerated you are! You judge people very harshly for a simple fault. What matters here is that someone, without charging, is giving you information. You do not know how to value that. No thanks
€ 118 for a flawless and immaculate 4GB iphone 32, with the battery just changed after 4 years and that the mobile continues to give war… what have these Apple smoked?
Wave. I wonder if it is available to everyone. I am from El Salvador and I have an iPhone 4s 32 gigs in perfect condition and I would like to have the 5s.
