In life there are various force majeure circumstances, which often end disastrously for mobile technology. New iPhone 6 plus sometimes “dies” for various reasons.
Most often, smartphones fail due to being drowned. Water getting into the charging channels and the headphone socket, slots for speakers and microphone, which are not protected from moisture, then enters the case, causing a short circuit.
Usually, contacts burn out, and less often, the matrix peels off and pixels “burn out.” Sometimes water gets into the SIM card compartment. The contacts of the SIM card are covered with a layer of oxidation, which damages the phone.
The most fatal “wet” failure from the point of view of data preservation is water getting into the battery compartment and/or instead of fastening the flash memory. The first leads to a short circuit, the second is the loss of everything that was not backed up through data exchange with iCloud.
The second most common cause of failure of these devices is breakdowns associated with excessive external force on the case (phone drops, impacts, etc.).
Damage is caused in a variety of ways: from chips of the screen, which bring with them a guarantee of the appearance of a “cobweb” on it, to unintended bends of the case, making comfortable use of the device impossible.
These, like many other similar cases, make owners sad if they happen. It’s especially offensive to those who bought a new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, since the price tag for “top” Apple equipment in official stores is approximately 60 thousand Russian rubles.
iPhone owners have few obvious options: contacting the official center is expensive, because the guarantees do not cover damage to equipment caused by the owner; non-officials - dangerous, because It will be difficult to demand anything from them in court if your iPhone is scattered into parts all over the world.
Not many people know that in this situation you can solve your problem by going to special points and exchanging your iPhone 8 Plus - iPhone X for a new one (there are several such points in Moscow).
An exchange is the best way out of a situation with a broken gadget if the warranty expires or is terminated due to damage incurred.
Pros of exchange
This move has many advantages, here are some of them:
- The exchange involves receiving a smartphone whose characteristics are similar to those of the broken one (if you bring your iPhone 8 Plus with 256 GB of memory for exchange, then you will not be given, for example, an iPhone 6S or any other except the same iPhone 8 Plus, only in working order) ;
- An exchange with a surcharge will cost the user less than buying a new phone (for example, an iPhone 8 Plus, which costs about 60 thousand in the official store, will cost about half its cost when visiting an “exchanger”). This is especially felt by users of the iPhone 8 Plus with a large amount of memory “on board” (128/256 GB);
- An exchange made at the service center will give you the right to receive warranty repairs within three months from the date of receipt of the phone;
- Exchange is safer than the services of unauthorized workshops that repair equipment illegally;
- An exchange with a surcharge as a result for the consumer is receiving a completely new phone to replace the old one.
Exchange rules
If you decide to exchange your phone. The first and most important rule is that the phone must be unlinked from icloud. Refurbished devices are also allowed (replacement of screen, cables, etc.). When checking at an exchange point, traces of unauthorized soldering, replacement, etc. may be found on the motherboard and other parts of the device, which will increase the cost of exchanging this device.
They will also check the serial numbers on your phone. motherboard and the device itself - they must match and be easy to read for the exchange to be successful.
However, it is possible to change the glass and display.
Some items do not allow exchange if the damage to your phone is critical and the latter cannot be repaired.
Many of these clauses require users to unlink their device from the iCloud service. There is no need to worry, this is just a measure to suppress attempts to exchange stolen equipment for “clean” ones.
If the exchange offices turn you away, then there are two options left, mentioned at the very beginning of the article.
We again warn you against the temptation to visit non-specialized establishments that provide repair services. Apple technology. The low price often does not hide the professionalism of the employees, savings on spare parts, or involvement in the market for stolen equipment. In general, the risk is unjustified.

Why do you need trade-in at all?
Trade-in itself is a very convenient service. It implies an additional payment for a new product, taking into account the return of the old one. Apple in Russia has periodically held such events in the past in the form of promotions: in 2014, this promotion was launched by Eldorado, later by Euroset and DNS and others. This allows you to “bind” the client to you in order to solve problems with updating the model range.
What is the essence of this new trade-in?
There are no exact trade-in conditions on partner websites. Will they replace an iPhone with a broken speaker or microphone? What if I changed the battery (which almost 50% of iPhone users do)? What if I damaged the device?
You will not know the amount for which you will sell your model until you come to the store with a passport.
Svyaznoy says that the promotion is unlimited, while the re:Store website indicates the validity period until August 15. The promotion is valid throughout Russia.
How is this announced on the partner’s website?
“The promotion is valid for purchases in retail stores and when ordering in an online store, subject to pickup. You can trade in iPhone 4 and newer, and purchase iPhone 6 and newer. The returned iPhone must be purchased from an authorized Apple partner in Russia.
Can take part in the action individuals who have reached 18 years of age.
To find out the possible size of the discount, you need to contact any retail store with a passport and an iPhone. When purchasing a promotion, it is not possible to purchase an iPhone in installments, but credit is available. The promotion cannot be combined with other discounts and special offers. Bonus program valid only for accrual purposes; bonuses cannot be written off.
The quantity of goods participating in the promotion is limited. The company reserves the right to terminate the promotion early,” the website says.
How does this actually work now?
The cost of trade-in is calculated individually and only upon inspection in the store. The iPhone must work, must be purchased only from an official reseller in Russia, and must not have chips or cracks. All of Europe, America and Asia are passing by.
They accept any iPhone, starting from iPhone 4. Price range: from 500 rubles. (iPhone 4) up to 25,000 rub. (iPhone 7 Plus 256).
On site, a store employee visually inspects the device. The device is then connected to a computer, which reads data from the iPhone and communicates with Apple servers. Apple returns the discount amount in rubles or reports a refusal.
The iPhone is not disassembled. The server does everything for the employee, and the amount is calculated based on the data received by the computer. A trade-in agreement is drawn up on the spot, in which the owner agrees to all the conditions, confirms the transfer of the device and waives claims.
On an old iPhone, the Apple ID is disabled, the password is removed, Find My iPhone is disabled, and all information is erased. The owner selects the iPhone model to which he wants to exchange it.
For this model, immediately after signing the contract (on the spot, you can’t leave to think, you can’t get a gift card or a discount certificate) a discount is given equal to the amount that the server displayed to the employee.
What could be the benefit of this trade-in?
This offer is definitely not for those who would like to save money on purchasing equipment. They will be of interest to buyers who are afraid to sit on flea markets and bulletin boards, so as not to run into money or scams. Speed is also important here: in 30 minutes you sell your old iPhone and get a new one at an additional cost.
What are the most embarrassing moments, especially in Russia?
Prices for old devices are very much lower than the used equipment market. Having a quick look at Avito and other trade-in services, you understand that the price for an old device is unprofitable.
For example, calculation for old iPhones it turns out like this:
- Apple prices an iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition at 25,000 rubles (on the spot)
- DamProdam buys iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 37,000 rubles (pay immediately)
- On Avito they offer an iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB in perfect condition for 40,000 rubles (the sale process will take time)
An iPhone purchased under the trade-in program from Apple partners does not have an installment system (when upon purchase new iPhone you take installments for 6-12 months and make payments without interest). You don't get real money for an old device, only the estimated value, which can be applied towards the purchase of a new iPhone. There is no talk of any online service.
Why was the trade-in announced right now?
Exit 8 is approaching iPhone models. Apple is trying to sell as much as possible number of iPhones 7, as well as “warm up” the audience before the release of the 8th iPhone.
Oddly enough, in the 10 years since the release of the first iPhone, no “cultural” trade-in has appeared in Russia. Almost always, the only option to sell your old iPhone is through message boards and friends. Well, there is always the option of giving it to someone close to you (anything is better than recycling).
How does trade-in happen in the USA at the Apple Store?
In the US, the iPhone “buyback” program and its subsequent replacement with a new model operates in all Apple brand stores.
Apple itself does not process used devices handed over as part of trade-in: they seem to be farmed out to Brightstar (which deals with distribution, repurchase and trade). There are no official data, but that’s what they say behind the scenes.
The prices at which they buy phones are low. For an iPhone 6 with 64 GB in excellent condition, in terms of rubles they give a maximum of 9000. What?!
For “below average” condition, Apple is only willing to offer “free disposal.” The condition itself can only be diagnosed in the store.
What other options are there for trade-in of Apple equipment in the States?
Also popular in the USA third party services trade-in, which are ready to offer more favorable conditions. The biggest players are Gazelle and Glyde.
In this segment, they also work on the sell or trade-in principle: the owner indicates the device parameters, condition and equipment, then the service shows the cost online. It's like CarPrice, only about phones. And the price is not from start to finish, but clearly defined.
