Make up my mind, going to trade in my 6 for 7. I also traded-in my apple watch which i don't use it now.

Just found out that if opted for trade-in via Switch, you have to use the credit on the spot. iPad Mini A17 Pro still TBC yet. I've contacted Switch CS(WhatsApp's), they told me to inform the Outlet that I want to exchange it with Apple Gift Card, it will have 12 months validity.

can do multiple product trade in? i heard switch/machine provide low trade in value vs apple official

You can google their trade-in price, you save the trouble of selling to another buyer.
I Traded in my Mini 6th together with my Apple Watch series 6 which i rarely use it.... (I got it for free anyway).

Neither Apple nor Switch/Machines will take your Apple Pencil, and switching to 7 meaning your existing Apple Pencil 2nd Generation  will no longer work (Hover does work but not charge or magnet)
*
so u trade in first & then they give u apple gift card so u can buy other apple products? the gift card can use on store or only use online?

Ok Just an update also to share my experience with Switch outlet., I trade-in my iPad Mini 6th and Apple Watch Series 6 at first outlet on Sunday, their SOP is to inspect and take photo as evidence before evaluation, they took some picture and noted down that it's on perfect condition, quoted me Rm1410. I left the shop only to get a reply that there's an alternative to exchange Switch Gift card, so today i went there and they told me their outlet doesn't have a Switch Gift Card asked me to go to another Switch Outlet. On 2nd Switch outlet, 2nd Inspection noted that there's a scratch on the bottom of the Apple Watch, and also scratches on the iPad mini pencil charging area (which wasn't there during first inspection), quoted me 1017 total for both.  vmad.gif

I suspected those damages 1) iPad mini which i have ESD hybrid case put on since day 1 which got removed twice during inspection, the tempered glass also twice removed which i think that causes of the scratch. and 2) the Apple Watch, it was with the removed of Rhinoshield case which i also put on since day 1, but the 1st outlet staff not sure how to open, maybe their mishandling causes the scratches.

Credit to the staff at the 2nd outlet that slowly explain to me to that the evaluation have to be done on the time when i traded in  Even if can refer back to the previous photo from the 1st outlet, it could be due to damage during transport (which like i said it was always in the protective case and only open during inspection), they can't give me the 1st outlet price.
Moral of the story, or note for anyone going to trade-in their Apple Device. If you're not going to purchase anything at the point of time. Ask if they have Switch/Machine/Apple gift card, which is a card that can top-up any amount. Don't repeat my mistake, when they want to do evaluation please be there to see how they open, if they use fingernail to pry open. Informed them that if there scratches is on where they land their finger, it will be on them. and if they knock the device or it fall and hit the table, you also have to make sure damages were on them.
*
yes. any scratches will devalue your devices couple hundred. sometimes, not worth to trade in. best is when new product available

ranting.gif  ranting.gif  bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif ,  It's never worth to trade in. But well I did it. So you guys can avoid, just find a buyer and use that as last Resort. I think seller don't mind those tiny scratches, not on the screen some more. So now just wait for them to contact me when iPad Mini A17 Pro available. No iPad to use in the mean time.

so they gave u apple gift card? TRX or switch/machines?

Yup Apple Gift Card, Switch. and a receipt indicate top-up amount, E.g. Rm1000 x 1, Rm500 x1 , Rm100 x 1 = Total Rm1600 (JUST EXAMPLE).
I still browsing the case, is there any case that only have the case without the Flip ? the flip case can be annoyed if you're going to hold it for a long period of time when lying on the bed.

only can use at switch or also can use on apple online?

According to YT reviews, yes the cases fit and I guess SP as well since everything is the same actually.

Saw that it’s already on sales in Malaysia but I’m currently traveling in overseas, will do that when I go back next week.
*
yes it is the same display as mini 6. they reuse back and change inside part only. so 11-11 can buy all the accessories.
no hurry as deliver date is 12. so rush also pointless. if i'm not mistaken, now they are producing large quantity and ship together as large container to MY on 12 Nov. So most likely all shop will have stock ready

Why you guys need ipad mini while the ipad air is just a few hundreds bucks higher?
*
i'm changing from ipad air to mini. been using air for 4 years. too big & heavy when i carry macbook pro.
i want to reduce weight when travelling.
besides, mainly use ipad for browsing & entertainment. tried to use as work but still lacking compare to macbook (ms Office function not same, small screen, etc)

Decided to order and trade-in directly with Apple. Can someone explain this to me, please? The part below is telling me to choose drop off or schedule courier pickup, but there are no selections for me to click/tap. The  only clickable link (in blue) just leads to the usual instructions page for preparing device (backup, remove from FindMy, reset, blah blah) beforehand, but that’s all. Will the options only appear after my new device is delivered, or am I missing something obvious?

if i not mistaken, only after device delivered. that why last day is 28 Nov. [14 days to send]

Buy a new device and add a trade-in.
After you complete our purchase, we'll send you an email with instructions on how to complete your trade-in, including how to drop it off or schedule a courier pickup. You'll have 14 days after you receive your new device to send in your trade-in.

When we receive your old device, we'll inspect it and verify its condition. If everything checks out, your trade-in is complete. We'll refund the trade-in value amount to your original payment method.

Keep in mind: If your device doesn't match the condition you described, you'll receive a revised trade-in value. We'll reach out and ask you to accept the new value before we proceed. And if the value of your trade-in was more than the cost of your new device we'll issue the remaining amount on an Apple Store Gift Card by email.
