It should come as no surprise that trading in an Apple Watch Series 4 scores the biggest discount, at a maximum of £120/$150, but you can trade in your old Series 3 for a cool £100/$100 off too. The total amount depends on the condition of the kit you’re trading in, but as long as the Watch isn’t essentially destroyed, it should be accepted. At the very least, Apple is offering to recycle old products free of charge.
Of course, with the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, there aren’t many Apple Stores open at the moment. The good news is that Apple has implemented a contact-free delivery option for those that want to upgrade to the Series 5, all organised via the Apple trade-in site.
It’s worth mentioning that while this is a great way to get a discount on the Series 5, you could also use the discount to make the Series 3 even cheaper at only £79/$49 for the base 38mm model. It might seem a bit backwards to trade in a Series 4 to get a Series 3, and we largely agree, but you could trade in your scratched and scuffed Series 3 and get £100/$100 off, netting a brand new Series 3 for only £100/$100.
Hey, some of us really don’t like scratches, okay?
Apple hasn’t confirmed when the promotion is due to end, but the company claims it’s only around for a limited time so those interested should make use of the offer sooner rather than later.
You can also pick up an Apple Watch 3 for free with this iPhone SE 2020 offer.
