Sorry Wrong Numbers™: The Way Apple Pricing & Trade-In Offers Work.... - IMRAN™

In full disclosure, I am a MacUser since 1984, and (mostly) love (most of) my Apple products. My day job is with Microsoft. But this tongue in cheek comment in the meme is based on reality. Apple did a good thing when it started offering trade-in offers to switch to newer model iPhones or even Apple Watch devices.

Then some beancounter just couldn't help it. They decided to find a way to screw loyal customers who had paid massive full prices for top of the line models with basically peanuts values on trade-in.

That is what made me comment that when Apple's next super-duper-I-don't-even-try-price-it maxed out Mac Pro comes out it may add up to $60,000 but a week later the beancounters there would maybe offer $60 in trade-in value for those. One hopes they learnt some embarrassing lessons from that whole recent episode and it does not happen this way.

After recent events, the Mac Pro is is stuck at Mac OS 10.10.5 Yosemite. I may be able to get Windows 7 on there, and probably update it to Windows 10. I do not believe the future Windows 11 will work, but who knows. I currently have Windows 10 running on a 2018 Mac Mini. It runs better on the Mac mini than it does on that HP thing at work. No surprise there.

 

Of course I cannot find my Windows 7 Pro serial number.
