I recently found myself in a bit of a dilemma with my iPhones. I own both an iPhone 13 mini and an iPhone 15 Pro. Unfortunately, after an incident where the 15 Pro was exposed to water, it stopped working. Meanwhile, the 13 mini had been sitting unused in a drawer until I needed a phone.
With AppleCare+ and all the additional coverage, I’m unsure of my next steps. One option I’m considering is obtaining a trade-in credit for my 15 Pro through Apple. I’m curious whether I can do this while also canceling the remaining coverage of my AppleCare+. Additionally, I’m uncertain if I need to repair the 15 Pro before trading it in.
If I am indeed required to fix the 15 Pro for the trade-in, I wonder if there might be better trade-in options outside of Apple. It’s worth exploring. On a positive note, I’ve enjoyed using my iPhone 13 mini. The smaller form factor is a definite plus for me, even if I sometimes wish it had the superior camera optics of the newer models.
I don’t particularly miss the 120Hz display feature, as comfort and portability are my main priorities. Overall, I’m weighing my options carefully regarding the trade-in and what to do with my AppleCare+. If I can trade in the broken 15 Pro without repairs or find a better alternative, that would make the transition much simpler.
