Price Comparison Site, SellCell.com, Releases Data Detailing how 33% of Americans trade-in their iPhone with Apple or their Carrier


Trading in your Old iPhone with Apple & the Carriers Could Cost you Hundreds of Dollars!

33% of Americans will automatically trade their iPhone in with their Carrier or Apple. This will not give them the most money for their old phone to put towards an upgrade!

The US’s largest cell phone trade-in price comparison site, SellCell.com, has released a new cost comparison survey that details where users can get the most money for their old iPhone before they upgrade to an iPhone 12.

The SellCell analysis looked at the trade in prices for iPhones across Apple, Carriers, BestBuy, EcoATM and SellCell to determine where the user can get the most money for their old iPhone. As part of the research SellCell also surveyed 2,000 US iPhone users to see where they currently trade in their old iPhones when they upgrade and if this is really offering them the best deal when selling their old phone.

————————–

The iPhone 12 will Prompt a Surge in Upgrades

Research at SellCell.com suggests that more people than ever are looking to trade-in their old iPhone, with four-in-ten iPhone users and three-in-ten Android users also considering making the leap. But iPhone owners need to ensure that they are getting the best deal for their old iPhone and this can mean shopping around to find the best trade in price, rather than trading in with Apple or their carrier by default.

—————————–

Where do Americans Currently Trade in Their Old Phone?

SellCell.com surveyed 2,000 US iPhone owners to see what they would do with their old device when they upgrade.

After you upgrade, what would you do with your old phone?

Sell it on eBay – 21.9%

Trade it in with Apple – 17.9%

Trade it in with Carrier – 15%

Give it to a friend or family – 13%

Keep it as a backup device – 11%

Sell it online on a ‘Sell Phone’ website – 9%

Trade it in-store (retail store) – 6.1%

Sell it using trade in ATM machine – 4%

Give it to charity – 2.1%


  • 33% of respondents will sell their device to either Apple or their Carrier. (18% sell their iPhone to Apple and 15% to their carrier.)
  • The data also suggests that 11% of users will be keeping their existing iPhone as a back-up device. This means a user is potentially sitting on hundreds of dollars that they could put towards upgrading.

————————————

iPhone Trade In Price Comparison

33% of people think that it is the best option to trade-in an old iPhone with Apple or a carrier. SellCell’s cost comparison however shows that trading in an old phone with Apple or a carrier may not offer the most amount of cash to put towards an iPhone 12.

*Prices based on top price available for a ‘Used’ device in ‘Good’ condition

**Prices compared 14th October 2020

Trading an iPhone via SellCell offers more money than Apple or any or the carriers. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is a good example. Apple is offering $500 for its most expensive existing handset. SellCell, on the other hand, offer $765 for an iPhone 11 Pro Max. That is $115 more than the best offer a user can get from a carrier and $265 more than Apple.

Comparing The Market Will Offer the Most Cash

Automatically trading an iPhone in with Apple or a carrier, means that users could lose out on a substantial amount of money. It is wise to compare the value of a phone with different buyback vendors. Using a comparison site like SellCell that compares over 35 buyback companies is a good starting point to make sure that the user sees a range of deals from BuyBack companies.

MicroReplay Discovers People Incorrectly Disinfect Their High-Touch Devices


The COVID-19 global pandemic is heightening everyone’s awareness of keeping surfaces clean and disinfected: Kitchen counters, coffee tables, and, of course, electronic devices. After all, a device like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop will accumulate bacteria that could cause the coronavirus. Unless someone is wiping the device down properly, the virus could spread through a house or office.

MicroReplay, a specialized computer repair company with expertise in fixing liquid damaged MacBooks and providing service parts to schools and other computer repair companies, wanted to know how their customers are taking precautions to stop the spread of COVID. The staff was curious to know if anyone who owns expensive “high-touch” devices are keeping them disinfected.

The company found that in a commissioned survey with over 300 device owners in the US, nearly everyone is taking the right precautions to clean their devices. Over three-fourths of respondents use the recommended isopropyl alcohol and are not spraying it directly onto the device. However, several answerers said they are using products that will damage their devices or cleaners not known to kill the virus that causes COVID. Other survey takers said they are not following the manufacturer’s instructions and are keeping their devices too wet. Both situations can lead to liquid damage, which affects internal components.

“The results of our survey were surprising,” said Joseph Kouyoumjian, President of MicroReplay. “While many people said they are cleaning their devices in a way that prevents the spread of COVID, several respondents did not know what these products do to their new tablet or smartphone is eye-opening. This points to a need to further educate device owners on how to go about cleaning their devices. After all, no one wants to clean their laptop, accidentally break it and have to pay for repairs.”

Aside from doing research-based cleaning, the company is busy repairing Chromebooks and supplying service parts for other computers and tablets for schools going remote.

____________________

About Us: MicroReplay is a specialized computer repair company that has more than two decades of repair experience. Founded in 2006, the company repairs hundreds of liquid-damaged computers for other computer repair companies, in-house service organizations, extended warranty companies, and individuals. In addition to those repairs, MicroReplay helps thousands of school districts with support and repairs of Apple, Lenovo, Dell, and HP products.

Naviga Partners with Sophi.io to Automate the Print Production Workflow


Naviga Partners with Sophi.io

Naviga Publisher and Sophi.io have enabled our news organization to develop the same level of quality newspaper with fewer resources. This enables us to re-allocate those resources to driving better content and increased subscriptions.

Naviga, the largest provider of software technologies for the global publishing industry, today announces the launch of Naviga Publisher, powered by Sophi.io, an artificial intelligence system by The Globe and Mail, a new product that automates the print production workflow for publishers. This next-generation smart AI/ML technology empowers newsrooms to devote their time, energy and resources to reporting on news rather than the delivery of content to multiple channels.

As the increase in the demand for digital news is accelerated by the global pandemic, with some Naviga customers seeing an over 200% increase in new users, Naviga Publisher, powered by Sophi.io, and part of Naviga’s Content Engagement Platform (CEP), enables news organizations to become truly ‘Content First’ by re-allocating resources traditionally meant for print to producing quality journalism instead.

The automation technology is currently being used by Agderposten, a Norwegian daily newspaper. “Naviga Publisher and Sophi.io have enabled our news organization to develop the same level of quality newspaper with fewer resources. This enables us to re-allocate those resources to driving better content and increased subscriptions,” said Agderposten Editor-in-Chief Øyvind Klausen.

Part of Naviga’s new Smart Layouts solution set, Naviga Publisher, powered by Sophi.io, enables publishers to deliver a consistent, brand-driven look and feel of their paper, regardless of article length, other assets and other influencing factors such as ads, placement, or layout. The automation technology is configured to model the decisions that print editors make today, enabling publishers to deliver great content without compromising on layout quality or having to use templates.

“According to a July 2020 survey of Naviga customers, 22% of the total effort to deliver a newspaper comprises page layout and copy fitting,” said Pat Stewart, VP of Development at Naviga. “By leveraging AI/ML technology to power print and e-reader manufacturing workflows, publishers can drive higher efficiencies, save on manufacturing costs and allocate more resources to content creation.”

Greg Doufas, Chief Technology Officer at The Globe and Mail, said “As a publisher ourselves, we know how much time and resources go into laying down a paper, especially given how quickly news evolves. When we saw how flawlessly Sophi.io automated our digital content curation, we knew we had to bring that same AI-based automation to the print laydown process and get this technology to others. Looking at Agderposten’s success, it’s clear that our partnership with Naviga is enabling us to help other forward thinking publishers.”

Naviga’s Smart Layouts solution set also includes Naviga Templates. Naviga Templates automates copy fitting of articles, while Naviga Publisher, powered by Sophi.io, fully automates the time-intensive process of page creation and assembly for the entire publication.

“While many publishers deploy a ‘digital first’ mindset, there are often disparate processes for creating and delivering content across channels,” said Karin Söderlund, President and General Manager of Content Products at Naviga. “With the addition of Sophi.io powering Naviga Publisher, we offer a smart, channel-agnostic content management system that integrates across a newsroom, enabling publishers to focus on quality journalism and new revenue opportunities.”

WRG Announces Exciting Enhancements to Tellergy™ Teller Line Technology


From custom, interactive forms to contactless card authentication, this release offers credit union staff increased opportunities for meaningful engagement with their members in the branch environment

Wescom Resources Group (WRG) announced the latest software release for its industry-leading Tellergy™ for Verifone® teller line software platform. The release, Tellergy 2.3, includes a number of breakthrough features designed to enhance the credit union member experience.

The latest release also enables contactless functionality which allows members to simply tap their contactless-enabled debit or credit card at the terminal for instantaneous authentication instead of swiping or inserting their card into the device. This mimics the functionality members are used to experiencing at stores across the country.

Tellergy 2.3 also offers members the ability to change their PIN in real time, right at the teller line.

The latest release builds on Tellergy’s existing features like account identification and lookup, card swipe member authentication, account balance display and transaction confirmation, utilizing the built-in functionality of Verifone’s market-leading retail multimedia terminals to provide members with a colorful, interactive and fully secure teller line banking experience.

“The Verifone MX 925 terminal has a high-definition color display with full audio/video capabilities, allowing the credit union to customize their welcome screen,” says Jessica Bates, sales account executive with Verifone. “The terminal is also equipped for EMV certification and data encryption, ensuring the security of members’ PIN information and profile acceptance.

“Verifone values our strong relationship with Wescom Resources Group,” Bates adds. “They are the only software solution provider for credit unions fully certified on the MX 925. WRG is our go-to software provider for credit unions seeking this type of solution, and their software is the best in the market.”
