Apple Wallet app could get new feature to manage trade-ins
Apple regularly rolls out new features for Apple Wallet, and a future upgrade could center on trade-ins. Code also suggests Apple may extend how long trade-in quotes stay valid, from 14 days to 90.
Apple's Wallet app may soon gain a new feature to handle trade-ins, according to recent code discovered in the company's Guide app. This potential addition could provide a more streamlined process for customers trading in their devices. Current Apple trade-in quotes are only valid for 14 days, but the new system could extend this validity period to 90 days.
The Guide app, primarily utilized by Apple employees, authorized resellers, and sales organizations, has been found to contain strings related to saving trade-in offers within the Wallet app. However, the exact implementation details of this feature are still unclear. The code suggests the use of a "TradeInKit" framework, which indicates server-side management of these upcoming features.
So far, Apple has not activated these switches. Notably, the company recently increased trade-in values for various iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models. Trade-ins have become increasingly significant in the Apple shopping experience, especially as prices continue to rise.
