Apple increases trade-in credit on old iPhones for a limited time
Apple GiveBack is a service provided by the manufacturer, which pays customers credit towards a new iPhone when they trade in their existing one. For a limited time, Apple has increased the amount of credit they are giving towards certain older devices when you purchase a new iPhone.
As part of this promotion, Apple is giving customers up to $300 in store credit when they trade in an iPhone 8 or older and purchase a brand new iPhone from Apple. The iPhone 8 Plus and newer devices are not affected by this promotion, The exact amount of trade-in credit is determined by the phone you’re handing over:
| Trade-in Device | Original Credit | Total with Extra Credit* |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6 | $75 | $150 |
| iPhone 6 Plus | $100 | $200 |
| iPhone 6s | $100 | $200 |
| iPhone 6s Plus | $150 | $250 |
| iPhone 7 | $175 | $250 |
| iPhone 7 Plus | $250 | $300 |
| iPhone 8 | $275 | $300 |
With recent reports suggesting that Apple was cutting production on their iPhones due to poor demand, it is interesting to note that the ongoing promotion is only open to those who are upgrading to one of the 2018 iPhones - the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max or iPhone XR.
The promotion is reportedly set to run through the rest of this year and end on January 31st, 2019.

Sprint announces Wi-Fi calling for iPhone users
Sprint has announced that iPhone users will be able to make Wi-Fi calls using their handsets very soon. Over the next week, a software update will be rolling out to owners of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.Sprint is enabling the feature as a way to augment coverage, particularly in situations where a traditional cellular signal cannot reach, like basements or densely built areas. This affords Sprint customers to maintain connectivity with the carrier’s services.
In addition to that feature being free (Wi-Fi usage does not count against minutes or data limits), iPhone customers on Sprint will also be able to bring Wi-Fi calling with them internationally, with free calls to the United States from more than 200 countries.
This enabling of unlicensed mobile access does not have the "hand-off" to or from the mobile network. The feature will be activated for iPhone users that are up-to-date with iOS 8.3, which was released today. No word at this time as to if or when Sprint will bring the feature to other mobile platforms.
