Google Badly Wants iPhone Users To Switch To The New Pixel Fold as it Offers Staggering Trade-In Values

wccftech.com:

Google recently announced its highly-anticipated Pixel Fold smartphone which directly competes against Samsung's Galaxy Fold lineup. While the device makes hefty promises in terms of design and functionality, it remains to be seen how it stacks up against Samsung and Oppo's new flagship foldable. The new Pixel Fold is available at a massive $1,799 price tag which makes it one of the most expensive smartphones right now. Moreover, the higher storage variant costs upward of $1,900. To increase its sale and make the new Pixel Fold relevant, Google is overpaying for iPhone trade-in values as it wants users to make a switch.

The Google Pixel phone will be available to all users starting next month and ahead of the availability, the search engine giant has enough time to lure iPhone users. According to the latest findings, Google is offering a massive value to iPhone users who are looking to get their hands on the new Pixel Fold. Typically, Apple offers decent trade-in values for iPhones when users wish to upgrade to the latest models. Google, on the other hand, is overpaying iPhone users so they can easily switch to the new foldable Pixel with a vanilla Android experience.

Apart from Apple, even third-party services do not offer such trade-in values as Google. For comparison, we will share the numbers in contrast to what Apple offers for some iPhone models. For the base iPhone 14 Pro model with 128GB of storage space, Google is offering a staggering $900 in trade-in value. The amount is only $100 short of getting a new iPhone 14 Pro. As for older models, Google is offering $850 for the iPhone 13 Pro which is $320 more than what Apple is offering.

Google is also offering a trade-in for its Pixel 7 Pro which is a lot less than it
