Google's Pixel Fold offers ridiculous trade-in deals to lure iPhone users
Delhi : Google created waves at the annual Google I/O developer conference with the much-anticipated Pixel Fold unveiling. Google is attempting to entice tech aficionados by entering the foldable smartphone market for the first time. Leaks about the phone have been circulating for quite some time prior to its release, thus everything about the Pixel Fold was more or less predictable. What iPhone consumers did not anticipate was Google providing ludicrous trade-in values for some newer iPhones, hinting that the corporation wants iPhone owners to transfer to their (potentially) first foldable smartphone.
For the iPhone 14 Pro (128GB), Google is providing a $900 credit
The Pixel Fold, which will go on sale next month for $1,799, comes with another intriguing feature to make the switch more appealing. Google is going over and above by including a free Pixel Watch with every purchase. However, as previously said, it is the trade-in values that have piqued everyone's interest, outperforming both Apple's trade-in offers and those from third-party businesses.
Google's trade-in values are difficult to ignore, particularly for iPhone users. The business is providing a $900 credit for trading in an iPhone 14 Pro with 128GB of storage, which is similar to the price of a brand-new iPhone 14 Pro. Google is providing a $850 trade-in credit for the iPhone 13 Pro, which is much greater than Apple's $530 offer.
What's more, turning in a Pixel 7 Pro for a Pixel Fold earns you a $380 credit, despite the fact that the Pixel 7 Pro itself costs $899. This action demonstrates Google's dedication to positioning the Pixel Fold as a premium tablet. Google's audacious tactic of paying more for iPhone trade-ins illustrates the company's resolve to win over iPhone enthusiasts and make the Pixel Fold a success. The Pixel Fold's features and appealing trade-in prices are expected to spark interest as the business enters the foldable smartphone market. Time will tell if this bet pays off and cements Google's position in the foldable device market, revolutionising smartphone experiences for people eager to embrace the future. Some individuals will be disappointed by the Pixel Fold's release.
