Apple Excludes Trade-in Option for M5 Vision Pro Upgrades | AI News Digest

In a move that has sparked considerable debate, Apple has confirmed it will not offer a trade-in program for customers wishing to upgrade from the original Vision Pro to the newly launched M5 model. This decision diverges from the trade-in options available for many of the company's other products. Priced at $3,499, the M5 Vision Pro brings several upgrades but does not provide incentives for those who have yet to invest in the Vision Pro. Current users of the original model will have to explore other avenues, such as third-party sites like eBay, to sell their devices. While this absence of a trade-in option could pose challenges for loyal users looking to upgrade, it is anticipated to have a minimal effect on Apple's broader customer base.
