> Do better, Apple - if you say you're leading the way in helping the environment, especially when it comes to the disposal of old devices, an excessive drop in value when trading these in is not going to be a success.

author has belief he owed more $ than what apple offers on 15 month old machine.

they likely have specific margin per sale. after doing trade and factoring in costs.. not worth offering more when newer apple chips available that customer want.

and weird belief apple should support environment by giving more money for old machine. seriously?

if you care about environment you should hang onto your old machine yourself and control you consumerism appetite.

english not me first language but this article so poor, makes reader think..can anyone work at tech radar? they pay these author per article? lack of logical thinking.. author admits no plan to actually trade in machine so clear to me they just amplifying this non story for controversy and clicks.
