Consumer Cellular offers trade-in toward new iPhone Air purchases — credit varies by your old phone's condition and any active promo. Higher storage tiers typically receive proportionally larger credits.

The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“A19 Pro in a 165g titanium body - nothing in the iPhone lineup feels this effortless to carry.”
“$1000 for thinness while accepting the worst battery life in the lineup is a curious trade.”
