Last year, 93% of iPhones lost trade in value in the 10 days after the Apple announcement. One model dropped $129. Here's what almost nobody knows. Buyback sites will lock your quote for 14 to 30 days. So get quoted now, keep your phone and ship it after you're new on lands.

1:02They still pay today's price. Then check three numbers. Buyback sites that you're carrier and Apple. Carriers come in about 25% low. Apple pays in gift card credit, not cash. And whatever you do, make sure that you head into settings and erase all content and settings. That shuts off, find my two. Because come September 9th, old apples fall fast and catch yours before it hits the ground. There's more where this just came from. Make sure that you get my free newsletter at get Kim dot com. Apple's big event is just days away. And Kim has been all over the announcements on her show. Up next, she and her co-host Andrew discuss what's new, what's not, and what's going to cost you. Is it worth the hype? Find out next. Let me guess, you bought yourself some nice new earbuds and somehow they ended up in your kids backpack. This back to school season, get them their own pair, Raycons, everyday earbuds classic. Mine go everywhere with me.

2:02When I exercise, run errands or walk the dogs, they're the earbuds I reach for. Active noise cancellation, tunes out distractions when it's time to focus. Homework included, outside. Awareness mode let you hear everything around you, a must for students. They're comfortable enough to wear all day. They sound fantastic. And they pair with your phone and computer at the same time. Battery life is up to 32 hours and a quick 10 minute charge gives you 90 minutes of playtime. Oh, and the new colors are awesome. My pick is cool, man. Here's the kicker. Raycon delivers the same premium audio quality as the big brands at half the price. That's an A plus in my book. Go to buyraycon.com slash Kim to get 20% off. Buyraycon.com slash Kim.

And so what you want to do is don't make sure you don't buy any Apple products between

3:03on them. Are you going, is it in person? Is it virtual? I never go. I went one year years ago. The disgust on your face when you said I never go was so crystal clear. Why would it sounds cool? Why would you go? I went one year, as I mentioned, long time ago and you wait in line. And I don't know if it's still the same thing, but you go to Cupertino and you wait in line for all with all these people who if anybody in Apple said it has a new port. They went, oh, this is amazing. The router will know if grandma fell down. Oh, my God. This is cool. So wonderful. They're fanboys, boys and girls. Okay, I have to read this list of everything that they're going to be announcing. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. Oh, a new iPhone. Crazy. I know. It's really something. The first foldable iPhone. Well, now that's a new product. That's innovation. Okay. How much do you think this new foldable iPhone is going to be?

4:06Okay. The way you ask the question, I know it's going to be expensive. So I'm going to go $2800. I'm putting prices $1,999. Okay. Too grand. But you're probably close because do you want memory in there? I need some. Not a ton, but I need some. Okay. There's thing it's going to be around $2,500. Okay. Close. A new Apple Watch series 12. Sorry, did I just bought a new one? The Ultra 4. What are you wearing right now? Oh, this is a birthday watch I got. Are you done with your Apple watch? No, no, no. Okay. At least that I wear something fancy. A little stylish, okay. Exactly. Goes with my black shirt and my black pants that Chet told me to wear. The new AirPods 5. Okay. So now we have one new product and then just retreads of old products. The AirPods 5 is going to have cameras built in. Why? So that this way with my grandma falls down in front of me, I can be notified. That's awful. I know when you camera sit in my AirPods.

5:13Your left ear AirPods is going to go grainy down. Grainy down. I know where it popped. She's right in front of me. A new HomePad Pub. What is that? I have no idea. An Apple TV 4K. It's a HomePad hub. It's what a lot of people are using iPads for. And so I mean we are using an iPad for that. So you have an iPad in the kitchen and then it has your Questron, your Lutron and everything all built into it. Okay. There's just turning that into a device. Exactly. I'm going to answer the question, why do I need cameras in my AirPods? They say so do instant translations. So you won't have to pull out your phone in order to do something. It's going to read something and then translate it into my ear. Okay. Or you can look at and say, what is that? That's grandma. That's granny on the floor. You might want one. One one. Hey Siri, what did I just step over? That's why they never invited me back.

6:14That's true. You said you got the invite. I did, but not in person. They said, they gave me the virtual link. You can watch this video two hours after it happened. No regular iPhone 18, no iPhone Air 2. They say that may be coming in the spring. A new iPad, OLED and new MacBooks in the Apple Watch SC are probably going to be in the spring. Okay. So they did the vision helmet and they were working on the car, spent like $4 billion and then trashed it. Is Apple ever going to make a new product? They have the fold. Okay. So I'm saying it was out of free years. And it's just the iPhone that they've squished in half. It's an iPad. I've had many that I've squished in half. Are they ever going to come out with a new product? Are they ever going to, I mean, their AI didn't work. Every time they try for something big, old and worse. It fails. Well, that's why Tim cooks out. They get the new guy coming in too.

7:15Is the new guy going to make a new product? I would hope so. Okay. Because I'm getting really tired of buying the same iPhone every year. Exactly. But then you can't, you know, we all live through what I did. I switched over to Samsung. I spent $1,300 to switch back out. I'll never have switched later. You walked in. You were all pompous. Oh, I was going on. Oh, just mug. Yeah. Oh, you're still using that iPhone. I have a Samsung phone. Hold on. I'm a stylist to text my sister for two days from now. Then I just got out because you get in the ecosystem. I guess maybe that's why they don't have to because they've got us in the ecosystem and they know that we're too lazy to get out. How come you paid $1,300 to get out of it? Because I had to buy out the phone. Oh, you really got screwed. I mean, that's what I had to do. I know the choice. No wonder why you hate change. I sold it though. I sold it on Facebook for like 800 bucks. So I didn't lose that much. I mean, I lost money. I lost $500 bucks. If you are okay with losing $500 like that, give me $500. I'm not okay with it, but I can live with it.

8:18Okay, smarty pants. I know that you need more tips like this because you want to stay ahead of the tech curve. But as they like to say on infomercials, but wait, there's more. This is really fun.
