Samsung offering a guaranteed £200 trade-in price on S25 range

Daily Mirror4 days ago

Customers can get at least £200 off a new Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra when they trade in their old phone, even if it's broken or cracked
Samsung is offering customers the chance to trade in their old phone to receive at least £200 off a new Galaxy S25 device. The retailer is accepting any smartphone in any condition, even if it's broken or cracked.
In order to take advantage of this generous offer, shoppers need to select their new Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra device and confirm the brand, model and condition of their old phone. They will then receive an instant discount on their new gadget, ranging from £200 to £506 depending on the phone being purchased and the condition of the old device.
Next, customers will need to return their old phone in the supplied packaging to complete the trade-in process. As well as accepting old Samsung phones, the retailer is allowing people to trade in a variety of used iPhone models, the Google Pixel Fold and other android devices.
The biggest amount shoppers can save is £581 on a new Galaxy S25 Ultra when trading in their old Samsung device. This reduces the price of the 256GB phone from £1,249 to £668. Customers trading in an Apple device can get a £500 discount, while the Google Pixel Fold phone will earn a £290 reduction.
For shoppers who only require 128GB, the Samsung Galaxy S25 can be purchased with up to £375 off when trading in an old Samsung model. Those trading in an iPhone can get up to £370 off, and the Google Pixel Fold phone remains at a £290 reduction.
Samsung isn't the only retailer where customers can snap up a great deal on a new phone. Amazon is currently offering a whopping £300 discount on the 128GB Google Pixel 9 Pro, reducing it from £999 to £699.
Currys is currently offering a £50 discount on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro. This 128GB phone has been reduced from £949 to £899.
Over on Trustpilot, shoppers are full of praise for Samsung's trade-in service. One buyer commented: "The phone arrived the next day, and the process of the trade-in was so simple. Plus, it came with free buds and Disney+ for a year.
"It's so much easier and better to buy a phone directly through Samsung rather than pay inflated prices through a traditional phone shop like EE or Vodafone. Would deffo recommend to anyone."
Sadly, one Samsung customer had a bad experience trading in their old device. They explained: "I made a mistake when trading in, which resulted in a £9 difference in trade-in price. I was forced to pay £100 surcharge. Customer service was not helpful at all."
However, someone else who used Samsung's trade-in service for a new laptop awarded the company five stars. They wrote: "I ordered a new laptop directly from Samsung as they were offering a discount and trade-in promo, representing the best deal I could get. The laptop was delivered 24 hours later by DPD, with good tracking information along the way.
"The trade-in pack was included in the package, so I followed the instructions to box up my old laptop and return it with the supplied label. That all went smoothly with good communication from Samsung. I am very happy with the laptop itself so all in all my experience has been positive."

Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress

(Reuters) — Apple was sued on Friday by shareholders in a proposed securities fraud class action that accused it of downplaying how long it needed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant, hurting iPhone sales and its stock price. The complaint covers shareholders who suffered potentially hundreds of billions of dollars of losses in the year ending June 9, when Apple introduced several features and aesthetic improvements for its products but kept AI changes modest. Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CEO Tim Cook, Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh and former CFO Luca Maestri are also defendants in the lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court. Shareholders led by Eric Tucker said that at its June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple led them to believe AI would be a key driver of iPhone 16 devices, when it launched Apple Intelligence to make Siri more powerful and user-friendly. But they said the Cupertino, California-based company lacked a functional prototype of AI-based Siri features, and could not reasonably believe the features would ever be ready for iPhone 16s. Shareholders said the truth began to emerge on March 7 when Apple delayed some Siri upgrades to 2026, and continued through this year's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9 when Apple's assessment of its AI progress disappointed analysts. Apple shares have lost nearly one-fourth of their value since their December 26, 2024 record high, wiping out approximately $900 billion of market value.

Major move by America's biggest retailer spells job doom after chilling CEO warning

Robots are whirring through a 2.8 million-square-foot Amazon facility. The company says the bots are here to help, not replace. Amazon recently began shipping orders from its new $300 million robotics fulfillment center in Charlton, Massachusetts, the company confirmed to The four-story facility houses cutting-edge tech, including hundreds of autonomous machines capable of lifting up to 1,500 pounds. They work alongside more than 1,000 full-time employees to get books, electronics, and toys into delivery trucks. Amazon staffers are 'working alongside robotics and other technology that assist our frontline employees as they deliver for our customers,' Amber Plunkett, a spokesperson for Amazon, told 'Ever since we introduced robotics to our facilities over a decade ago, we have added hundreds of thousands of people to Amazon's workforce.' They're working at the e-commerce giant's $300 million robotics fulfillment center in Charlton, Massachusetts, helping humans get packages ready for deliveries. It's the largest such facility in the state. Amazon expects it will generate around $65.5 million in local revenue. But the rollout comes amid a wave of job security anxiety because of AI — and even Amazon's top brass admits the shift won't be painless. '​​As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,' the company's CEO, Andy Jassy, said in an internal memo to his corporate staff. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce.' For their part, Amazon told that it is training a future workforce for new positions that will 'help design, build, maintain, and work alongside our technology.' The company didn't commit to maintaining current staffing levels. Jassy's memo comes as dozens of iconic tech companies make huge slashes because of generative tech. Microsoft is planning on cutting thousands of jobs to make deeper investments in its AI capacity. Amazon said the new Massachusetts center comes after a $300 million investment - it believes the high-tech facility will bring millions in regional revenue Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, wrote a note to corporate staff, warning that some of their jobs might be made redundant with AI Amazon said it has been retraining workers to prepare them for the advanced-tech future Intel, the flagging computer chip producer, said it will cut 15 to 20 percent of its workforce. Walmart, America's biggest private employer, slashed 1,500 jobs, including tech-related positions. Even consumer brands like Lululemon and Procter & Gamble will slash positions from its staff. AI-driven job cuts are frightening middle- and high-income workers that have largely been shielded by massive cuts. For years, those layoffs were concentrated in US manufacturing plants. The trend is freaking out college-educated employees.
