The AI priced my new iPhone and AirPods and saved me about $250

Andrew asked the AI for the cheapest price on a new iPhone and AirPods, the best trade in value for his old phone, and whether a new model was about to drop. The AI found Amazon beat Apple by about $50 on the AirPods and a trade in worth about $200 more, and he bought on Amazon himself in the end.

$250

How it works

  1. Ask the AI for the cheapest iPhone and AirPods prices, the best trade in value, and whether a new model is about to drop
  2. The AI compares sellers and trade in offers
  3. Amazon is about $50 cheaper on the AirPods and the better trade in is worth about $200 more
  4. He buys on Amazon himself

Why it’s worth knowing

One ask covered the price, the trade in and the timing. The better trade in mattered more than the sticker price.
