# Upgraders of M5 Vision Pro Must Seek Alternatives to Discard Apple’s Initial Model
Are you an early adopter of Vision Pro eager to upgrade to the latest M5 version? While trade-in is a typical choice for other Apple devices, the company regrettably does not provide a trade-in option for those purchasing the new Vision Pro.
Apple has just unveiled the M5 Vision Pro, showcasing numerous incremental enhancements over the prior M2 model. If you’ve been hesitant about acquiring a Vision Pro, there’s likely nothing about the M5 version that will compel you to buy. However, if you possess and cherish the original Vision Pro model, utilizing it extensively in your daily routine and work, you may be curious about the cost of upgrading to the M5.
The new M5 Vision Pro retains the same starting price of $3,499 as the M2 version. Trading in the original model should, in principle, reduce that price. However, if you wish to do so, you’ll need to seek alternatives outside of Apple. Unlike almost every other item Apple offers, the company currently does not provide an option to trade in the original Vision Pro.
This implies that anyone aiming to upgrade to the M5 version will have to sell their original Vision Pro through a third-party marketplace such as eBay or find a friend or family member interested in it. It’s unfortunate that Apple is not granting its most dedicated Vision Pro enthusiasts a first-party trade-in option, particularly as the company could gain from offering refurbished Vision Pro models at reduced prices.
Regardless, the number of affected users is likely minimal. Yet, if you are considering trading in your Vision Pro for a new M5 version, we’d be eager to hear your thoughts. Would you contemplate trading in your Vision Pro for the M5 variant? If so, share your thoughts in the comments.
