Apple Trade In — four steps (official)
- 1. See what your smartphone is worth — Answer a few questions to get your estimated trade-in value.
- 2. Choose your payment method — Trade-in credit applies to any payment option — instant with Apple financing, after inspection with Buy, or as carrier bill credits.
- 3. Get ready to trade in — Keep your old device until the new one arrives; Apple sends a trade-in kit with backup and shipping instructions.
- 4. Ship within 14 days — After inspection, if condition matches your estimate the trade-in completes; otherwise Apple emails next steps.
How Apple Trade In works
With Apple Trade In, eligible smartphones can be traded for credit toward a new iPhone at Apple. The official flow:
- See what your smartphone is worth — Answer a few questions to get your estimated trade-in value.
- Choose your payment method — Trade-in value applies to any payment option. If you choose Buy, credit hits your payment method after inspection. Apple financing applies credit instantly. Carrier financing may apply instant credit or bill credits depending on the carrier. Carrier deals may require switching to a qualifying plan.
- Get ready to trade in your device — Keep your old phone until the new one arrives. Apple sends a trade-in kit and email instructions for backup, transfer, and prep — sometimes with the new product, sometimes separately when the order ships.
- Ship within 14 days of receiving your kit — After inspection, matching condition completes the trade-in; otherwise Apple emails next steps.
Gift card nuance: When you pay partly or fully with Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance, trade-in credit applies to those balances first (up to amounts paid with each) before any credit card refund. Excess trade-in value becomes an Apple Gift Card by email.
Recycling when trade-in credit doesn’t apply
If a device doesn’t qualify for trade-in credit, Apple will recycle it for free — prepaid label and packing instructions after purchase. Apple Stores also accept other devices, cables, cases, and monitors for free recycling via Apple Trade In.
Carrier Deals at Apple
The buy page highlights four U.S. carriers (full footnotes on apple.com):
- AT&T — Save up to $1100 after trade-in.
- Boost Mobile — Up to $830; page states no trade-in required to qualify (plan/installment rules still apply).
- T-Mobile — Save up to $1100 after trade-in.
- Verizon — Up to $830 for eligible trade-in in any condition.
Connectivity discounts bake a $30 carrier discount into select advertised iPhone 17 prices when you connect with AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile, or Verizon at checkout — not when you choose “Connect on your own later.”
FAQ highlights from the buy page
- eSIM only — U.S./Puerto Rico iPhone 16/17 family models have no physical SIM tray; multi-eSIM and dual-number capable.
- Unlocked by default — apple.com purchases are usually unlocked except AT&T Installment Plan locks.
- Ready on arrival — Completing carrier activation at checkout means eSIM-ready out of the box; “connect later” activates after delivery.
- Personal Setup — Free one-on-one online Specialist sessions for data transfer when buying direct.
- iPhone Upgrade Program — Includes AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss; use the upgrade trade-in path, not standard Trade In, when upgrading mid-program.
Where Pro sits in the 2026 iPhone line
On “Which iPhone is right for you?”, iPhone 17 Pro is “Innovative design for ultimate performance and battery life” — from $1099, 6.3″/6.9″ options, A19 Pro with 6-core GPU, 48MP triple Pro Fusion system with up to 8× optical zoom tiers, USB 3, up to 39 hours video on the larger Pro Max. iPhone Air ($999+) is thinner with a single Fusion camera; iPhone 17 ($799+) uses non-Pro A19; iPhone 17e ($599+) drops ProMotion, Dynamic Island, and Camera Control.
