You may be done with your device, but chances are it still has more to give. If it’s in good shape, we’ll help it go to a new owner, diverting electronic waste from landfills. If not, we’ll send it to our recycling partner, so we can save more precious materials and take less from the earth.

It’s our trade-in and recycling program that’s good for you and the planet. If your trade-in device is eligible for credit, you can offset the purchase price of a new one. If it’s not eligible for credit, you can recycle it for free.

When we receive your device, our partners will thoroughly inspect it. If the device is in good working condition, it can be refurbished so it can go on to a new owner. If it’s not in working order, it will be recycled in an environmentally responsible way through one of our partners.

The entire trade-in process takes about two to three weeks. But the faster you send in your device, the sooner your trade-in will be inspected and processed.

You can see the status of your trade-in by following the link in your confirmation email.

Our trade-in partner will inspect your device. If it’s in the condition described, we’ll credit your original payment method, up to the total purchase price. If there’s any remaining amount, you’ll receive an Apple Store Gift Card. If it’s not in the condition described, a new quote will be sent to you. You will have the option to either accept this quote or reject it and have your device sent back to you for free.

If you buy an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch and pay in full, we’ll apply a credit to your original payment method up to the total purchase price. For any remaining amount, you’ll receive an Apple Store Gift Card via email.

Trade-in credit is issued after your device is received and inspected. The trade-in value is not deducted from the price of your new product before taxes are assessed.

If you want to purchase a new iPhone by financing it through your carrier, and also want to add a trade-in to lower the cost, you’ll have to visit an Apple Store in person. A Specialist will help you select, purchase and activate your new iPhone. They’ll explain how Apple Trade In works. Be sure to back up your trade-in device before you bring it to an Apple Store.

Taxes will be charged based on the full price of your new device. Your trade-in value will be credited to your original payment method once your old device has been received and inspected.

When getting your old device ready to send in, please refer to instructions for how to turn off Find My on your device. The team inspecting your device must be able to turn it on and remove the passcode. Once your device is inspected, the trade-in value is verified and we can finalize your refund.

All Apple products are eligible for recycling, and some are also eligible for credit. Either way, give us your used devices, and we will always recycle them in a responsible way.

If you haven’t shipped your device yet, you can cancel your trade-in by visiting the status portal. If you’ve already shipped your device, the trade-in can’t be cancelled unless you receive a new trade-in value after the inspection of your device, which you can then choose to reject.

In some cases, your trade-in value can vary depending on whether you send in your power adapter. You don’t have to, but you can send in your chargers and cables, and we will recycle them for you.
