After you receive the kit, you have fourteen days to prepare and mail in your device. If you purchased an iPhone and added the trade-in option, you might receive the kit together with your new iPhone. The kit will be mailed to the address you provide once your product has been delivered or picked up. After we receive your trade, we'll inspect the item and determine if it is in good condition. If your device does NOT match the description, you'll be emailed with next steps. If you paid in full but the value of the device was less than the cost of your iPhone, you'll be emailed an Apple Gift Card with the balance.
Not all devices qualify for credit. To be eligible for credit or an Apple Gift Card trade-in, you must be 18 years of age. You can use the trade-in value to purchase a qualifying new device or add it to an Apple Gift Card. The actual value is determined upon receipt of a qualified device matching the description that was provided at the time of estimate. A full-value purchase of a new gadget may attract sales tax. You must present a valid photo ID to trade in your device. Some local laws may require you to save this information. This offer is not available in all stores. It may also vary between online and in store trade-in. Additional requirements may apply to some stores. Apple and its trade in partners reserve the rights to refuse, limit or restrict trade-in transactions. Apple's partner in trade-in can provide additional information regarding trade-in and recycling of eligible products. Some restrictions and limitations may apply.
If you are looking for an ultra-high-end iOS device, the 13 Pro Max retails at the same price as last year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max. Although Apple is rumored to be discontinuing the 12 Pro Max, you might still find them on shelves at a lower price. Both devices are 5G capable and have a strikingly similar design, so it may be worth checking out the older device if your goal is to save some cash.
