With Apple Trade In, it’s easy to trade in your eligible device for credit or have it recycled for free.
Answer a few questions to get your estimated trade-in value. Choose monthly payments and we’ll apply the value as an instant credit. Pay in full and we’ll credit your payment method after we receive and evaluate your trade-in.
You’ll keep your trade-in device until you receive your new Apple Watch. We’ll email instructions and free shipping details so you can drop off your trade-in at a participating location. We’ll also send a trade-in kit with a box for packing up your device.
Once we receive your device, a team will inspect and verify its condition. If everything checks out, your trade-in is complete. If your device doesn’t match the condition you described, you’ll receive an email with next steps.
If you paid in full and we confirm that the value of your trade-in was more than the cost of your new Apple Watch, you'll receive an Apple Gift Card by email with the remaining amount.
If your device doesn’t qualify for trade-in value, we’ll recycle it for free. Once you complete your purchase, you’ll get an email with a prepaid shipping label and instructions on how to box up your old device and locate your nearest drop-off location.
