Apple's iPhone Trade-In Program
Apple's official trade-in program allows customers to receive credit towards a new device by submitting an older iPhone. This option is available when purchasing directly from Apple and can help offset the cost of an upgrade.
The value offered for trade-ins depends on the model and its condition. Even devices with minor scratches or dents can still be considered in 'Good' condition.
Eligible iPhone Models and Values
The oldest iPhone model eligible for trade-in credit is the iPhone 8, which was released in 2017. An iPhone 8 in good condition can yield $35 in credit.
Other older models like the iPhone 8 Plus can receive $40 for a good condition device or $10 for limited damage. An iPhone X in good condition is valued at $60, but damaged models receive no credit. Trade-in amounts are estimates and can vary based on the actual condition upon inspection.
Non-Credited Devices
While Apple's trade-in list extends back to the iPhone 5, models older than the iPhone 8 do not receive any monetary credit. If a device is too old or too damaged to qualify for credit, Apple will offer to recycle it instead.
