Our partners will tell you if it has trade-in value or if it’s ready to recycle.

A better way to part with your favourite device.

You’ll see what it’s worth instantly.

Just answer a few questions about your device. Based on what you tell us, you could receive an Apple Store Gift Card or instant credit at an Apple Store.1 Or you’ll have the option to recycle it for free.

Your data stays safe.

Before you hand off your device, we’ll show you how to safely back up and wipe your data, so you can keep all your information to yourself.2 If it’s an Apple product, it’s even easier. Just use iCloud or Time Machine to move everything in a few steps.

It goes on to help the planet.

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. If not, we’ll send it to our recycling partner, so we can save more precious materials and take less from the earth.

And if it’s an iPhone, it could even go to Daisy3, our disassembly robot that can efficiently recover the resources inside.

Just mail it out or bring it in.

Trading in your device is as easy as buying a new one. We’ll give you a prepaid trade-in kit or shipping label to send it off. Or you can bring it to an Apple Store. If your device is eligible, you could receive instant credit towards the purchase of a new product. And if it’s not, we can send it on to our recyclers.

What is Apple Trade In and how does it work?

Apple Trade In is a device trade-in program offered by Apple. We work with trade-in partners who give you an estimated value based on the device information you provide. If you accept the quote, our partner will send you shipping materials (at no cost to you), and you can send in your device.

Our partner will inspect your device, and if it is in the condition stated, you’ll receive an Apple Store Gift Card for the quoted amount. If the device is not in the stated condition, our partner will send you a new quote. You can either accept the new quote or have your device sent back (at no cost to you).

Does Apple offer recycling?

Yes. If your device has no trade in value, Apple Trade In lets you recycle any Apple device and devices from Apple-owned brands at any Apple Store and online. We’ll make sure it’s recycled responsibly or given a chance to be used again. You can bring your batteries and old Apple products to any Apple Store, and we’ll recycle them responsibly, free of charge. We accept any small product or battery without purchase of a new product or battery.

If you know your product has no value or you have many units to recycle, you can bypass the trade-in evaluation and go directly to recycling. Select the “Other Devices Recycle” to initiate your request for recycling. In Australia only the recycling third party accepts all brands for recycling. Check the third party site for details.

What happens to my device once I trade it in or recycle it?

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.

How long does the entire process take?

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.

How do I follow the status of my trade-in?

You can follow the status of your trade-in by using our trade-in partner’s status portal.

Will I receive the quoted value?

Our trade-in partner will inspect your device. If it’s in the condition described, you will receive the quoted value in the form of 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 and receive an Apple Store Gift Card or reject it and have your device sent back to you for free.

Which devices are eligible for trade-in with Apple Trade In?

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.

Can I cancel my trade-in?

If you haven’t shipped your device yet, you can cancel your trade-in by visiting our trade-in partners’ site.

Do I have to send in my device’s accessories (charger, cables and so on)?

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.

Can I trade in at an Apple Store?

Yes, the Apple Trade In program is available in all our retail stores as well as online.

Can I trade in or recycle more than one device at a time?

You can trade in as many devices as you like, but we accept only one device per transaction.

How do I pack my device for trade-in?

Once you fill out your trade-in information online and verify your email address, a trade-in kit will be shipped to you. The kit includes instructions on how to prepare, pack and ship your device.

How do I pack my device for recycling?

Devices that contain batteries should be packed in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and industry best practices, which typically include the guidelines below:

  • Discharge the unit to less than 30 per cent.
  • Do not ship electronics that are disassembled into parts.
  • Do not ship electronics with swollen or damaged batteries.
  • For whole units, surround the product with at least 6 centimetres of suitable filler material, such as recycled or reused packaging, on all sides before placing inside a corrugated box.
  • Ship only one device per box.

Where do I take my package for shipment?

Follow the shipping instructions provided by our trade-in partners.

When will I get my Apple Store Gift Card?

How long do I have to send my device to you?
