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.

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

Apple Trade In is a device trade-in program offered by Apple. We work with our trade-in partner who gives 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).
Yes. 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. Some devices may also be eligible for credit. 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. Visit apple.com/ae/trade-in/ for more information about our recycling services.

If you’re ready to buy a new product at an Apple Store, you can bring your old device with you. If it’s eligible for trade-in, we’ll apply an instant credit at the time of purchase. The only exception is that we don’t currently accept iMac trade-ins in the Apple Store.

Alternatively, you can trade in your old device online for an Apple Store Gift Card via email that you can apply to any future Apple purchase.

And no matter how you use Apple Trade In, if your device has no trade-in value, you can always recycle it responsibly for free.

Select iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and third-party smartphones are eligible for a trade-in refund or an Apple Store Gift Card. And all Apple devices are eligible for recycling. Either way, hand us your used devices and we will handle them responsibly.
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.
