Can I still trade in my new iPhone for credit after purchase?
Asked by

I recently bought an iPhone 17 Pro without trading in my old phone. The salesperson suggested that I could have potentially gotten credit since the old one often just sits unused at home. I also got Apple Care, so I'm wondering if it's worth having an extra phone. Is it possible to trade in my new iPhone now and get that value applied to my purchase? Or will it just be issued as a gift card instead? Thanks in advance!

To get credit for your iPhone, you generally need to return it and then buy it again using a trade-in. If you're outside the 14-day return period, you'll likely receive an Apple gift card for the trade-in value instead of a direct credit for your current purchase. Just something to keep in mind!

If you bought it from Apple directly, you typically have a 14-day window to do a trade-in and get that value refunded to your original payment method. If you financed it through a carrier, the options might vary, so definitely check on that first! Good luck!
