I just got a new iPhone and transferred all my data over, but I found out I can't sell my old phone because Apple requires a 30-day waiting period to remove it from Find My iPhone. Is there any way to bypass this waiting time and have them remove it sooner?

If you disabled Find My iPhone from the website instead of directly on the device, you might need to log back into your phone, turn off Find My, then sign out and erase it again. This can sometimes remove the Activation Lock immediately, though you might still see it linked for 30 days.
What exactly are they "removing"? Just curious because it might help figure out how to speed things up for you.
Before we dive in deeper, can you clarify what’s going on? Are you trying to sell your new phone or are you looking to sell your old one after the upgrade? Also, where did you buy your new phone from? Knowing whether you bought it outright or through installments helps us find a solution.
Honestly, I’m not sure why it takes 30 days either! Usually, you should just be able to erase the phone and you’d be good to go. Might be worth trying that first.
