If possible, always do the trade-in at the Apple Store. Apple uses a third party company for mail-ins and often times, people get ripped off that way.
^ above is true.
Send in a perfect looking iPhone and receive a notice from the trade in company that your iPhone is damaged and they won’t honor a reasonable trade in price.

I suggest to always go in person to the Apple Store for a trade in. I do not trust mail in.
I'm from Italy and I could only trade in my iPhone online, here in Italy they had no problems shipping it
When I pre ordered my 14PM from Apple, I stated pickup at store and trade in, but for some reason it processed as shipment to my home Is there anything I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen again ? As I would really like to pre order and trade in at the Apple Store.
If I select no trade in and pickup at Apple Store but trade in my IPhone at the store would I lose a credit on my purchase price via a gift card which I don’t want. Thanks.

I’m aware they are like cash but I was referring to getting a trade in discount at Apple Store for pickup. Apple Cash gift card won’t be any good to me of if I can’t use it against my iPhone 16 purchase. If you see what I mean ?
Here is what I did 2 years ago. I ordered a new phone online and paid in full via credit card. A few days later, I went into the Apple Store and told them I wanted to return the new iPhone and then repurchase it using my old iPhone as a trade in plus 3 gift cards I had. No problem doing so and I will do this again this cycle.
Just take it to the Apple Store and tell them trade in on your new device. They can check order and apply. No gift card. Done it already.
Quick Trade In Question.
Got 420 in an Apple Gift Card.
Will be paying another 600ish in Cash.
Trading in my iPhone 15PM as part of the order. I know I have to pay the full iPhone 16 cost first hence the above.
Do we know if Apple will give me the 15PM tradein value on a gift card or to my bank? If I do store pickup, I'm assuming they'll just either issue the tradein credit to my bank card or reduce the cost of the iPhone16 by the trade in value?

Even though I’ve paid in full during the pre order process they can do this ? Thanks.
I will never ever use the mail in service again. In store trade in only. They assess the phone in front of you. I had once a perfectly fine MacBook mailed to whatever company Apple is using. They assessed it as broken display. Had it mailed back. 3 yrs later still works strong for my kid.
Past few years I’ve been trading in with . I go grab the new one, get it home, set it up and make sure it works fine. Over the next few days, I take the old one in and trade it in and get a credit back to my original form of payment.
You can still take it to the store and trade it in despite the, shipping you a trade in box. Had this happen last year. You’ll still get an email or two reminding you to mail in your old phone even after you’ve taken it in.
If you pre-order the phone w/ Apple Card's 0% for 24 months, can I still take my trade in to an Apple store for credit against the Apple Card ??
How do you achieve this. Getting a credit put on your original order ? This is the area that I was inquiring about. I read you get a gift card generally speaking.
