My two iPhone 16 PMs were returned to Apple and they received the delivery on Tuesday. It says it should only take 24hours to inspect the phones and close the loan, etc, but it's now three days later and it's still stuck on "received by Apple, iPhone is being inspected".

At what point should I start to be concerned? Anyone else in the same position?

My Apple Watch Ultra was received by Apple last Thursday and I got an email from Apple Wednesday saying that the trade-in was accepted and my refund was being processed (which happened yesterday).

They likely are receiving a lot of these during this and the next few weeks.
 
My 16 Pro trade in was received by Apple on 9/26 and credited on 9/29.
1 business day.
$580 credited towards my Apple Card.

It can up to 3 business days to change status. I would give it till next Tuesday October 7 to change status. If nothing by then I would definitely inquire about it.
