  • You can trade in many Apple devices for a trade-in credit. If your device isn’t eligible for any trade-in value, you can still recycle it with Apple for free.

  • Yes, engraved Apple products are eligible for trade-in. If the device was engraved by Apple, its trade-in value won’t be impacted. However, third-party engraving may affect your device’s value.

  • It depends on the device, model, manufacturer, and condition. Answer a few questions accurately, and once we receive the device within the specified time frame and verify its condition, you’ll most likely receive the full amount of the estimated refund.

    Keep in mind that we need to receive your trade-in device within 14 days of when you receive your new device, and the condition of your trade-in needs to match what you told us.

  • Yes, the Apple Trade In programme is available on apple.com/my as well as in all our retail stores.

    A Specialist will evaluate your device on the spot, so the trade-in credit you get in the store may differ from the estimated trade-in value you received online if the condition doesn’t match what you described.

  • On your iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad, go to Settings > General and tap About. On Mac devices, click the  menu and go to About This Mac.

    If you’re still unable to locate it, there are a few other ways to find your serial number(Opens in a new window).

    You’ll need the serial number to see an accurate trade-in value for your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.

  • If you buy an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch, your credit will be applied to your original payment method up to the total purchase price after we receive your trade-in device and confirm that the condition matches what you described. For any remaining amount, you’ll receive an Apple Store Gift Card by email.

  • Generally it takes 2–3 weeks. Your trade-in device needs to be sent to us within 14 days of receiving your new device. The sooner we receive your trade-in, the sooner we can verify its condition and process your credit. It may take 3–5 business days for your credit to be processed.

  • Your trade-in estimate is valid for 14 days after you receive your new device. It’s important that we receive your trade-in within this time frame to ensure that you get the estimated value.

  • You don’t have to, but you can always send in your chargers, cables, cases, and watch straps and we will recycle them responsibly. However, if you cancel your trade-in, we’ll be unable to return them to you.

  • Yes. If you bought a new device online with a trade-in, you can track your status(Opens in a new window) at any time.

  • If you haven’t dropped off or shipped your device yet, you can cancel your trade-in by simply keeping your device.

    If you’ve already sent us your device, the trade-in can’t be cancelled. However, if you receive a lower revised trade-in value after we inspect your device, you can choose to reject it.

    If you buy a new device online with a trade-in and return the new device, your trade-in will be cancelled automatically and we’ll return your trade-in device.

  • If the condition of your device is different from what you described, we’ll provide a revised value.

    If the revised value is lower than the initial estimate, you can either accept or reject it. If you accept it, we’ll continue with the trade-in and the revised amount will be credited to your original payment method (or in some cases, via Apple Store Gift Card). If you reject it, we’ll cancel the trade-in and return your old device.

    If the revised value increases, we’ll automatically increase your trade-in credit.

This includes your batteries and electronic products as well as packaging recycling for our commercial, education and institutional customers.
