When does Apple apply your trade-in credit?
Check the estimate while configuring your iPhone Duo. If you’re waiting for a specific color or storage size, check Apple Store pickup and delivery options before choosing when to switch.
Pay in full. For an online order, Apple credits your original payment method after it receives and inspects your Galaxy. Plan for the full purchase price up front.
Choose an eligible monthly payment option. Apple can apply the estimated credit to the purchase price up front and charge the difference if the verified value comes in lower and you accept the revised offer.
Trade in separately. Apple can issue an Apple Gift Card for an eligible device. If you need the gift card to pay for the Duo, wait until it’s issued before ordering.
Apple’s online trade-in instructions say it should receive your old phone within 14 days of when you receive the new one. If your order ships later, the window starts when the Duo arrives. Follow the deadline and shipping or drop-off instructions in your trade-in email. Apple Trade In terms and FAQs
How do carrier deals compare with Apple Trade In?
Apple’s iPhone Duo store lists carrier promotions from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Check which plan and phone qualify, how the promotion is paid out, and what happens to any remaining credits if you leave early. Compare the total cost over the promotion period, including any change to your monthly plan. Apple’s iPhone Duo carrier offers

What should you do before handing over your Galaxy?
- Check the phone before accepting the estimate. Test touch on both displays, open and close the hinge, and answer the condition questions as shown. If there’s inner-screen or hinge damage and you’re unsure how to describe it online, ask for an in-store assessment.
- Move your data while you have both phones. Back up the Galaxy and choose From Android during iPhone setup to use Move to iOS. Check that your key data came across and confirm that calls and texts work on the Duo’s eSIM before erasing the Galaxy.
- Sign out and erase the Galaxy. Sign out of your Android accounts, reset the phone and remove the physical SIM if it has one. Then use Apple’s shipping kit or follow your drop-off instructions.
