I recommend doing it in store. The reason is that you will get an immediate valuation on your trade-in so there are no surprises. Since the condition is subjective when using the online form, it is possible that there would be a devaluation once the device has been received and evaluated.

You can trade your device in at an Apple Store. Many carriers offer trade-in, as do Apple authorized Service Providers.

I have to add my vote to the other specialists here. Based on my experience over the years, I prefer to do pick ups and trade ins at the store where I can talk to someone in person. This way, there is no question about the condition of my trade in. And the Apple person has always set up my new device for me.

Hi, personally, I like to do trade-ins, in the Apple Store or Apple Authorized Retailer. Things seem to go smoother in my experience. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your new iPhone 18 Pro Max!
