Yes - and you can trade-in qualifying devices as you wish - either in-store at a physical Apple Store - or using the online trade-in process:

Apple Trade In - Apple


Each device is individually assessed to establish its trade-in value. If using the online trade-in, you will be sent a shipping kit for the item. Devices are returned, assessed and a credit value assigned. The trade-in value is returned to you by way of an Apple gift card for each device - and these can be used to purchase whatever you wish with Apple. 


If a trade-in is initiated during an online purchase for a new device, you will will usually pay full price for the item - but will receive a refund against your credit card (or other payment method) upon subsequent return and acceptance of the item being returned for trade-in.


Many choose to complete their trade-in in-store - as doing so removes any uncertainty as to the trade-in value or acceptance.
