Beware Apple Trade-In
I've tried three times to send Apple a functional device for trade-in value, and each time they've returned it saying it's non-functional in some way. For instance, they said my daughter's phone could not be charged. When they sent it back we plugged it in and it charged right up. I don't think I'll bother trying to trade-in value again. It's a waste of my time. More on reddit.com

Apple Trade-In is Truly Awful Now (normal wear and tear is damage now.)
When I did my trade-in, I brought it personally to my local Apple Store. An Apple employee checked it out on the spot. It took about 15 minutes and everything was super smooth. I walked out with a gift card for the value of the trade-in and applied it to the purchase of my new Mac when I got home. I could've just used the credit at the time of the trade-in but the configuration I wanted was BTO. More on reddit.com

r/apple on Reddit: Beware Apple Trade-In
February 8, 2022 -

I was trusting that Apple was doing device trade-in, not a third-party. I wish that I had come to Reddit and the internet before I had traded.

I sent a pristine 11 Pro Max that had never left its case. I even took video of it before I sent it. The third-party is claiming that the camera is broken, when it was fully functional before I sent my phone. Now, they’re sending me back a broken phone that was once totally perfect.

Does anyone happen to know if there’s any way to seek legal recourse? This isn’t right.

Either way. ONLY trade in your device in-person. I would never do or recommend this method ever again.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who has solid advice and info. I’m truly glad for the people who had good experiences, because that is what I expected for myself, but I’m also confused at all of the flippant responses and downvotes. I did originally believe that Apple was doing the trade-in in-house, which I will accept as my own oversight. I’m not afraid to drive to trade-in, but my purchase was a gift that I was using my trade-in for and my closest store was sold out of the device. Not only that, many people live hundreds and hundreds of miles away from Apple Stores. It’s definitely up to personal preference and what is available to you; I will ONLY do in-store trades from now on, but may my experience be a cautionary tale to the next person who needs to trade-in online: take photos, videos of functionality, and get your serial number prepared just in case! I am not the first person who has experienced this issue, and I’m sure that I will not be the last. Ounce of prevention, as it were.
