Hi,


When using the Trade-In Program, you always want to confirm the following has been done before sending the product to Apple:

Note: If you are using QuickStart to migrate from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, complete QuickStart first.

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


  • Sign out of iCloud Settings and disable Activation Lock
  • Erase all content and settings
  • remove all cases, screen protectors, and/or SIM card

Prepare your iPhone for packing and shipping - Apple Support

Note: This resource was created for sending your iPhone to Apple apart of a repair, but essentially is the same instructions you will follow with your Trade-In Kit.


Hope this helps.
