The iPhone 16 series, which includes the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, recently launched in India. The new series is powered by the advanced A18 processor, which can support Apple’s in-house AI, Apple Intelligence. While the sale will go live on September 20, pre-bookings have already begun. The iPhone 16 starts at Rs 79,900. But did you know, there’s a way to buy the device at an even cheaper price. And we’re not talking about bank offers. Apple Trade-In offers attractive exchange deals, which will bring down the price of the device further. Let’s check it out.

Apple Trade-In: How to exchange?

Apple Trade In is an offer that allows you to exchange your old device for a new Apple device. Apple Trade In lets you exchange eligible devices for credit at the Apple Store, which can be used towards an iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch 10 or any new purchase of your choice. Eligible devices include iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and even some Android smartphones.

This not only saves you money but also helps save the environment. With Apple trade-in, old devices aren’t going to landfill or just sitting in your drawer, but are either given to a new owner or recycled.

You can visit a retail store or ask the executive to pick up the device at home. In terms of timing, if you apply online, you will have to send your trade-in device to Apple via post within 14 days of receiving your new device. Its status is then checked and it is verified, before your credit or gift card balance is credited directly to your account. Offline, you can visit any Apple Store near you and inform them that you want to trade-in your old device. They will inspect your device, and provide an appraisal on the spot.

And this time, Apple is offering to exchange your old device for the iPhone 16.
