Apple has launched the iPhone 18 Pro in India at a starting price of Rs 1,64,900. For buyers looking to reduce the upfront cost, Apple is offering its Trade In programme, allowing customers to exchange an eligible smartphone for credit towards the new iPhone.
The programme also accepts several Android phones, including models from Samsung, Google and OnePlus.
iPhone 18 Pro Trade In: How Does It Work?
Apple Trade In allows customers to exchange an eligible smartphone when purchasing a new iPhone. Buyers have to provide details about their existing phone, including its model and condition.
Apple then provides an estimated trade-in value, which can be used as instant credit towards the purchase. For online orders, Apple says the trade-in is completed when the new iPhone is delivered. A courier checks the old device and runs a diagnostic test before completing the exchange. If the condition does not match the details provided earlier, the final trade-in value can be revised.
