Every device has a lifecycle, but what happens to the devices you’re retiring?  How much value are you leaving behind? And how can you make upgrades easier for both employees and IT teams? Introducing Apple Business Trade-In. A smarter way to refresh your organization’s technology while maximizing the value of the devices you already own.

Built specifically for business, Apple Business Trade-In helps organizations unlock the residual value of their Apple devices and reinvest it into future technology initiatives.

Why Apple Business Trade-In?

• Apple devices hold their value
  This program helps you put that value to work. Trade in eligible Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices for credit toward your next purchase.
• Know what you’ll get
  Devices are quoted at a single value using clear, published grading, so there’s no guesswork.
• Keep your data protected
  We erase every device to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines, and you get a Certificate of Erasure.
• Leave the logistics to us
  Packaging and prepaid shipping labels are included, even if your devices are spread across multiple locations. You can track every return in Apple Return Manager.
• Cut down on e-waste
  Retired devices are refurbished or recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.

How It Works

1. Request a quote
   Submit device serial numbers to Apple to confirm eligibility and receive a quote.
2. Ship your devices
   Return devices using the packaging and prepaid labels provided.
3. Apply your credit
   Credits flow through Stratix to offset the purchase of new Apple devices.
