Apple Trade In
Apple’s very own trade-in program allows customers to trade in their old Apple products to use towards their next Apple purchase. Depending on your device model, iPads can fetch up to HK$3,500, while Macbooks’ trade-in value can reach up to HK$4,450. If your device is damaged in a way and isn’t eligible for the trade-in programme, Apple also offers to recycle products for free no matter the model or condition.
Bring your device to any Apple Store for instant credit, or request for a prepaid trade-in kit or shipping label from Apple for this program.
