The iPhone trade-in program
With their new devices, they wanted to spread love and support to their fans who yearn to get their hands on the iPhone 11. This means that people can trade their old iPhones (the previous models) to the new iPhone 11!
It can be any of these iPhones: the iPhone XR, the iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max. However, do note that there is only a specific retailer that allows this – Switch.
So it cannot be done in any other store?
As much as we would love to spread good news about the newest blowout Apple has, it’s only available by making the trade-in through Switch, Apple’s Premium and Official Retailer.

Switch is the official Apple reseller and retailer here in the country; it’s like an extension of the legitimate Apple store that you can see in other countries. By this, they’re the only store allowed to even proceed with the iPhone trade-in.
How can I trade in my old iPhone to a new one?
Just a reminder, the only phones you can trade in for the new iPhone 11 are: iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max. Any iPhone models lower than the aforementioned are not going to be traded in.
The process is like getting some sort of a “discount” in your iPhone 11 purchase. For instance, let’s say you own an iPhone XS Max. What its current value is would be the amount that would directly be store credits toward what phone you are eyeing for.

Of course, your old phone cannot be rugged, rusty, and broken; it is a requirement that the current phone you have must be in almost a perfect condition for it to be eligible in the trade-in program for the new iPhone 11.
So to summarize, whatever the retail price of your phone is, it’s going to be converted into store credits to be used in your purchase. Should there be still an amount remaining after the trade-in, you can then choose to pay the remaining amount in any of the following payment methods:
- Cash
- Debit card
- Credit card
- GCash
- Home Credit
- Alipay
