Buy back program with European devices

Hi

For the buy back program (for the iPhones) would it be possible to get a new device from the US while bringing in a european iPhone? More specifically from Germany? As i am travelling to the US in a couple of months, i was thinking to use the opportunity and get the new iPhone straight from its home country :)

thanks

Well, the decision is up to you, daiana612.

I think that if you go to an Apple Store in US you can make that operation.

Buying the new device, tell them you need an unlocked AND Sim free iPhone, and notify them that you'll use it in Germany.


Regards and best of luck.

Trade in is valid in Germany too. See this article:

Inzahlungnahme mit Apple GiveBack - Apple (DE)


It's not a good practice to buy an iPhone abroad, because of the limited warranty (valid only in the country where you bought that device).

Also, be careful about the compatibility model your buying:

iPhone - View countries with supported LTE networks - Apple
