If it is blacklisted, it was blacklisted for a reason. Odds are it is a stolen phone, so no Apple won’t take stolen devices and give you store credit for it.


You could drop it off with them for recycle probably, or drop it off at any electronics recycling center - that’s all that device is good for now - recycling it.
