Hi Noelstur,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're concerned about losing photos and other data when you trade in your iPhone. We'd like to help.


Do you currently back up your iPhone? Confirming a backup and then following the rest of the steps here will help ensure that your data is safe:


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Hope that helps.

Cheers!
