Hi,

When using the Trade-In Program, you always want to confirm the following has been done before sending the product to Apple:

Note: If you are using QuickStart to migrate from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, complete QuickStart first.

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Sign out of iCloud Settings and disable Activation Lock
Erase all content and settings
remove all cases, screen protectors, and/or SIM card

Apple Trade In

Prepare your iPhone for packing and shipping - Apple Support

Note: This resource was created for sending your iPhone to Apple apart of a repair, but essentially is the same instructions you will follow with your Trade-In Kit.

Hope this helps.
