If the phone was a "trade-in" on a new iPhone,

Check your trade-in confirmation email for the details of how to return your device,

(maybe by courier or dropping off at an eligible location.) There may be a time limit.


seems Apple generally send packaging in which you can return the older iPhone.

Also scroll down in above linked article to see: "Pack your iPhone" for detailed instructions,

If needed:

You might want to check if you have a tech support case ID, ... perhaps in an e-mail from Apple ?

There is a link on this Apple Support page "to see your cases or repairs"

Else: If needed: As you have a new iPhone:
