Trade in iPhone that was purchased from AT&T

I purchased my iPhone 13pro from AT&T. I want to pay off the phone and buy a new one from Apple directly. Can I get trade in credit from Apple if I did not buy my phone there? I don't want to be stuck with AT&T forever.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Hello Rome3552, If you are still under contract with AT&T then no on trading it in to Apple because the iPhone will be LOCKED and unable for trade in. If the iPhone is paid for and you have met your contract time then the iPhone can be UNLOCKED and would be eligible for trade in to Apple.
