Apple Italy Trade-In IMEI Transfer

I’m living in Turkey. Phone and IMEI registration prices very expensive in Turkey. I heard rumors on TikTok. If I use Apple Trade-In Service, Apple can transfer registered IMEI numer to new phone. Is it real? I going to travel to Milan, Italy in July.

No, it is not real. If you get a new iPhone, it will come with its own IMEI and you cannot get Apple to transfer the IMEI of a previous phone to your new phone.
