How to prepare your Mac Pro for Apple Trade In

Prepare and send your old device to Apple for trade-in.

If you opted to trade in your Mac Pro when you purchased an Apple product, you’ll receive a kit with everything you need to send your old device back to Apple. You may receive a kit in the same package that your new device was sent in. Otherwise, the kit will be delivered by a courier or sent to you separately as soon as your new item has been returned or picked up. If you’re in the Asia-Pacific region, a trade-in kit will be delivered to you or made available at a designated location.
