Seeing as AT&T and Apple have a sales agreement with each other, I doubt you'd be able to trade Apple your iPhone for $$ that you still haven't paid off with at&t.

You'd probably have to pay it off completely. But here's an idea, why don't you ask Apple?

I though that can trade left amount with pay in one time for apple 499$ like above , so i dont have to worry 2 site bill apple/att.....

I know that att does trade in too but they didnt bring up option yet ,

I am pretty sure that you are going to have to pay off your AT&T NEXT device(s) before attempting to buy a new iPhone; I don't think it is possible to go to Apple and attempt to trade in a device which isn't fully paid off to AT&T. They -- Apple and AT&T -- are two separate companies and although they do work together this kind of scenario probably is not acceptable to either party. In previous years I have used the NEXT program to purchase my iPhones and then in the next autumn when a new iPhone is on the horizon have paid off the balance owed to AT&T prior to then going to the Apple store to trade in the older device, purchase the new iPhone and begin a new NEXT program with the new iPhone. However, I have read on MR that now AT&T has somewhat changed their NEXT program and so I am considering simply this time paying off my iPhone XS as usual and then either going with the Apple program or paying for the new phone outright from the get-go. In any case whatever I do I will be trading in an iPhone and getting credit for that, which does help with the financials.

So why apple site didnt mention pay off or not , they just said trade in and select any phone want to trade in , and at the next page they dont ask anything about that phone has been pay off or not ,>>

You can do anything you like with your phone, but if you don't trade it back to AT&T, they're still going to expect you to pay the remainder you owe on it.

Because the expectation is that the individual making the trade in is someone who actually already totally OWNS the phone and therefore is legally entitled to sell it or trade it in on a new one. If you are in the middle of a NEXT program -- say you've made eleven or twelve payments -- you do not actually legally own the phone yet. AT&T in its NEXT program has things set up so that the individual who signs the contract with them is pledging to either pay the phone off in full or to trade in the phone after twelve payments TO AT&T when a new model comes along. I see what you're asking but in the past if I recall correctly it was not possible to trade the phone in at Apple and get credit for it. They were not able to handle AT&T NEXT trade-ins; those have to be done at and through AT&T. Apple could only start a new NEXT program for someone wanting to purchase a new iPhone at an Apple store. Of course things may hav changed now and hopefully there will be more clarification about this issue before it is time to preorder or to go to the store, get in line and purchase on Launch Day.
