I know I'm not a newb, but in a way I am.

This is probably the first time in ages that I may be preordering. I'm looking for advise in how best to proceed.
I'll be buying/ordering 4 iPhones and I'm a verizon customer.

I currently have 2 iPhone 12 Pros and 2 phone 12s. The non-pro models have smashed front and back glass, so they're virtually worthless. What I normally do is pop into my VZW store in November, trade in my set of phones and get a new set. I get a trade in amount that helps offset the price of the new phones that I'll slowly payoff.

How do I pre-order if I want to trade in my phones? Should I do it from apple.com or VZW?

Btw, I'm not interested in selling my phones through a third party, either by gazelle, craigslist or ebay. While I understand I'll get more money, even for the busted phones its simply not worth the hassle for me. I've sold phones and computers in the past and its always been a pain in the behind.

I’d do it through Apple.com or the app. They will ask the condition of your turn in phone(s) as part of the preorder process. They already know your carrier. I just did it.

Awesome thanks
