Your device might not be available for credit if it is too old and has been added to Apple's doomed 'obsolete' list.
"Products are considered obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than seven years ago," the company writes on its
"Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, and service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products."
It means it can't be repaired, as Apple no longer has the parts.

iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best...
Typing cursor
– When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
Close all Safari tabs
– To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
Delete lots of photos quickly
– Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
Convert currency quickly
– Swipe down from the top of your Home screen, then tap in the bar and type a currency (like €200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
Check if you're due a battery upgrade
– Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you're down to 80% capacity. If you're below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
Move apps around faster
– Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
