Re: Apple Renew / Trade-in Scheme Seems slow - Anyone else used it?

Apple isn’t the first company to offer trade-ins for old gear. Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Verizon all offer either store credit or cold hard cash for your retired gear. But with new iPhones just around the corner, it’s as good a time as any for the company to roll out an in-store trade-in program.

Here’s what Apple told Wired via email about the iPhone Reuse and Recycling Program:

“iPhones hold great value. So, Apple Retail Stores are launching a new program to assist customers who wish to bring in their previous-generation iPhone for reuse or recycling. In addition to helping support the environment, customers will be able to receive a credit for their returned phone that they can use toward the purchase of a new iPhone.”
