“If reports are true, Apple is days away from announcing its next-generation iPhone, the long-awaited follow-up to its fast-selling iPhone 4S,” Matt Brian reports for TNW. “If you’re already shuddering at the thought of paying out for the new device, Apple can help you offset the cost by offering you up to $345/£300 for your device, depending on its condition.”
“Using Apple’s Reuse and Recycle program, you are able to select the model, color and condition of your iPhone 4S (and other Apple devices) from the online wizard, which will then output a price that it believes your device is worth,” Brian reports. “If you agree and are able to send the power cable along with it, Apple will then send you a gift certificate, which can be redeemed against a new purchase on its online store.”
Brian reports, “As you’d expect, pricing differs depending on whether the iPhone has been subjected to scratches or is suffering from water damage.”

has anyone done it? i’m nervous because once you send it in they can give any value they want
Go to gazelle.com. They’ll send you a check for real money. They also tell you online what the value of your phone is, and they hold that price for 30 days so it’s a pretty good deal.
Perhaps you missed the part about it being a rumour.
The part which is rumor is the new iPhone announcement and date. The recycling program is real. The link-bait aspect is the price in the headline is for a pristine 64GB model. My 16GB model with one ding is significantly less 😉
please, new iphone is coming this month. no one is dumb enough to pay $199 at this point for last year’s tech
And you have this directly from Apple? There are many sales of new iPhone 4S every hour right now. Can you back up what you say?
You’re kidding, right?
People are spending 100+ for the 3GS, 200+ for the 4, and 350+ for the 4S… Just go to eBay and look for yourself.
straight talk is $45 a month everything unlimited. that’s why people buy phones on ebay.
I sold my iPhone 4 last week for $400 on ebay.
Darn, there’s no Galaxy S3’s on their store. Heh.
Att and others are trading in iPhones
I’m thinking of replacing my 4s with a galaxy note
Masochist…
The Apple site has no consideration for an unlocked iPhone, which costs $$$ at retail. No way I’m selling my unlocked iPhone at the same price as a locked unit.
