iPhone-6-review-2

We heard a couple of weeks back that Apple may expand its iPhone trade-in program to cover devices from other manufacturers. Previously the company only allowed customers to trade-in their old iPhone for a new one. The program now accepts Android devices as well so jumping on to Apple’s ship has never been easier.

It’s not just Android OEMs that need to fear this trade-in program. Apple will also be accepting BlackBerry and Windows smartphones from customers to want to trade them in for an iPhone. The new iPhone trade-in program has gone in effect today at the company’s retail stores in the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Germany and Italy.

The process is quite simple. Take the device to your local Apple Store. There an employee will check the device and give a quote. If the customer accepts that quote they can hand in their device for store credit that can only be used to purchase a new iPhone.

Those who are looking to get a good value for their used Android, BlackBerry or Windows smartphone are probably going to get a better value on eBay or Craigslist. Then again it’s the convenience of just walking into the store, handing in your old device and walking out with a brand new iPhone that’s likely to attract most customers.
