Apple Launches iPhone and iPad Trade-In Program in Australia

According to the latest reports from people familiar with the matter, Apple has launched the iPhone and iPad trade-in program in Australia today. From now on, any Australian customer can change his old iPhone or iPad in working condition for a discount on a newer device.

As to the amount of money one can get for Apple's smartphone or tablet, it differs depending on the condition of the device. This means that if you have an iPhone with a broken screen and faulty battery, you won't get $200 for it.

Customers can receive a maximum of A$250 (or roughly $234 USD) for their iPhones, and A$215 ($202 USD) for iPad trade-ins. Newer devices like the iPhone 5s and 5c are not eligible, nor are first-gen models.

The trade-in program became available for US customers last year. Since that time, the guys from Cupertino have expanded their initiative to a number of other countries including France, Canada, Italy and Germany.

With time, Apple will launch its trade-in program in a number of other European and non-European countries. Stay tuned for more details on the topic.
