The American Apple released on Friday (30) in the United States a program to encourage consumers to take older models of iPhones in their stores in exchange for a loan to buy a new model.
"Apple stores launch a new program to help customers who want to take their iPhones from previous versions to be recycled. Besides the positive impact to the environment, customers will receive in exchange for your old appliance for a loan to purchase a new iPhone , "the group explained in a statement.
According to the newspaper "The Wall Street Journal," phone owners in good condition may receive up to $ 280 of credit purchase. A spokesman for Apple, however, has not confirmed this information.
Apple tries thus to seize market old iPhones that are sold informally for hundreds of dollars on auction sites such as eBay.
While the iPhone remains the hen that lays golden eggs for Apple, its share in the global smartphone market declines against the competition of cheaper models that operate on the Android system, program Google and manufactured by different companies, with South Korean Samsung ahead.
