Apple has a program that allows you to buy a new iPhone model and get some money back if you actually give them the old phone that you are replacing.
I was always under the assumption that apple actually recycles them because they want them in good condition, but maybe not? I also wonder if this is a program whose cost is factored in the final price of every iPhone (and therefore a cost that is distributed across the entire customer base), regardless if they are returning their old phones or not.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoWhen you send that phone back, it’s going to get cleaned up and sold in Asia or Latin America. I was at an open air mall in Borneo (Kutching) and saw all manner of new/used iPhones in official-ish Apple packaging.
