Want to change your smartphone for an iPhone? You have a few euros to recover from Apple. The American firm has just announced the extension of its program to take back phones to Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices.

Until then, only iPhone users could benefit from a discount on a new model by returning their mobile to Apple. According to Tim Cook, the arrival of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has already made it possible to recover more Android users than the three previous generations of iPhone. And these could increase further thanks to this unprecedented takeover operation.

The operation is active in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy. For now, it seems that this offer is only valid in Apple Store and not online.

A gift card to use in an Apple Store is given to consumers who hand over their mobile phone. The only unknown to date: the amount of this card. It will obviously depend on the model concerned. An old BlackBerry will not be valued as well as a Galaxy S5, for example. Nor should we expect heaps of gold. For reference, an iPhone 5 64 GB is currently exchanged for a hundred euros in the Apple Store.
