Looks
like Apple wants to further boost the sales of its record-breaking
iPhone 6 models. This time around, the company CEO Tim Cook seems to
have introduced schemes that would lure Android users to switch to the
iPhone.
According
to a report by 9To5Mac, Apple plans to bring recycling and trade-in
program for non-Apple smartphones like Android and BlackBerry, in
exchange for gift cards that can be used to purchase the new iPhones. In
its bid for Android switchers, it will use the same method it uses for
repurchase of iPhone wherein Apple Retail employees will look for the
trade-in value deepening upon the condition of the device to be
exchanged.
The
report adds that the new program will start in the coming weeks and
Apple plans to train its employees later this week. Apple employees will
reportedly help customers transfer their contacts from the devices onto
an iPhone, but other data will have to be transferred by them.
Apple
had first announced its iPhone Reuse and Recycle trade-in program for
the iPhone 5, 5c and 5s, encouraging users to switch from their older
iPhones.
It
should be noted that at the earnings call earlier this year, Tim Cook
spoke about Apple’s most stellar quarter wherein the company sold 74.5
million devices and also how the new iPhone 6 models are responsible for
bringing the highest Android switcher rate in the last three years.
