Apple officially accepts non-Apple device trade-ins

Rumours have surfaced a few weeks back that Apple will be accepting non-Apple devices (Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry) to trade for new iPhones. Now, it would seem the initiative is finally official. Working with Brightstar, the ones who run the existing iOS trade-in program, Apple Stores in Canada, US, UK, Germany, France, and Italy are now accepting the non-Apple smartphones.

When you trade in your smartphone, you'll be getting some sort of store credit for an iPhone. Unfortunately, the trade-in doesn't seem to extend to other Apple gadgets, like the Apple Watch and iPad. It's simply a phone-for-phone kind of deal. But it seems to be rolling out slower than expected. At the moment, not all the stores yet know that the trade-in program extends to non-Apple gadgets.
