         As we all know Apple products are very pricey. An iPhone 4 can be priced at over $500, making it unaffordable to many consumers. Up until recently Apple stores did not offer the recycle program in Canada. However people can now trade in their iPhone for store credits up to $275. When you trade in your phones, the store reps will then determine what credit they will give you depending on quality then the phone is sent elsewhere to be refurbished. In some cases the phone will already be in good enough shape to sell.
       It was not until recently that Canada had this option. Although Canada has had Apple stores for sometime now. Which can mean Apple is seeing us as a large group of consumers and we will get the same benefits as USA. And of course it is always nicer to save money on higher end products. Many people choose to buy games at stores that offer trade in store credit because its a win win and now Apple can enjoy the benefits as well.

  1. Canada is behind the times when it comes to many issues with phone and phone lines. We used to be the superior ones and we even sold our old lines to underdeveloped countries, yet we are now in a low category for phone services. Not only are Apple Phones over-priced in Canada, so are phone services!!!! Can't wait for us[Canada] to get caught up!!!!
