Apple might be looking to encourage Android users to trade-in for an iPhone soon

It's rumoured that Apple will be looking to encourage non-Apple smartphone owners to switch to an iPhone soon.

9to5Mac reports that sources are saying that the trade-in programme available in Apple Stores will soon cater to Android and Blackberry phones.

It would mean you could swap out for non-Apple phone for a gift voucher to be spent on an iPhone.

The value of the gift voucher will reportedly depend on the state of the phone you trade in.

Previously, this trade-in offer was only available to those with Apple products.

It's also said that Apple employees will help those trading in their Android of Blackberry phones to transfer their contacts to their new iPhone.
