Apple Inc (NASDAQ AAPL) is trying to capture the global market with the iPhone 6. The unveiling is surely just days away at an event scheduled for Sept. 9. At this point, many iPhone owners are trying to sell their iPhone 5S, 5 and 5C at good prices to grab the latest device when it arrives. An article from the LA Times lists various options users have to dispose of their iPhones.

Apple iPhone 5, 5S and 5C users looking to sell their devices to upgrade to iPhone 6 when it arrives this month, has many options to explore. Apple runs its own device recycling program, and iPhone users can earn as much as $225 in a gift card on devices that are in good condition, according to a price quote on Tuesday.

Thereafter, a gift card will be sent to the customer via email.

Apple Inc (NASDAQ AAPL): Sell Your Old iPhones

eBay and Craigslist are always at the service of those wanting to sell second-hand items, but those not very comfortable with the idea of dealing with strangers and who would rather go for an automated system can resort to various websites. These websites accept all kind of phones, but if the iPhone 5, 5S or 5C is in good condition, then users can earn enough bucks to cover the maximum price of an iPhone 6.

Users looking to sell their Apple iPhone 5c and 5s can also opt for Glyde, a site where iPhone owners can get around $237.72 for AT&T and Verizon devices with a “few scratches.” The website also hands out $165.04 for the old blue 16-GB Sprint model. The 16GB AT&T iPhone 5S can be sold for $295.68, and the Verizon model goes for $327.88. One disadvantage of Glyde is that there is no surety of the phone getting sold, as other users on the website buy the phone rather than Glyde itself.
