Retailers start exchange offer with iPhone 5C for existing iPhone 4 users in India

There is yet another buyback offer in India where iPhone 4 users can upgrade to the iPhone 5C. Under the offer, which has been spotted at Vijay Sales, users need to exchange their old iPhone 4 in working condition along with a charger and they can buy the iPhone 5C at Rs 29,900. Effectively, the retailer is giving a minimum of Rs 12,000 for your iPhone 4, considering the iPhone 5C is priced at Rs 41,900. We have reached out to Apple to find whether this is an Apple India approved offer or if it has been done by the retail chain on its own.

We believe this is a great offer for current iPhone 4 users, especially those who had bought it when the iPhone 4 was launched in 2010. The price of the iPhone 4 has eroded and considering it has been discontinued, this is a good value. Earlier this summer, Apple had launched its first buyback scheme where users could exchange their smartphones from rival brands and get Rs 7,000 off on the iPhone 4.
