Apple has reportedly started to train its US retail employees ahead of the introduction of the iPhone trade-in program
According to sources that have spoken to MacRumours, Apple has begun training its retail employees for the iPhone trade-in program first rumoured back in June.
The trade-in program, reported by Bloomberg, stated that Apple had teamed up with Brightstar to begin accepting trade-ins of the current iPhone handsets for newer models.
MacRumours has stated, "Apple has reportedly sent materials to its stores to support the initiative, while the first line of store trainers will be receiving instruction about the program today."
It is rumoured that these trainers will then train the other employees next week ahead of a program launch.
Old iPhones that has been traded in would then be refurbished and sold in emerging markets.
The news come just weeks before Apple's September 10th iPhone media event.
Rumours have circulated so far around the official unveiling of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
An analyst has predicted the iPhone 5S to feature a new A7 system-on-a-chip design with 1GB RAM, suuply a 128GB handset option, and have embedded fingerprint scanner technology in the home button.
The iPhone 5C is said to mirror the current iPhone 5 but with a plastic casing and a budget price.
