Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"There's probably a few of you that want the new iPhone 4S when it arrives in stores in two weeks."

Besides selling on eBay, you can also try Nextworth (as we pointed out here earlier this week) but you won't get the $250 dollar promo price. My iPhone 4 priced out at $215.00 USD so still not a bad return. However, I can go over to Gazelle and get between $201.00 to $249.00 USD for it. If these don't appeal to you, you can always go direct to Apple. They have a page for returns where they will also give you Apple Store Credit for your used iPhone. On my particular iPhone 4 (32GB black) I was able to get a $200.00 USD store credit. So you have many options, at least for now, if you want to get cash for your old iPhone 4. I'd be curious to know the results if any of you actually use any of these services, let us know your thoughts!

"Radio Shack is extending its iPhone sale until Friday December 31st, thanks to a number of store sellouts. The retailer is offering up the 16GB iPhone 4 for $148.99 through the end of the year. The 8GB version of its predecessor, the iPhone 3Gs, is priced at $48.99. Both models are marked down $51 from their suggested retail price."

Refurbished iPhones are also being discounted, the 16GB iPhone 4 can be purchased for $124.00 USD and the 32GB version of the iPhone 4 can be yours for $224.00 USD. Now all you have to do is find them in stock.

"Support for Apple's new AirPlay is supposedly excluded from the iPhone 3G, reports 9to5Mac. Designed to let users stream their iTunes library anywhere in their house via WiFi or an Ethernet connection, AirPlay technology will be found in all manner of audio/video equipment in the coming months, including the AirPort Express and Apple TV."

AirPlay support is part of the recent iTunes 10.1 update, but if you have a 3G you are out of luck apparently. As quickly as technology is changing, not too surprised they are bypassing the 3G, but it certainly won't make the owners happy. Sounds like another lawsuit.
