"Apple will launch its iPhone recycling and trade-in scheme in the US this week, according to a report. 9to5mac claims that the initiative will be trialled at selected Apple Stores in North America from August 30 before rolling out across the country.  The report states that iPhone 3G models and up will be eligible for trade-in, with their value determined by the condition of the device. Old handsets will be shipped off to buy-back and trade-in specialist Brightstar for recycling, and there will also be a recycling programme for damaged or broken iPhones that are unsellable. Apple was expected to announce the trade-ins initiative alongside its iPhone 5S on September 10. It is unclear whether the scheme will launch in overseas territories such as the UK. &amp;gt; iPhone 5S: Everything you need to know Watch the iPhone 5S undergo scratch testing below:      We love technology at Digital Spy, but we want to know all about your favourite gadgets.
