Get up to $550 when you trade in your iPhone for a BlackBerry Passport
BlackBerry has just launched a trade-in program aimed at luring iPhone users to switch to its new passport-inspired flagship smartphone, the BlackBerry Passport.
The BlackBerry Passport Trade-Up program, as the Canadian smartphone maker and BBM developer calls it, encourages users to “upgrade” from Apple’s iPhone to a BlackBerry Passport by offering an incentive of up to US$550 or C$600. A qualifying iPhone model can be traded in for a BlackBerry Passport with up to US$400 or C$400 for the iPhone’s value plus an additional US$150 or C$200 worth of Visa Prepaid Card credits from BlackBerry.
Qualifying models include the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5c, the iPhone 5s, and even the two-month old iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Of course, each unit’s valuation depends on its condition as well as its model.

In addition to its trade-in program, BlackBerry has begun offering limited-time holiday discounts on the BlackBerry Passport and the BlackBerry Z30 on its online store.
