    I have trouble imagine Microsoft selling those used iPhones on the market. That'd simply add to Apple's marketshare. Now might be a good time to start checking the dumpsters behind Microsoft's stores.

    Why would anyone want to downgrade to a windows tablet or windows phone device?

    Shouldn't that be a maximum credit? It's not as if Apple will be able to resell them to anyone.

    They should extend the buy-back program to companies. Blackberry and Dell could have traded themselves in.

    Apple will charge a nominal fee to pay the landfills to take the Surfaces.

    If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em and reverse engineer 'em.

    You won't find them. The employees will have them. lol 

     


    Microsoft needs to compete against Android and Black Berry. It's sad that Microsoft thinks their Surface tablets and phones can take on Apple's iDevices. Thats like taking a mountain down with a shovel. Good Luck

    Yes, i'm sure this will be popular. ;)

     

    Bet MS got another failure on their hands with this & the iPad trade in. <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    Or they'll give them away for people to stand in line for store openings and product launches. Might be cheaper than using concert tickets.

    MS is desperate. LOL. I own Window's PC's and Microsoft products and even I can see this is a useless endeavor. Apple and Android won, Microsoft and Blackberry lost. Next market.

    Real desperation of the underdog of the current century. Microsoft is now running after Apple because they can't copy past thing they did earlier so what to do snatch older model of IPad and iPhone and then re-sell it Surface iPad after the Surface Hole.
