iPhone 3G is the most recycled mobile phone in the UK

MobileMagpie.co.uk, the mobile phone recycling price comparison site, reports that the Apple iPhone 3G, Apple’s second-generation handset, is currently the most popular phone to be recycled in the UK.

Buyers of the new iPhone 4 owners are trading in their old iPhone 3G models following the recent launch of the latest handset in the Apple series, and are getting up to £170 in exchange for their unwanted iPhone 3G.

iPhone 3G 16GB owners are being offered up to £173 for their old hansets through MobileMagpie.co.uk, but MobileMagpie.co.uk is warning iPhone 3G owners to be wary of which mobile phone recycling site they choose, as prices offered differ vastly between recyclers.

For example, the popular iPhone 3G 16GB model attracts prices of between £137 and £173 from mobile phone recycling websites, meaning mobile phone owners could lose out on up to £36.

The iPhone 3G 8GB model attracts prices ranging from £109 to £148 at MobileMagpie.co.uk, allowing owners of old handsets to make up to an additional £39 depending on which recycler they choose.

And if early adopters of the iPhone 4 wish to cash in their phones due to the recent high profile technical issues, MobileMagpie.co.uk is currently showing prices of up to £409 for the 16GB handset, and up to £468 for the 32GB handset, according to the live price information on MobileMagpie.co.uk.
