Apple hopes that the program will encourage users to upgrade their phones, rather than simply repair the screen. The going rates for a trade-in, sources told 9To5Mac, are "$50 for a 5s, $200 for a 6, and $250 for a 6 Plus." Trade-ins aren't completely new for the company, as only undamaged iPhones were previously allowed.Screen protector installation will also come to Apple stores. The company has been hesitant to let employees install screen protectors on its phones, "given the possibility of the installation of a third-party product not going smoothly." Apple's partnership with Belkin—a screen protector manufacturer—seems to have quelled those fears. If something does go wrong, Apple will replace the protector and an employee will try again.Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 in September , and rumor has it that the company has designed the rear camera to sit flush with the back of the phone. It's also been reported Apple has removed the antenna bands from the back, to give the phone a more consistent, all-metal look.
