Radio Shack looks to attract iPhone 6 buyers with free $50 iTunes gift cards

Apple itself and authorized resellers are competiting for your iPhone 6 purchase next week. This battle has spurred some retailers to sweeten the pot with trade-in offers. We’ve already seen Verizon Wireless up the ante with its offer that allows iPhone 4 owners to trade up to an iPhone 6 for free.

Now, Radio Shack is the first retailer to offer a non-trade special on Apple’s all-new line of flagship smartphones…

Any iPhone purchased through September 27th will bring a free $50 iTunes gift card in tow. That’s a perfect opportunity to load your new iPhone up with apps, music, movies and any other media sold through Apple’s digital marketplaces.

You can place a preorder at Radio Shack stores beginning Friday September 12th. Just like many other retailers, Radio Shack will buy-back your old iPhones. You can expect to get between $100 and $300 for a working iPhone 5. As always, we recommend consulting our iPhone 6 trade-in guide before making any purchase decisions to be sure you’re getting the best value for your old iPhone.
