When we buy an Apple device, the wisest is hold several years or, failing that, sell them to finance us our next acquisition. Another option is to sell it to the company of the Apple so it refurbishes them and sells them or deliver them to its recycled Manager. Until recently only we could give Apple devices like an iPhone (or other smartphone), iPad, computers (Mac and PC), iPod and other older devices, but now we can also deliver our “old” Apple Watch.
Personally, right now it seems crazy take advantage program Apple Renew delivering a Apple Watch, more than anything because that would be giving is a device that, like much, being used from April 2015. In addition, in contrast to what happens when we deliver an iPhone, iPad or an iMac, to send our Apple Watch so recycling it we will not receive a euro, I have to admit that I find it all a theft of white-collar, not to mention the impression that makes me believe that Apple will resell that “old” Apple Watch.
We already recycle our Apple Watch… in Exchange for €0
On the page of recycled products from Apple, of Cupertino, us linking third-party services that are responsible for recycling and send us a card gift. For products iOS uses Brightstar, while for computers usa PowerOn. Use a third option to recycle products without offering this card gift that is Sims Recycling Solutions, an option that also use for Apple Watch from last week, at least from the American website.
Personally, I think that it is important to Recycle electronics responsibly, but this does not mean that we have to do silly like get rid of a device that should work perfectly. The only way that would understand use the option that Tim Cook and company offer us is if we had had an accident that Apple Watch unusable, had left to not throw it away with all the polluting material that contains in its interior. In any case, we already know that in Cupertino already allow us to give them an original Apple Watch for recycling.
