You can apply the trade-in price toward one of the new iPhones or another item, though you can score more money using the retailer's online trade-in program. September 13, 2013 9:15 AM PDT (Credit: CNET) iPhone 5 owners looking to trade in their phone can get up to $200 from Target, or more if they hop online. The retailer announced today that the current trade-in promotion applies to older iPhones as well. An iPhone 4S trade-in could net you $125, while the iPhone 4 could score you $75. The actual trade-in price naturally depends on the phone's condition and storage capacity. The money comes as store credit that consumers can use to buy one of the new iPhone models or almost any product at a local Target store or on Target's Web site. Customers who own a Target REDcard can also trim 5 percent off the cost of a new iPhone or other smartphone. However, traders can score better deals either by going online or going elsewhere. Target works with NextWorth on its trade-in program. Directly using NextWorth or Target's online electronics trade-in program typically earns you more money. For example, a 16GB iPhone 5 in working condition is worth at least $300 via NextWorth. Walmart is also offering up to $300 in the form of store credit for a working iPhone 5. As always, people who want to trade in or sell their iPhone or other smartphone should shop around. Like other retailers, Target today launched pre-orders of the iPhone 5C and will sell the 5C and 5S both online and offline starting September 20.
