According to popular mobile recycling site, Mobile Phone Xchange many more mobile handsets have been sent in for recycling in recent weeks due to the release of the iPhone 4.

Despite the broken antenna and despite the bad publicity that Apple has had many people in the UK and around the world are still splashing out hundreds of pounds for the iPhone 4. In its third day of sales the new iPhone had sold an impressive 1.7 million units.

In the past mobile phone contracts were only 1 year or 18 months, now many people hold mobile contracts that are as long as 2 years. Instead of keeping the same handset that they are originally given for such a long time many people are using their own initiative and trading in their phones for cash so they can go out and but the latest model, in this case many are going for the new iPhone 4.
