Apple has revealed that its iPhone trade-in program launches nationwide today, according to a tweet from CNBC.

BREAKING: Apple tells @jonfortt that $AAPL's trade-in program to roll out nationwide today; customer must leave store with new contract.

To coincide with the news 9to5Mac has leaked a slide from the employee training material that provides an overview of the 'iPhone Reuse and Recycling Program'.

The iPhone Reuse and Recycling Program offers customers an affordable way to upgrade to a new iPhone by getting a store credit based on the value of their current, working iPhone. The offer applies to both consumer and business customers who choose to activate a new iPhone. It also allows customers with non-working iPhones to recycle their phones in an environmentally responsible way.

Trade-in values for a 16GB iPhone 5 are expected to be around $250. As CNBC notes, customers must purchase a new device on contract to qualify for the program.

So what happens to the other half of your 2 year AppleCare plan when you trade it in? Does this only apply to people who are at the end of their contract and not the early upgraders?

Applecare gives partial credit so you can "cancel" and get a credit back for the time remaining.

Coincidentally I started my own trade-in service. I will also give you $250 for an iPhone 5 as well AND you won't have to sign any contracts.
