Apple, in an attempt to boost sales of its iPhone 5c and iPhone 4S smartphones, is introducing a buyback scheme for the Indian market starting Saturday. The latest scheme will offer a minimum exchange price of Rs. 13,000 for an old smartphone.

The news comes from a Twitter user named Manish Khatri, who is a retailer in Mumbai, and NDTV Gadgets has been able to verify this scheme from another source. Khatri writes on Twitter, "Buyback on iPhone 5c and iPhone 4S 8GB LIVE FROM TOMORROW (get minimum 13000 on selected models) *condition apply."
