Apple’s latest move is sure to heat up the iPhone vs. Android battle.

Apple will soon introduce a smartphone trade-in program for non-Apple phones in an effort to convince Android or BlackBerry users to switch to iPhones, 9to5Mac reported Monday. Like Apple’s iPhone Reuse program launched in 2013, the new trade-in deal offers iPhone gift cards based on the condition of the phone as judged by Apple Store employees.

The trade-in program for non-Apple phones is a first for Apple but other companies like Gazelle and Amazon have offered cash-for-phones deals in the past.
