Gazelle, a service of Second Rotation, Inc., which provides a way for consumers to get cash for their old electronics, has launched this new iOS app that lets you sell your iPhone from your iPhone, to get a better deal on the forthcoming updated model.

Although no one really knows when Apple plans to launch its next iPhone (let alone what the device is all about), pretty much everyone tracking Apple in the news know that the fruity company in Cupertino, California is about to make a move soon.

Gazelle thinks so too. They’re now promoting their Gadget Trader app to those who already own an iPhone and plan to upgrade, enticing them to sell their current device in order to reduce the costs on the new one.

The app calculates in a matter of seconds how much your iPhone is worth, and it will even detect what iPhone you’re using in order to facilitate an even quicker trade-in.

As soon as they get an estimate front the app, customers can ship their phone to Gazelle for free and wait to get paid. The full details are available on the company’s site, here.

“Gazelle expects a record number of iPhone trades as AT&T and Verizon customers alike look to upgrade to the anticipated new model,” the company said.

"The app makes it easy for you to trade in your phone anytime, anywhere, making it simpler than ever to offset the purchase of a new iPhone," said Israel Ganot, co-founder and CEO of Gazelle.

"This app is part of our effort to roll out the red carpet for the millions of iPhone owners looking to upgrade. We want you to know that if you have a used iPhone, we're committed to giving you an easy, fast, and trusted service," added Ganot.
