Posted by: Brad Roderick
The majority of us try to stay up to date on the current trends, as hard as that may be. When Apple launched the iPhone 4 people scrambled to get the hottest phone on the market.

Launch of iPhone 4 Causes Surge in iPod Recycling
Prospective iPhone 4 customers are literally flogging their old Apple gadgets in order to get enough money to splurge on the hottest smartphone in town with the iPod being one of the most popular to go through the trap.
Online recycler Mopay.co.uk reports that the number of iPod devices being recycled through the site went up by nearly 70 per cent since the launch of the new iPhone 4G last month.
Simon Walsh, the co-founder of Mopay, said that “As technology improves people are naturally going to want the latest gadget. For Apple fans it’s imperative they have the most up to date version of any new model. The iPhone can do everything that an iPod can and more. Even though the Walkman managed around 15 years as the music player of choice, it looks like the iPod will follow the path of the mini disc player and soon become surplus to requirements.”
The news come a day after mobile phone recycling price comparison website, sell my phone, reported that old versions of the iPhone were amongst the most popular devices being recycled across the country.
