BlackBerry offers up to $550 if you ditch your iPhone for a Passport

If the industry based its grades solely on effort, there's no doubt BlackBerry would be among the first top spots. Now, whether or not those efforts are actually effective, well, that's a completely different story. Since its notable decline, the Canadian company's had to get creative to try and bring back customers it lost, namely to other competitors in the mobile space like Google and Apple. With that in mind, BlackBerry has a introduced the Trade-Up Program, which it intends to use to convince iPhone users to trade in their device for its flagship smartphone, the Passport.

In exchange, iPhone 4S, 5c, 5s and 6 owners can get up to $550, with proof of purchase of a BlackBerry Passport -- if qualified, payments will then be made via Visa Prepaid Card. The offer, which is only available in the US and Canada, runs December 1st to February 13th of next year, and it's a solid option for those interested in that trademark physical keyboard and the square-shaped display. Best Buy, for instance, pays about $460 for an iPhone 6 with 128GB of storage.
