Apple iPhone Trade-In Will Pay Up You Up To $280 For Your Old Phone

The new iPhone is likely just weeks away, and Apple is making it easier than ever for you to get one.

iPhone users can now begin trading in their old phones for a credit toward a new iPhone 5S, Apple announced Friday according to the Wall Street Journal. Apple will give buyers up to $280 for an old phone, the Journal reports. The AP is reporting that Apple will pay up to $350 for an iPhone 5 in perfect condition.

The price will be determined "based on screen quality, overall hardware quality, button quality" and whether or not the phone has any liquid damage, according to 9to5 Mac.

While the trade-in begins Friday, Apple employees told 9to5Mac that a you'll need to purchase a new 5S in order to get the refund. Your old phone must also be currently activated and within a cell phone contract.

Even before iPhone 5C launch, its Chinese clone Goophone 5C announced

When the iPhone 5 arrived in September last year, Chinese clones also hit the market at almost the same time. It seems to be a repeat of the same story with the rumoured iPhone 5C.

GooPhone that had made news with the iPhone 5 clone is now all set with its iPhone 5C copy called the Goophone 5C. They had launched a Goophone 5S variant back in March this year.

To be available from September, the Android Goophone 5C (also mentioned as Goophone i5C at some places) is priced at $99 and comes with a 4-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor along with 1GB RAM, 4GB storage and an 8 megapixel rear camera.

"Apple's lax security over the past few years hasn't done them any favours," observes the post on gizchina.com reporting the clone.

With Goophone as the brand name, it is unlikely that the company would find acceptance in the market.

Paragon: DreamBoard Theme brings Windows Phone 8 UI to your iPhone

If you like the look and feel of Windows Phone 8 or you just want to get a feel for the interface on your iOS device then you may want to try out Paragon.

Paragon is a new DreamBoard theme, so you will have to download and install DreamBoard from Cydia for this theme to work.  Developed by EndFinity, Paragon gives you a completely transforms iOS’ user interface on the Lock and Home screen.

Starting with the lock screen, you get a completely different and sleek look.  At the bottom there are your unread messages (texts, emails).  Instead of sliding to the right to unlock, you just slide up.  If you don’t slide it all the way up and let go, you get a nice bouncing animation as the lock screen stays in the foreground. (Check the video for a demonstration).

On the Home screen you get the tiled look that Windows 8 is famous for.  There are 3 tiles are are “active” tiles which are the “People”, “Games”, and “Music” tiles. These animate within themselves and brings your springboard a little more life to an otherwise stagnant UI.  The People tile will rotate pictures of your contacts if you have them set. You have the ability to move and change the size of the tiles to a small square, large square, or a large rectangle. This gives you some room for creativity when designing your own custom Home screen.  Just put the tile in wiggle mode like you would do in iOS and an arrow will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the tile, tap it for your desired shape.

If you want to remove a tile, just put it in wiggle mode and tap the pin icon in the top right of tile.  To add a tile to the Home screen, swipe over to your spotlight (swipe to the left) and just tap and hold on an app and it will give you an option to “pin to start”.   Then you can change the size/shape and move it to your desired location.

By pressing the volume rocker, you get a banner at the top that gives allows you to control your music as well as your ringing preference and of course the volume level.  Banners are also themed to match the red tiles as you can see in the picture below.

High Paying Adsense CPC Keyword List 2013

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is and always has been the highest paying keyword.There has been no competition for this keyword in terms of cost per click.

In a good quality website with loads of credible information on mesothelioma, you can expect to get a 100-120$ per click on an Adsense ad for this keyword.

Competition for this keyword is intense as most bloggers want to make a quick buck from this, so there are a lot of spammers in this micro-niche.

Attorney

Attorney services also end up having very high earnings for each click on an Adsense ad. You can expect to get around 80-100$ for a successful click that has not been counted as invalid.

This micro-niche too is very populated but delivers some of the highest paying Adsense keywords.

Donate A Car

For some reason, car donation seems to be very important to some advertisers, I have seen people talking about getting $50+ for each click on this micro-niche topic of Adsense.

Insurance Sales

This is one of the most populated micro-niche out there.

Before the CPC of Adsense ads for this niche were very high, competing with mesothelioma, but due to over-spamming and a whole host of made for Adsense sites that sprung up trying to make a quick buck from this niche, the advertisers have dropped their CPC bids.

Still, Insurance is a top paying Adsense keyword in 2013.

Medical Lawyers

Like insurance, medical lawyers and many other keywords related to lawyer hiring services will give $30+ per click on quality websites.

So these are a few highest paying Adsense keywords that I know about, if you know some other keyword phrases that pay as much as these, please let me know in the comments section.
