Apple devices have always been conspicuously absent from GameStop’s wares, even as competing electronics trade-in services dealt with the likes of iPods, iPads and iPhones. That’s reportedly about to change, with GameStop already accepting trade-ins of the istuff leading up to the rumored October release of the iPhone 5.

“Numerous” anonymous sources tell 9to5Mac that the plan was announced to developers at a trade show last week.

The post also notes rumors that the next iPhone will work on Sprint and T-Mobile networks, as well as those of AT&T and Verizon.
