“This weekend, Best Buy will offer 50 percent off Apple’s iPhone 5, a Labor Day trade-in offer arriving as Apple is expected to announce its own trade-in program in the company’s retail stores,” Kevin Bostic reports for AppleInsider.

“From Friday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 2, Best Buy customers bringing in a working iPhone 4 or 4S can get a 16-gigabyte or 32-gigabyte iPhone 5 for at least half off of its regular price. The deal is contingent upon the activation of a two-year contract,” Bostic reports. “Customers opting for the 16-gigabyte iPhone 5 will receive at least a $100 trade-in credit toward the purchase, knocking the on-contract cost down to $100 for an AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon model. Those opting for the 32-gigabyte model will receive at least a $150 credit, knocking the on-contract cost to $150. “
