Re: [apple-iphone] upgrading iphone 4/att next

 

To me it sounds like an auto lease plan. At contract end, you turn in the phone, if you want another phone, you pay for the lease during the new contract term. And like a auto lease, you may have the option to buy the car at the end of the contract. 

Why does this not seem "financially workable for ATT"? It has worked well for the auto dealers for decades.

Do you mean that next year you get a new phone with no purchase cost or down payment, and the same monthly charge as you are paying now, when you brought your own phone to the agreement? That does not sound financially workable for ATT.
