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

You do not turn in your existing iphone. It is yours to keep. My 5s is now my wife's 5s. You are paying a monthly charge for the new iphone. On the 18 month plan you can trade in your phone after 12 payments and get the next great thing. Or, you can pay out the full 18 months and the phone is yours. If you trade in the phone after 12 months the last 6 monthly payments are waved and you start over again with your new phone. So, if you want to upgrade every 12 months you are renting the phone for 2/3 of the retail price. If you are willing to go the full 18 months you own the phone and you can start a new contract for the latest and greatest and do as you wish with the new phone.

The deal is if you are on the Next 18 plan you can trade in your phone for the new model after 12 months and pay whatever 1/18 x the retail price of the new phone is each month. In this case the remaining 6 months of payments for the first phone are waved. In essence you are renting the phone from AT&T. If you keep the phone and pay out the 18 payments you have payed for the phone and it is yours.

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.
