Of course I could be wrong again; but, I know I am able to pay
off my next plan at any time, and then I'm thinking AT&T would
have to unlock the phone since I would have then paid full price.
Not quite the same as buying outright on launch day from the
Apple Store, but I guess as close as I can get.

Subject: RE: the 16 or the 64G?
As somebody pointed out, most companies are trying to get the
last buck out
of you they can. If you really do the math something like AT&T
Next wil
definitely cost you more money. You are basically leasing the
phone and a
lease will always be more expensive than buying something
outright. I
understand how people who opt for this choice are probably
justifying it by
saying "It might be a bit more, but not so much" and :"I have
more options",
but I think part of it is that companies make it pretty confusing
so most
people don't bother sitting down and really crunching the
numbers. It just
sounds good and it's like "Oh well, what's another $30 a month"
if I don't
have to make a $200 downpayment".
The fact is that AT&T or whichever other company still basically
owns your
phone for the duration and has you by the short hairs.
Unfortunately, in the US you can't even buy an iPhone from the
Apple Store
outright and unlocked on launch day as you can here in Canada,
most European
countries and Australia, New Zealand and so on. I guess the
large carriers
have too big of a lobby to allow that.
I am with an MVNO owned by Telus which is one of the large
carriers in
Canada. I get fantastic coverage throughout the country and pay
$50 Canadian
a months. Of course I did pay about $1,000 for my iPhone 5S 64
Gb last year,
but any other carrier where subsidies are offered would charge me
about $30
a months more. That means over even just a one year period I
would pay about
$360 more, then if I add the $429 or whatever the Canadian price
is for
getting a 64 Gb phone on contract I am already at $800. I could
probably get
between $400 and $500 if I sold my unlocked 5S 64 Gb now so even
if I did
want to buy an iPhone 6 I would probably be better off by $200 to
$300.

I've been debating between the AT&T Next or just getting a
two-year
contract. I think it pretty much equals out when all things are
considered.

There is no initial payment at all.
In the past when upgrading, I have had to pay an activation fee

I had to pay the taxes on the phone, which I did with my trade-in

That was it.

Subject: RE: the 16 or the 64G?
OK, so I guess that just means you pay for the phone in one year
with
additional payments instead of having a regular 2-year contract
without
additional payments after which time the phone is also yours.
Do you then not pay $199, $299 or whatever the initial payment
is at all?

With the next plan from AT&T, you don't have to keep getting a
new phone.
Once you have paid for your phone, your bill goes back to
normal. That is
what I was told anyway, and is the reason I went with that plan
for this
phone.
Take care,

Plans like AT&T Next and whatever they are called from other
carriers are
rip-offs and they are simply designed to lock people in to
getting a new
phone every year and, of course, paying the premium price for
it.

I think it used to be $199, $299, and $399 on contract in the
states for
the
3 storage options. That $50 a month plan with Sprint looks
worth jumping
back in and getting the 64 gig iPhone 6. The big question is
whether to do
easy pay, or to do their rental thing for iPhone for Life.

I think its an overall trend with smartphones. There are lots
of
success Androy phone model, no longer give you te option of
32gb. They
either give you the 16gb or 64gb (discount Samsung).
As far as why it is the case, i'm not sure. I thought it will
make
more sense for apple to have 32gb, 64gb and 128gb. But who
knows what
behind the brain of it. Maybe, we Apple might want to retain
the 32gb
soully for iPads.

Hi,
One thing that nobody has mentioned so far is that in the UK at
least,
the price for the 64GB 6 is the same as the 32GB 5S when it was
released. I was a bit annoyed about having to go for the 64GB 6
at
first, but when I found out that its price was inline with the
previous 32GB price it didn't seem as bad. Personally I'd
rather Apple
introduced a cheaper 32GB model instead of simply dropping that
capacity, but with the 6 pricing, your actually getting more
storage
for your money than you were before.
Cheers,
Ben.

Please get the 64gb! 16 is just too small! I could kick myself
for not
saving up for the 64 gig model. So when I get my 6 plus, it'll
be at

64GB. YMMV.

I'm convinced that I should upgrade my IPhone 4S to the 6 but
should I
go
with the 16 or 64G? I've always had 16G in the past & haven't
had any
problems at all, but going forward I'm not sure what is best.
I look forward to hearing from you.
