Early Upgrade Going to Be Offered for 3G'rs
From Apple Insider:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...iphone_3g.html I saw this hinted earlier on Twitter. If you check your account, you will see that an additional upgrade option has been added. Before, it was not clear that iPhone owners would be eligible for a subsidized update. Crystal clear now: yes, at the one year anniversary of activation of the old 3G phone.

this is what i got in a nutshell: they're offloading 3g's like crazy.
the article says nothing about future upgrades; it's ONLY for those people wanting to purchase a 3G and are not eligible for a subsidized upgrade yet.

It also has the same date as your other upgrade options, where is the "early"?
I don't think they are going to allow for an early upgrade for the 4G (for lack of a better name), they are going to take trade ins. |

I don't understand the confusion. My contract expires July 2010, two years from the date of my purchase of the 3G. Previously, AT&T was requiring that the full 2 years be completed before allowing an upgrade at a subsidized price. The second option is consistent with the article for letting existing iPhone customers get to upgrade in July 2009, 1 year before the contract expiration date.
Why should AT&T require a trade-in program to offset the unsubsidized price when I'll be eligible for the reduced price upgrade? Is no one else seeing the second upgrade option on their accounts? |
