do you think apple will let existing iphone users upgrade to the next model for a small fee? not doing this will leave many existing owners angry because they spent 400 or 500 for a phone that is outdated within a year. apple better do this. does anyone have any experience with apples upgrading policies?
Got a tip for us?

Not in a million years.
EDIT: They don't even do upgrade pricing for iWork and iLife, so there is no way they might do it for hardware.

Sure. He'll reduce the price to $400-500 just 'cause Steve likes you so much.
You don't have much experience with Apple, do you?

Or any "for profit" company for that matter.
i do have a lot of experiance with apple and they do have upgrades on their software logic,and final cut. apple just wouldnt do that to over 5 million customers. Remember when apple lowered the price, their was 1 million users and people went crazy. Now imagine if they completely upgraded it. I guarantee that it will be 200 - 300 to upgrade and probably 400- 500 to by it new. probably make you extend your contract with at&t though
Only if you turned in your old iPhone. They wouldn't make any money off of the 200-300 to upgrade. Still i don't see it happening.
That's because they lowered their price only a couple of months after the initial release.
If you're somehow trying to imply that this is the same as Apple updating the product after a YEAR on the market, I think you're in for a rude awakening.
C'mon, even those of us that bought the iPhone the first week it was available knew that there was most likely a 3G model not too far down the road. But, we bought it anyway. Enjoy what you have, upgrade if you feel the need, sell the leftovers on Ebay or Craigslist. Think I'm going to hold out for the 2009 model, you know, the 3G one with built-in GPS with 64GB.
This is such a whiny ass argument. You bought what you bought and if the price goes down or it changes, your under no obligation to get a free upgrade. I cant imagine why anyone would think otherwise. If you buy a car and they come out with a better one, you do insist on getting a new car because it has been upgraded? People just need to quit their bitching.
Of course you can upgrade to the new version for a fee: only $499. Is that so hard to figure out?
LOL thanks for the good laugh, you dont know apple or tech standards very well do you?
Of course I would like to do this but I don't see it happening.
I wouldn't mind paying full price for a 3G iPhone but it has to have at least be 32GB or I will pass. EDGE +Wifi are enough for me but I would like to have more storage so I could stop carrying my iPod.

I like how people complain about the storage space on a phone. Its a phone people, love it for what it is.
