Which should I do I have three lines available for upgrade on AT&T next or should I do apple plan?

Which is more cheaper?

What the difference ?
 
Am I missing something, did they stop teaching math in school?

Take the monthly Next payment, multiply by 12 add in the full tax paid at the start and if you bought AppleCare + add that in. The total will be what you paid for the year. You can get refund for second year of AppleCare+ from Apple.

Now take the Apple monthly price, add in the full tax. When you use Apple program AppleCare+ is added monthly.

Compare the two totals, your question will be answered. Don't depend on someone else telling you what is cheaper, simply do the math yourself.......Dah.

Only other point to consider is when you go with Apple plan, the bank that gives the loan does a hard credit check, possibly reducing your credit score a bit. Next program does not, as loan is from AT&T. Both loans are zero interest.

If you pay off both loans and don't trade in the phone you pay exactly the same amount. The total cost of the iPhone and taxes.

My question is what will Apple or AT&T give for trade-in of iPhone 6
AT&T give you store credit towards a new phone
[doublepost=1472315864][/doublepost]I need the iPhone 7 before October 16

Why? Some people NEED an organ before October 16th. You WANT an iPhone before October 16th.
 
Yes since my dad not here the rest of that Month
The iPhone 7 will still be there when he gets back.

Your best bet for getting an iPhone 7 is camping outside an Apple Store TODAY and waiting till launch. You'll be first in line, and 99% guaranteed that you'll get the iPhone you want.

Let's just hope this isn't like the Apple Watch launch, though.

I usually get my iPhone on my birthday on sept 22 but this year on the 23 I hope to see if they have in stock at the store or I have to order it via AT&T next

How is anyone on here supposed to know what Apple stock situation is for any phone, let alone one that has not yet been released. Anything anyone may say is just a wild guess.

It happens to me in 2014 I purchase the lg G3 the end of August but I returned it and had difficult time getting the iPhone 6 had to wait that whole month to find one at the local Apple Store and do a two year contact via AT&T
