Apple's iphone upgrade program is only $5 more a month than Verizon's payment plan ($36.58 vs. $31.24) so was wondering what exactly is the the advantage of going Verizon's route? With Apple, for only $5 morea month I can upgrade when a new phone comes out and get Apple Care. Just seems like a no brainer, especially if one is going to upgrade when the new phone comes out next september. Am I missing something here? I don't see any promotions being run by Verizon that would make it worth it to buy the new iphone 7 through Verizon over Apple.

on Verizon's website it says you can trade in a current model, pay $99 and get the new 7. Was there some promotion early on in September where people could trade in their 6's and get a 7 with no additional $99 fee? I'd like to get the 7 and then the new iphone when it comes out next September but don't want to pay $99 to upgrade if that is the only route for an early upgrade.
