Do you think early iPhone 4 buyers will get discounted pricing for iPhone 5?

[jamesryanbell]

If it's been announced, I haven't heard it yet.

You know how they offer pricing starting at $199 for new customers and eligible upgrades? I wonder if early iPhone 4 buyers will have that same price point? What do you think?

They won't do it different; it's carriers that pay the subsidies.

if thats the price for a new contract then thats the price, if your eligable for an upgrade than you can have that price to if you sign a new contract

There have been many threads about this already.

Upgrade dates usually don't get moved until after the phone is announced. It's happened this way in the past and i'm not expecting anything different this time.

No discount, I think, if you want, buy TouchPad

Well I bought my iPhone 4 the day it was released. A year later, I was eligible to upgrade. So yes, for me, I'm getting discounted pricing for the iPhone 5.

That's usually because your number is the main line and your bill is over 100 bucks. AT&T does that for its long time customers. If none of the above are true, you may want to call AT&T to confirm you're eligible.

Well, even if they don't move up the date, I'm eligible for an upgrade in late November (bought iPhone 4 preorder), so I would probably wait till then anyway.

They have done it for the past 3 iPhones, so I have a feeling they will.

Upgrades depend on the amount spent on your plan.

The only reason ATT was so generous with upgrades last year was because they knew that Verizon was getting the phone and wanted everyone locked in.

I don't think this is true. I bought the iPhone 3G on launch day, and I was not eligible for a discounted upgrade on the 3GS.

They did it last year but only to lock people in before AT&T lost their exclusive deal with Apple.
It was done before the iPhone 4 was even released.

Yes ATT is still doing it, I know because my upgrade eligibility has been moved up

iPhone 5 here I come!
