I'm getting an iPhone 3G for christmas but I'm afraid apple may release an updated one at Macworld. Doesn't apple have a 30 return policy if they update products? If they do update it what do you think they will do, what capacities and what prices?
Got a tip for us?

But my family is all gonna switch to AA&T and some will leave for college when macworld. Should I just forget about it since the 32GB is probably gonna be 100 bucks over the 16GB anyway?
so if they lower the price or change the capacity or more I could replace it. I did they with in late 07 MB when in march when they released new ones.
would it madder if I took it to apple within the 30 days if there is a new one even if i got it at an AT&T store or would AT&T honor the 30 day thing too?
You'll get charged a restocking fee and will have to go through hassle with Apple to get it exchanged. I hate hassle but that's just me. 🙂
You don't have to do this all at once I don't think. Everyone else in your family can get their phones now and when you are ready to get yours all your family has to do is add a line to get one.

or if you are on their family plan now, and need to move over with them... then go buy a $14 go phone or something and use that as your phone in the meantime.
I may just ask to wait. I can live without a phone for two weeks. By then I will have used my touch for over a year so I will feel better about getting a new iPhone.
The 30-day limit is AT&T's rules. Paraphrased from http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/return-policy.jsp
Return within 3 days: pay 10% restock fee (must return the phone), ATT refunds activation fee, no ETF charge for canceling the contract
Return after 3 days but within 30 Days: pay 10% restock fee (must return the phone), ATT keeps activation fee, no ETF charge for canceling the contract.
After 30 Days - no returns for iphone.
Also note that the Apple 14-day policy has an exception for the iphone and restocking fees (from the bottom of http://www.apple.com/legal/sales_policies/retail_us.html)
