You need to add another $120, contracts run for two years. Add a little over $100 more and you could just by one for retail and not be locked into two contracts. I don't know about you but $120 isn't worth being locked into contracts with $600 worth of ETF's.
What the hell? That's not the way to do it. This is how to do it:
No money lost. New phone every 2 years with minimal effort.
- Buy iPhone 5. The even year (2012 in this case) is always going to be the one that has a redesign of sorts to it while the one after that will just be an S-for sucker rehashing.
- Skip iPhone 5S, its just gonna be the same anyway with new internals and it fits perfectly with your contract to skip it. Be content with your still powerful iPhone 5 and no contract woes.
- Buy iPhone 6 with the 300 or so dollars you make from the sale of the 5. Renew contract with no hassles.
- Repeat till the end of time.
No money lost. New phone every 2 years with minimal effort.
Sigh. This doesn't work if you have teenagers. They're like vultures waiting for you to upgrade so they can get the old phone.
EDIT: can't spell for the life of me.

Is it really that enticing to wait for an S-version of the iPhone you already have?
Fixed that for ya.
LOL. Too true. I have two (actually one is no longer technically a teen
). At least they can be cute sometimes:
