What are you talking about? I bought 2 on launch day and I'm upgrade eligible on both lines..... maybe you should just talk about what you know instead of what you THINK you know.
Got a tip for us?

I have had an iPhone 4 on AT&T since it came out but I will be buying a 4S. Why you ask? Because AT&T can take their overpriced plans and capped data and shove it up their ***. Sprint with a cheaper bill and unlimited data, here I come. I will just sell my current iPhone 4 and be out nothing. Easy as pie

Why upgrade? In fact, why be in a hurry to upgrade when you have an iphone 4?

Not anybody. Myself, and many, many others who renewed with their iPhone 4 purchase will be able to by a 4s at renewal price. I have five phones on my plan and my line (as the primary) is eligible for renewal pricing every 12 months.
Hong Kong/China is not mentioned by name in the keynote. The closest is Japan (Oct 14), 22 more countries Oct 28 and 70 more by Dec 2011

How do you get them to reset your upgrade eligibility every year? I definitely want the iPhone 4S, even if it is not redesigned on the outside, but right now I would have to shell $450 out for it
I got my iPhone 4 the day before launch. I'm eligible. i'll be pre-ordering just like last year, and sitting pretty at home awaiting its delivery while suckers wait in line
I used the iPhone upgrade thing and it told me I would need to pay that price. If AT&T allowed me to just extend my contract then that would be cool.
iOS 5, iCloud, iTunes integration, App Store, and Siri.
People who look at specs and think that tells the whole story amaze me.
generally speaking if you buy the new phone pretty quickly after its launch you can get AT&T to allow you the cheaper upgrade pricing. its simple if they don't, you sell your phone ETF and now have 2 other network choices that will give you the lower price. so they now compete exact same phone on 3 networks and will want to keep you as a customer more than likely.
Hey, I'm one of those people (there were several).So where's that guy who kept posting here on MacRumors that there was no way Apple would call their next iPhone the 4S because it would upset the naming scheme? Ahahahahahhahahaha
Looking at the hardware they announced, I'm not surprised that they did. Trying to guess what Apple is going to do next is a crapshoot anyhow.
I also predicted that they would include HSPA+ in the iPhone 4S which they did not; that was the most surprising omission in my eyes. However, I insisted they wouldn't bother with LTE nor WiMAX (I was correct there) and I thought that the Sprint exclusivity thing was a load of cr*p (again I was right there).
The rest of it was pretty predictable: dual-core A5 SoC with dual-core GPU, more NAND flash storage, faster 3G data, Bluetooth 4.0, better camera, etc.
Of course, of all the things to get wrong, the name is the least important of them all.

Have any documentation to support this? In my case (and many others), this is not true at all. I've had a family plan ever since the first iPhone (with my wife and I both buying one), and after that first year when AT&T let everyone upgrade from the 2G to the 3G, it's always been a 2 year cycle on both lines. I upgraded my line (the primary) to the 3G from the 2G after the first year, but my wife kept her 2G. When the 3GS came out, my primary line wasn't eligible, so I used her upgrade (since it had been 2 years since she had a new phone) to do an upgrade swap. It's been like this every year since. One line is eligible one year, then the next year the other line is eligible, both being on a 2 year cycle, but one year apart.

Information reads: Front Camera has been "tuned" to add in more light. Why didn't they just put the old back-side camera on the front for the 4S? Geesh! I guess I'm just sore because I bought a 27"iMac then months later they upgrade with HD camera on the newer iMacs. :/

True, but you have to admit, this is a pretty small upgrade.
To say SIRI will only work on the 4S is BS

Not necessarily, at least with AT&T. Their upgrade eligibility seems to be very arbitrary and based on a ton of unknown factors. I've been an AT&T customer for a very long time, got an iPhone 4 when it launched, and have been upgrade eligible for months. That line and account has been with AT&T for a very long time. My fiancée's line was originally on her mom's account before it was moved to my account a few years ago. After the iPhone 4 came out she wasn't eligible to upgrade until mid-February, then all the sudden the date on her line changed by 2 or 3 weeks. Now her line that upgraded last February isn't eligible again until September of 2012, that's over a year and a half from her last upgrade. Their upgrade process really makes no sense.
Noe of the providers has any information yet, but they will.
I had to call the Verizon Customer Service for an unrelated issue and while I waited there was a prompt informing me that I was eligible for a new IPhone and directed me to the IPhone page, but guess what, they haven't updated it yet!! I hope they do soon
Midnight the 7th is coming soon!!that is the same pricing I got, I think I'm going to call customer service and if they don't allow me full upgrade pricing threaten to go to verizon
