This will be my first year upgrading a device on a NEXT plan, every year before I would upgrade the device by paying the initial $199 or $299.

So how does this work? I believe I have to trade my phone in, so does that mean I can't do the midnight pre-order? Do I have to physically go to a store and trade the device in? I've never done this before...

They will probably give you or email you a prepaid label to mail you phone to ATT.

gotcha. Yeah I wasn't sure how the transition would play out. We shall see. Upgrading to the + this time.
 
I would never recommend the trade-in option as you lose out on some extra cash, but if you were going to trade your phone in, just run through this process (you have in your screenshot) real quick once the pre-orders are live. You'll get your order in and can still use your 6 until the 6S arrives.
