Hello all,

So Apple made a note during the keynote to state the SE 16GB would be free on contract. Is it safe to assume that the 64GB version will be $50 on contract? With no mention of 64GB contact pricing it makes me worry that the 64GB might not even be available for contract pricing.... Not a big deal but I would prefer not to pay full price up front and do not want to go through AT&T next.

For reference, I am a AT&T business member that still has the ability to use 2 year contracts and unlimited data.

IFollowing the traditional model, if the 16GB version is free on contract, then shouldn't the next step up be $100 on contract?

The 5s was free for 16gb and $50 for 32gb. Since the SE is $50 cheaper off contract I assume it will at least fit into the previous 5s contract pricing.

That would be great, and I wouldn't complain since the wife will be getting the 64GB variant, but I could completely see it being $100 (especially since the RAM increase is more dramatic).

That it would! $100 wouldn't be an issue either. Just wondering why there was no mention of 64gb contract pricing. Contract pricing is no longer a given since everything is moving to next style installments.

Interesting! Mind sharing a link to pricing? I have been unable to find contract pricing... Just next or off contract.
[doublepost=1458613806][/doublepost]Ok scratch that. Both sprint and Verizon options show $50 on contract. AT&T doesn't since "normal" buyers can't get contract pricing any more. Thanks for the tip! So AT&T SHOULD offer it for $50 on contract for business members.
 
I'm a current att 2 year contract customer. Contract ends in September. Would I then be able to get it for $50 and a 2 year contract?

Yes, if ATT is currently renewing on-contract customers with renewed 2-year contracts.

Are they?

They forced one of my family members to a next plan when her contract ran out. I believe it was January of this year that AT&T stated that it would no longer renew 2 year contracts for standard members. Business members are uneffected but are f***ed when pre-ordering a iPhone since we can only go through AT&T... Can't even order through Apple since AT&T doesn't allow them to process the 2yr renewal....

Looks like you're SOL:

"Instead of signing a contract, AT&T customers buying new smartphones will have to sign up for an "AT&T Next" device payment plan, in which they pay off the cost of their phone over the course of time. AT&T will officially stop offering contracts on January 8."
