I'm still on my grandfather AT&T unlimited plan.... I'm out of my contract and wondering if I should do the Next program, buy it outright, or a 2 year contract? Any suggestions?

If you can afford it get the apple program and buy it out right. Depending on the model you get you might be able to factor in Apple care plus for free
 
If the base model is 27x24mo its 648 total..

Phone is 549+tax
Apple care is 129

You are still ahead by doing Apple program

The Apple credit program doesn't excite me too much. There is no real benefit (other than Applecare) IMO over the AT&T next and it's more expensive. You also need to open a line of credit with Apple (whatever bank it is). Instead, AT&T just adds the next installment to my monthly bill.
 
I'm using AT&T Next and it says I;m not due for an upgrade till 9/17. Anyway around this? Seems silly since I pre-ordered the 6 the day it was available so I assume others are in my same boat.
 
I personally plan to buy the 64gb 6 for 649+tax. I already locked my quote for next worth at $390.50 and it's good until October 11. I'll try swappa once I have my phone in hand and see what pays out better. On swappa I plan to include a boat load of accessories such as battery cases and a Bluetooth speaker, may drive the price up some we shall see.
 
Thank god i confirmed my debit card on the apple app before it went down. So hopefully it will just be as simple as paying for the phone. Im buying the phone out right. Im with ATT prepaid go plan
 
In previous years what was the time difference to get your phone the day it is released vs. a few days later....If you were 2 minutes late did you have to wait a significant amount of time for your phone?
 
So can anyone explain what this AT&T Grandfather Unlimited Data Plan is and how I can get it? Cuz it sounds pretty good! HAHA. I seriously don't know what this is.

Grandfathered means that these people had their unlimited data plan back when ATT offered it. If those people never upgraded just bought their phones out right then they don't lose their plan so they are "grandfathered" into the new phone. Meaning the plan transfers over. Unfortunately no one can get an unlimited plan from them anymore.

well, you either have it or you don't. Its from eras bygone. Some people may be willing to sell you their account for some monies... but it can't be had from AT&T directly...

Just a little under 4 hours to go. Excitement is building up.

The only time I've pre-ordered an Apple device is for the Apple watch and that was pretty hectic. I got lucky with my order, and managed to get it on day 1. Hope that's the case with the iPhone too.

Last year I used the apple app and I waited 25 minutes and mine was pushed back to the 2 week window but as it closer to launch day it got sooner and I received it day one. BUT it's all about the carrier and the color and GB size that you go with. Good luck tonight!

Btw I got a 6 plus space gray.

I am going to try to get two phones on the Apple Upgrade Plan...
 
Hopefully the app is the quickest way. Im going for the 6s Plus space grey 128, Im paying for it out right so i hope this can be quick and easy
 
What is going on with the Apple Store website? Starting to get a little worried now...
lol, your newb title here is confirmed I guess...
Do not worry, this is normal apple pre-launch of new item way of doing things. They turn off the store so as to not have it crash before release of the new item due to millions refreshing the page constantly. Once we reach close to the time of the pre-order it will come back up. :)
