You'll only get a partial discount. You won't get the new phone for the $200/$300 price points. Those are for full upgrade only.So I'm looking to sell my old phone but was wondering how do I know I'll be able to upgrade once the new one comes out. I don't want to sell my old iPhone and be told I still have to ride out the contract and have no phone.
I logged into my AT&T account and see this message, should I be good? It threw me off somewhat because it says June 2013
Wow is that right? have always got an early upgrade and paid only the subsidized price never more, also never had to wait until my full 2 years were up been with AT&T since the first gen. Have things changed now?
It used to be that if you paid over $99 (or something like that) per month, the main line on your account could get the upgrade yearly. Sadly that is no longer the case.
Yes, they have changed their subsidys.
So this new change is just recently now in effect for this new iPhone 5? That's too bad, as I recall I purchased my 32gb 4S for the 299 price having been only about a little over a year into my iPhone 4 contract.
Well it's not specifically for the new iPhone 5. It was actually in place maybe 3 months (give or take some) after the 4S launched. Either way, you should be able to break even with your 4S, especially if you have AT&T unlock it after you upgrade, so not quite sure what the issue is here.
Thanks guys so curious what would I be looking at for the 32gb about $500-525? If I have AT&T unlock my 4s the going rate via eBay I've seen is about 5-600 right? I guess it's about the same if those estimates are right, might just have to pay tax or a bit more.
Your numbers are about right. I would expect to get ~$450 for the unlocked 4S. Remember, you will be selling it AFTER the new phone launches (assuming you sell it unlocked).
My point is, he will make up most, if not all, of the difference in that he has an unlocked phone to sell. He won't be able to get ATT to unlock the phone until he resigns a 2 year.
Yeah, was thinking somewhere around there 50 bucks less since it will be after the new release. I will wait and see how things play out right on lord.
I've sold all my previous iPhones some before launch of the new one some after, they don't usually dip THAT much see above all Apple products usually hold good value even years on down the line. The reason he's suggesting to sell it after is so I can sell it unlocked which usually fetches about 100 more bucks.
You also have to figure in tax on top of that will have you breaking $600, so the buyer is actually saving $100 or so. But it might not sell for exactly $500, perhaps $450 or so. The point is it should just about cover the upgrade fee.
Yea, sounds like a good deal. How much can you get if the phone is jailbroken as well?You also have to figure in tax on top of that will have you breaking $600, so the buyer is actually saving $100 or so.
