Yeah, it wasn't letting me tap that section for some reason so I just took care of it when I got into the office this morning.

Wow. That's a lot of phones.Yaz4Ever said:Ordered 5 iPhone 6's (4 16gb for wife and kids and 1 64gb for me) yesterday as I switched from AT&T to Sprint. They are all supposed to be delivered on Friday, 9/19 (release day). We'll see.
I wish. Still working on certification.Drocca said:5 iPhone 6's? Job search must have been a success.
I too switched to AT&T this week. The 5c's were free so we were really excited, never had a phone approaching that level of cool.
Has anyone ever seen one of those out in the wild? What would cause someone to purchase one?AlNipper49 said:Yaz4ever's family single handedly outsold that piece of shit Amazon phone

What's your willingness to wait in line for 3 hours? There's a good chance (better than even I'd guess) you'll be able to land one if you wait, but: 1) You may not; 2) Even if you do, it seems like less than a great use of time.DukeSox said:At this point, what's the best move for someone that wants to order a new AT&T iPhone 6 but hasn't place an online order yet - order online and wait based on whatever current delivery times are, or try to pick one up in Manhattan on Friday (?) when they become available in store?
Trautwein's Degree said:I have no idea why ATT and Verizon can't be up front and simple with how they are screwing the consumer. I've spent a decent amount of time trying to decode the ATT next program. I've reached the conclusion that opting in would result in me paying two subsidies at once. Anyone who deals with ATT or Verizon knows you're taking the business end of the instrument straight up the ass...and I'm fine with that as I'm willing to pay for a good phone and good service. But these companies are like the prostitute who steals your wallet after you pay full freight and tip well.
My issues with the Next program is that right now I have a GS4 that I purchased in August of 2013. If I upgrade via Next, I get hit with turning in my GS4 which I paid $200 for upfront plus a year of payments, I continue to pay the subsidy on the GS4 that I gave back to ATT until August of 2015, and I get hit with the monthly cost of a new device. At least, I think this is the case. The program is so damn complicated that I could very well be wrong and just have given up.Max Power said:
I did the math on the AT&T Next programs over the weekend. The Next plan doesn't charge the $40 activation fee, splits the full price of the phone in either 20 or 24 monthly interest-free payments, and drops the "line access fee" from $40 per month to $15 per month on a 10GB+ plan or $25 per month on a less than 10GB plan.
Taking a high-end $650 smartphone, you'd pay about $50 more over two years with Next as an individual, but $200 less on a Family plan with 10GB+ of data. A family should always either purchase the phones outright without a contract or join the Next plan, even if they don't want to swap for a new phone 12 or 18 months in.

From what I understand, you either keep making the payments on the phone and keep it when it's paid off, or turn it in for a new one and only make payments on the new one. It probably makes most sense to keep paying for it and sell it on eBay, but that depends on the phone.
Maybe there should be a new thread comparing plans. There are a whole lot more options than there ever were before.
You don't trade in your old phone when starting the program. I asked this and recorded it twice. You trade in each year but keep your original device (coming from a contract)Trautwein's Degree said:My issues with the Next program is that right now I have a GS4 that I purchased in August of 2013.

I just chatted with ATT. I can upgrade via next. I keep my GS4 which I'll sell. And my data plan decreases by $15. I'm looking at the moto x which should run $25 a month on next. Basically, if I sell my GS4 for $100 to Gizelle or something, I basically get the Moto X for free.TheShynessClinic said:
This would be awesome. My wife and I both want to upgrade the the bigger iPhone devices, but we've only had our current contract for 16 months. We could upgrade with Next - but I have no idea if it makes sense financially.
I wish there was a tool/excel spreadsheet or whatever where you could input your current plan, and go through different plans/phone upgrades and see what the true cost is.
This is if you're moving to the new (AT&T Mobile Share, Verizon More Everything) plans. If you have an old school type 'family plan' or what not, it may make more sense to stay on the current plan. The general idea that people should have when shopping for phones and plans is that both Next options are the same in terms of overall cost and they're the same as paying retail. If you're not planning on swapping phones that often consider Next = free financing. Signing a 2 year contract is basically paying an extra $150 per phone (if we're looking at the 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus). However, if you have an old plan, this changes a bit because your plan won't make you pay extra per line if you opt to take the subsidy. For me personally it's $240/mo on my current bill with $1800 in phone subsidies every 2 years (4 lines), vs. $183/mo for Mobile Share.Max Power said:A family should always either purchase the phones outright without a contract or join the Next plan, even if they don't want to swap for a new phone 12 or 18 months in.

I've seen a lot of people say the same, and it makes sense. They're already actively supporting 5 iOS screen sizes (3 iPhones, 2 iPads), plus legacy support for the iPhone 4. Dropping that to 4 screen sizes just doesn't seem worth alienating the segment of iPhone users who genuinely like a one handed phone.86spike said:Prediction: next year there will be a new model (akin to the 5c perhaps) that's a 6 in a smaller size because people like me aren't going to want to carry something the length of a cordless landline phone around in their pocket.
It isn't wrong. I said I don't understand it.mt8thsw9th said:Why should someone need to? I am not blind (thus I don't need a giant screen to see 99% of what I'm viewing) and use it a lot while carrying other things (like luggage). Why is it wrong that I prefer one handed operation when I'm not texting people? Using two hands forces you to have your phone front and center. I like casual browsing to be a distraction rather than the focus of my attention.
There's no real utility for me in a comically large screen, so I'm not sure why the option of having the perfect sized screen is being phased out.
And generally I'm mindful of not dropping it nor holding it loosely (which is needed to constantly slide your phone around in your hand); you can't clutch your phone in such a way that it won't easily be dropped or snatched out of your hand when you're holding a phone over 4 inches. And I'm 6'1", so it's not an issue of small hands. Different strokes.
As noted above, your monthly lease fee for the "Next" programs can end up being more in total than the increased fee on your per-line access fee.sox311 said:I am interested in knowing if all the online orderers are selecting the two year contract or the Next/Verizon More installment plans.
If you have recently changed to a Mobile Share Value plan on ATT, make sure that you are using the Next program or your per line price will go up from $15 a month to $40 a month.
86spike said:I just drew the dimensions of the smaller 6 out on a piece of paper and am really kind of bummed at how fucking long it is compared to my old 4s. Fucking thing would have almost a full inch sticking out of the hip pocket of the jeans I'm wearing right now. Fuck that noise.
Haha.NortheasternPJ said:Serious question, do you wear hipster skinny jeans or women's jeans?
I wear standard fit jeans, khakis and slacks/dress pants wtf you want to call them and I have a solid 3-4" above my phone in my pants. I'm not wearing skinny jeans, nor baggy, just standard/normal fit.
How small are your pockets? I've had a 5S for the last year and I couldn't stand going to a 4S again, I am also not sure i want to go to a 6, i would never got a 6+. But at the end of the day, I'm sure the 4S, 5S or 6 could fit into my jeans without sticking out.
Woah, I have two old 4s I haven't turned on in a year or more. Any details on how this works? I wasn't going to get a new phone (get a new battery in my 5 this week) but I'll do it if I can pull this off.derekson said:So apparently AT&T is giving $200 for trade-ins of iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C and $300 for 5S. I have an old 4 sitting around as well as my 5S, and I'm thinking I can get $500 for the two of them and pay $50 out of pocket for a 64 GB iPhone 6 ($200 subsidy upgrading 1 year early, so $549 price before trade-in credit). I still feel like 64 GB is just way more space than I'll ever use on my phone, but oh well.
