Hey guys,
I'm just curious to what most of you do. Do you buy your phone from Apple unlocked outright or do you wait until your contract is up for renewal and upgrade? Or pay early upgrade fees?
I find the best way to do it is buy it unlocked from Apple then every time the new iPhone comes out I list mine on eBay and offer (almost) worldwide shipping and find that I usually sell it for around $200 less then I paid for it. Then I line up at the Apple Store on the release date and buy 2 new iPhones, sell one on eBay (for $200 more than it's worth usually), and between selling the new one and the old one I sold on eBay, it usually pays for my new iPhone. It's like I get a free iPhone every time a new one is released. Anyone else do this?
This seems like the best way to upgrade year after year without being stuck in a big contract. It also gives you power to negotiate a better plan with the retention department with your phone carrier
