I am going to order an 8 to upgrade my current 6. I really want the 10 but since it does not have the new T-Mo 600mhz band radio yet, I will use the 8 for a year on an upgrade program and then upgrade to the X next year when it will hopefully support the new frequency.
I am not currently on any upgrade plan. The 6 is owned outright. So I can't tell if I want to go thru the Apple Upgrade Program or the T-Mobile Equipment Installment Plan. If I add insurance to the T-Mo plan (which includes Apple Care+ for $12/mo) my payment will be approximately $29/mo. The Apple plan will be $35/mo including Apple Care. I believe both plans let you upgrade after a year if you've paid 50%.
So I guess my question is there any reason not to go with the T-Mo plan plus the insurance that includes Apple Care? All my recent phones were purchased outright from Apple so going thru a carrier will be a first for me.
Sorry for the long post but thanks for any thoughts.
