Apple Upgrade

[Highrisedrifter]

This is totally the news I was waiting for (but didn't know it was going to be included)

I am going to upgrade my 6 to a 6s Plus this year as I use my phone as a GPS unit and the larger screen will be invaluable.

Anyone else going to do that too?

Not a bad deal... especially with AppleCare+

And of course it's not available in Canada... And if bell, Rogers, and telus have any say probably never...

Just a reminder to some folks that haven't thought about it; the starting price point of $32 and $36 are for 16GB.

With those prices, I'm thinking AppleCare+ is included in the monthly payments. I could be wrong though.

Yup. Apple Care+ included.

Yup. Apple Care+ included.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It might still be worth it in the long run...so to speak.

Seems pricey. Last week I sold my iPhone 6 128GB Verizon phone for $680 without Applecare+. Bearing that in mind....

A 128GB 6S on Apple Upgrade would cost $490 after 12 months when it is time to trade-in on the next phone.

Outright, a 128GB 6S with Applecare+ and tax is $1,000. To sell that phone a week or two before the keynote for $700 would yield a $300 total cost vs the $490 total cost of this program. Yeah it's only $150 to $200 but that is still money saved.

This is attractive to people who don't want/have the means to spot the full price up front...they pay more for convenience. I'm personally not interested, I'd rather do like finn and save a couple hundred bucks in the end to apply to the next variant.

The $32/month forever for a 16GB phone is a horrible value. Save a little each month, and plunk it down every September for a device you can keep, pass down or sell.
