Will it be sold on a 1 year contract?

[durangojim#AC]

I usually only buy phones from Verizon on a 1 year contract, and now that they've done away with early upgrades, I'd still like to do that. I won't leave Verizon, but do any carries let you purchase the iPhone on a shorter than 1 year contract if you don't buy it outright?

I dont think they will allow this. I am not overly happy about it, but hopfully they will do something similar as AT&T and let you upgrade to the newest iphone if you are close to the end of your contract.

Is verizon one year or two year contracts?

 

[kch50428]

Verizon will do either one or two year contracts currently... or pay full retail, and go no contract.

 

[jdavis530]

Then I think it would still fall under Verizons normal contract offers.

Does AT&T not offer 1 year contracts?

You will definitely have the option to do 1yr, 2yr and also month to month. This is standard for vzw.

AT&T does not offer a 1yr contract with the iPhone. From what I have heard Verizon will do the same. There is no 1yr pricing for the iPhone. The two options are 2yr contract price and no contract price.

where does it say the no contract price for verizon? Also verizon never really advertised prices for 1 year contracts as they try and get you to sign a 2 year contract

It does not say that yet. I always did the 1 year upgrades myself but my understanding is that apple products will not offer that type of upgrade.

I agree with shipwresler. VZW never advertises 1 year contracts but you find them on their website with crazy month to month option. That's where you get to find out what Apple wants for their toys.
The 1 year contract does cost you $70 over the 2 year contract but thats cheap when you look at a $375 ETF.

and you also get to upgrade again at 10 months versus the 20 month on a 2 year contract

I REALLY hope they offer the 1-year contract, even if it is $100 over the 2-year price. Definitely worth it to be able to upgrade, at discounted pricing, in 10 months.

I don't know what VZW will do, but in general terms, AT&T always allowed the upgrade price for current iPhone customers upgrading to the newest iPhone (every june)... I can't imagine there would be that much difference in pricing/strategy between carriers since they are in competition for that money.

 

[thebizz]

I would hope so even still looking at a 1 year contract for the wife just so she can upgrade next year. Also works out that I have an upgrade waiting for something worthy of my money

 

[Cleveland]

never saw a one year contract price for ATT on iPhone ever, but they have allowed us to upgrade with a fee... $200 in most cases

 

[experiment 626]

I think when it comes the iPhone you can throw most of VZW's previous policies out the window.Verizon sure has.You would think Verizon would offer some kind of 1 year upgrade option just so those who buy a CDMA iPhone now would be able to resign to get an LTE iPhone when that becomes available.

 

[mgrayo01]

Bump. Anyone heard anything about a 1-year contract in the past week? I googled a little but didn't come up with any updates.

 

[shipwrestler125]

Guess we will have to wait and see closer to preorders and everything
