Based upon on the rules of the iPhone Upgrade Program, I'm going to have to wait until January of 2017. Crap.
I still owe $170 on my AT&T Next plan for my current iPhone 6 Plus, I want to completely pay that off before I buy a new phone.
For those that don't know, if you do the iPhone Upgrade Program and you have a device to trade-in it kinda' sucks for you. You can't just take the trade-in value of your old phone and apply it to the cost of your new phone thus lowering your monthly price.
So January it is, I have to wait until then to pay off the current $170 that I still owe and right now finances are tight. I just got done paying off a huge load of debt and my account balances aren't where I want them to be.
Crap.
And before you ask why I don't just go for another AT&T Next Plan, I just don't want to. I don't want to be shackled to AT&T, I don't want to be locked up in the AT&T jail. I want a device that I take from carrier to carrier and be able to tell AT&T to screw themselves if I don't like them anymore. And as for iOS 10, I won't upgrade; I'll keep pushing the cancel button. I won't upgrade my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 10, I'll stay on iOS 9.3.5 since I know iOS 10 will slow the iPhone 6 Plus down quite badly.
