I don't buy Apple products new but having had the 6 for a month, it definitely could use the extra ram and that makes me excited to see the iPhone finally going with more than 1gb. My 5S didn't feel as memory-ridden as the 6 did but that could be because I was running the iOS9 beta on the 6.

Also, that picture in the OP is really cool.

Yup $32 is the base model 6S .. 128GB is $40 per month.

That's pretty drat affordable. I may have to jump on this.

The other weird thing about the upgrade program:


It would make no sense to keep it for 24 months, since you would pay more than the cost of the phone.

Some people can't afford to pay for a $800 phone up front. Do you not understand the appeal of payment plans?

It's a $650 16 GB iPhone 6S for $32.41 a month. After 24 months you will pay $777.84.

AT&T will sell you the same exact phone for $32.50 and it will be paid off after 18 months, for a total of $650.

That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.

Oh I see what you're saying now. Yeah I believe it's the Apple Care that makes the difference. But even still ~$125 more with the option to upgrade after 1 year is still worth it to me to do their payment plan (where I only pay $20/month right now on Cricket).

The thing that has me worried about the upgrade program is this little bit:

quote:

The iPhone Upgrade Program is available to qualified customers only with a valid U.S. personal credit card. Requires a 24-month installment loan with Citizens Bank, N.A. and iPhone activation with a national carrier — AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon.

No mention of Unlocked devices?

How did you get all the way to the fine print at the bottom without seeing the "Unlocked" in large print in section 2?

I was reading The Verge and came across this page: http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone6s

It says you can Pay in Full or use whatever carrier's payment plan. It doesn't say anything about buying an unlocked phone through the payment plan.
