Wait... Seriously? They didn't put 3D touch in the new iPads? How loving stupid. I guess you're right, it's pretty stupid to buy an iPad since we know what the new feature will be next year

flipoff posted:I did some quick math on the apple upgrade program, and it's looking to me like it might be a good deal compared to buying/reselling your phone. I know it's been said, but that's a really low trade in value from Gazelle. I can find unlocked 64GB iPhone 6 on eBay right now, with bids, for $513, $520, $550, $436, $510, $560, $510, $455, $500.... Those about all average to $500. About $150/year more than what Gazelle is offering. Even with Apple Care+. $750 phone + $130 Apple Care = $880. Subtract what you sell the phone for (-$500, so a $250 loss), brings you to $380, which is $31.66/mo. Apple's plan costs $36.58. So you save $62.28/year if you can sell your 1 year old $750 phone for $500. Which should be pretty easy. The nice thing about selling your phone on your own is that you don't need Apple Care. That brings the monthly cost down to $20.83/mo, or $250/year, to have the latest and greatest iPhone every single year. So you are saving $15.75/mo or $189/year by selling your phone without Apple Care + Added On. It will always be cheaper to purchase and sell your own phone than to use one of these trade in programs if you want the latest phone every single year.
