Just talked to ATT.

I went to order the new iPhone 6 Plus on ATT. Here's the breakdown:

I haven't had a new phone for 2 years, so I am fully eligible for the upgrade.

There is no subsidization this time around.

The options are:

Get into the financing plan to upgrade your phone every 12 or 18 months, at 35.00 per month for 18 month upgrades or 45.00 per month to be able to upgrade every 12 months.

The iPhone 6 Plus will end up costing me 849.00.

I can buy it today with no contract or no upgrade program fees for 649.00.

My ATT plan would remain the same at 125.00 a month for my phone and my GF phone. Unlimited talk and text, and each with 2GB of data each month, standard plan details.

More free money for the carriers. Everyone still gets paid, and the additional cost is being passed on to the consumer for the luxury of carrying a smart phone.

Now let's see who turns this into an Apple hate thread without even reading that all the new Android phones coming out are going to be doing the same thing on the carriers.


I'm just going to pay for it outright at 649 dollars and not have to get into a new contract. They're offering some cheepers plans if you do it this way too.
