well this Next ish blows

my current bill for 3 iphones (mobile share value 10gb) is $137.38 with military discount.

granted at the time i paid $200 + tax + upgrade fee. that's a total of roughly $290/phone (not including the $36 activation fee)

now at&t wants to change my monthly bill to $191.58

$1296 minus $580 (out the door standard upgrade price of two iphones) equals $716 EXTRA that I will be paying in the span of 24 months!


FYI: You will be paying the standard tax of the phone (roughly $51.xx in California) and $36 activation fee whether you go the standard upgrade route or NEXT.


so in essence this NEXT upgrade isn't for everybody, YMMV depending on your current situation and monthly bill. in my case i'd be losing a total of $716 after the 24 months.

Everything is exaggerated according to Apple.
I mean saying "phones sold out quick the response is amazing" and only having 10k phones is one thing but if the number is greater than the 5 and 5S, thats not really anything exaggerated, but then again who knows, the 5S wasnt even for preorder so maybe they were saying the 5C in reference to preorders for the last two weekends. I think the first weekend sales will be the defining measure.

my tmobile status went from being processed to order placed, anyone know if thats anything major?
 
maybe im the outlier...but i never understood the purpose of pre-ordering a phone. its not like the phone will sell out and not be available ever again..
same thing I was saying during the PS4 release :smh:

Folks out there paying over retail for them thangs and they readily available a month or so later ... chillin on the shelf now :rofl:

Whats funny is that NT rushing to pre order and buy this $200+ phone and want it on release day, but gonna have the same phone as MILLIONS of other people.

But pass on a sneaker because "everybody gonna have em" ??????
 
Some of yall either flat out dont know or forgot the concept of a PRE-order.

pretty much my thoughts...i can see if it was like for xmas or there was a limited amount or your phone is broken right now...other than that i can wait a few more weeks. lol
 
So if I preorder on apple when I go to pick it up I can do my trade in then for an instant credit right? Basically the charge now will be a hold then it will be the actual charge on release day. Just don't wanna preorder, lose my upgrade then be stuck with my old phone even though I can flip it. Just wanna do everything in one shot.
 
Bruh we already know that these are going to be available everywhere later. We preorder to get the chance have it when it first comes out.

whos paying over retail? lol everyone pays the same price. Whats so difficult to understand that some people would rather a device be delivered to them with no issues than to have to waste gas going around to stores to see if they have it? My order has been processed just waiting on shipping date, so I can rest now.

I was talking about the PS4 there bud [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Also wasn't the point I was making

Stores have telephone numbers you can call and ask availability before you go trucking over there so need to "waste gas". You can also have it delivered to you AFTER release day ... Just sayin

lol what is the difference between having it shipped after and ordering on the day preorders began? What ever floats your boat though.

agreed BUT i did have to search for my ps4 when i copped...had to drive 30 miles from the house & grabbed the last one in the store. every store had literally 30+ xbox one's chilling but no ps4's
 
To change the subject. With this new IOS8 can will we be able to post gifs

Kinda annoying not being able to use a gif when I'm on my iPod or iPad. Always comes up as a .jpg only time it works is on iMessage when u copy and paste (for me at least).
 
You mean save and post on NT? That Prob won't change.. For imessage it's always worked. They're still in your gallery but when you send it works
 
You can post gifs on mobile by using the link. It's pretty easy. Can't post gifs that you've saved though.
 
maybe im the outlier...but i never understood the purpose of pre-ordering a phone. its not like the phone will sell out and not be available ever again. with that said i want to see how the phones are in store then i will call sprint and do some negotiating. i want the 6 plus but i feel like that will be too much for my hands.

I bought outright to avoid renewing my contract for another 2 years because my Carrier is trying to make me pay $20 extra per month. Saves me more money IMO

I lined up for the 5 and will never do it again
