How would you like to use your Verizon Edge, AT&T Next or T-Mobile Jump! plans to get an early upgrade to the Apple iPhone 6 from the Apple Store? Apple is working right now, on getting things into place so that this will be available to customers of those three U.S. carriers, before the iPhone 6 is launched. Currently, U.S. buyers of the Apple iPhone from the Apple Store, can purchase the device with a two-year contract at a subsidized price, or by paying full price for an unlocked variant of the phone. Last month, Apple started allowing those using a pre-paid network, or who pay month-to month for cell service, to buy a full-priced, unlocked iPhone from the Apple Store.
Verizon Edge allows customers to pay full retail price for their phone over 24 months. You can upgrade to a new phone every six months as long as your current model is at least 50% paid off. T-Mobile Jump! is similar. With AT&T, you have 20 months to pay off a device, and you can upgrade once every 12 months. Considering that 80% of Apple iPhone units are purchased at third party locations, and only 20% are purchased directly from Apple, opening up Apple Store sales to the carrier's early upgrade programs could be quite positive for Apple.
Apple Store workers and Genius Bar employees will start to receive training on the plans from Sunday, August 10 to Thursday, August 28. The 4.7 inch Apple iPhone 6 is expected to be unveiled on September 19th with the larger 5.5 inch model believed to be scheduled for an October introduction.
