Apple Inc. has started to take pre-orders for the newly unveiled iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, and it seems like it's going to be another record breaking launch. Since Apple released its new flagship phones, orders for the units have also gone crazy in the four major mobile providers, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T.
Apple plans to provide a 24-month installment plan, with an upgrade every 12 months for its loyal customers. For whatever reasons that consumers have in getting an iPhone, the questions is, how does one choose the right plan? This move could change the image of the mobile industry.
The most convenient payment plan is with AT&T. Its Next 24 divides the cost into 30 sustainable monthly installments. Imagine, the 16GB iPhone 6S, will charge only around $21.63 per month. Completing the payments will allow the subscribers to own the phone, or can trade it into a new device on the second year. As for Verizon, it will let the customers pay 24 months at $27.08.
Meanwhile, the iPhone Forever plan of Sprint allows clients to upgrade to another iPhone every time there is a newly launched phone from Apple. The plan will only cost subscribers $22 per month, again only after a year. T-Mobile's Jump! On Demand permits subscribers to change phones for free, three times every 12 months, which primarily means they can change phones whenever Apple releases a new iPhone.
Well, since Apple only releases a new flagship phone once a year, subscribers will be able to upgrade phones more often than before, if they subscribe to any of the said programs. Even if the T-Mobile Jump! On Demand plan permits consumers to change gadgets three times per year, Apple releases only once a year, this virtually diminishes this option for iPhone enthusiasts.
