apple upgrade plan

[bobspud]

anyone know if you have to give the old one back when you upgrade? if not its a good deal as you can stick it on the business and then recycle the phones through the family each year

Isn't using an Apple without a case just asking for trouble? I don't think your requirements really match up with your solution.. Sounds like your standard fanboi excuse to me.

Fook me, for "only" £500 a year with no phone plan.

He should look in the mirror to check he hasn't got "MUG" tattooed on his forehead

Jesus you're such a kid.

It's 37£ For 7plus a month for 12 months then you hand your phone back and take another for 12 months

Then its not really worth it. I doubt many contractors will have a cash flow issue if they buy the phone up front. and then at least they get to give that phone to other family members when they fancy a new one.

Anew phone every year even if they haven't released a new model?

Cost aside isn't that horrendous from an environmental (or just plain common sense) perspective... or will you be able to sign up at a cheaper rate to get a "new" 1-year old phone every year?!

It turns out to be a credit agreement (interest free loan) from Barclays which I don't feel is attractive.

I think I'll stick with my plan of buy the phone, make it last 2 years, recycle to family then buy a new one.

But I have to say, it's not untempting.

It's not worth it the same as car leasing is not worth it and yet people buy them.And yet people take 50£ a month 2 year contract with carriers. How much do you pay for your phone contract?

As with everything it's worth considering. Might be a good life quality upgrade for people that use their phones often

I'm far from advertising that though.

Some interesting thoughts!

Lack of jack is major problem for me. Being music guy I have sennheiser momentum and now what? How can I charge and listen at the same time when the phone can't survive a day at work without charging....
