It’s upsetting that AT&T wasn’t clearer on this before we decided to rant, especially since their own employees didn’t know that one could replace a non-discount-eligible iPhone with a 4G iPhone purchased using the eligibility from a discount-eligible iPhone on the same family plan. At least, so says AT&T now, well after pre-orders for the 4G iPhone stopped, and units are already shipping. In fact, getting a 4G iPhone at this point will likely take several weeks before stocks are refilled.
Still, this information is useful, since it means we don’t have to wait until next year to upgrade at discount. If we did have to wait that long, we’d probably just wait another four months to see what next year’s iPhone will bring. Now, however, we need to rethink whether we can make good use of that 5MP camera, HD video-recording, and FaceTime.
