Are we seriously about to only pay $300 for a 64GB/128GB 6S?

His Twitter and periscope. He is announcing as we speak.
With a trade in of your current iPhone 6.
Yes, I'm an existing JoD iPhone 6 customer.

That one is the $15 a month quote.
The $10 one is if you trade in an iphone 5s
The $5 is if someone trade in an iphone 6 not in jod.
Ah so the trade in is not counting a previous jod phone? Would make sense since the $15 a month quote is already a promo for people who just jumped onto jod a month ago.

Dont have that type of information yet. Ill probably have it tomorrow. Or maybe they will release a statement tonight.
This makes sense.
So it isn't really a deal, it is just what they are paying you for a trade in?
So they are paying you $27-5=$22/month times 18 months $396. Well, even less since the current deal is $20/month so $270 for a 6 tradein.

But remember existing jod customers can use this too.
Just watched the live feed on Periscope and he said just swing by a store when your 6s comes in and they will take care of it.
Full prerelease will hit T-Mobile newsroom tomorrow.
But Tmobile Support said you had to own the phone you are trading in.

Wasn't this originally shown at WWDC on the current iPhone 6 at the time :/ Sucks that it is now only available for the 6S.

The CEO knows more about this than support. Go read his tweets. He literally says existing jod customers will get the deal too.
Likely by paying off their trade in first; otherwise would make zero sense.

Wonder what I could get for my 64 gig 6 on eBay..... might do it.
I'm pretty sure any phone that a carrier gives you upfront belongs to you and is in your ownership. In the same way that you 100% own a house that is mortgaged.
JOD is a lease.

I really want to buy to own I want to see how much it will be for a discount.

You haven't been with T-Mobile long. John does crazy stuff that doesn't make sense all the time.
He is already selling a unreleased device at a crazy discount. That in itself doesn't make sense.

Sure, but you still owe T-Mobile mobile money for it if you're not done paying it off.

A lease you can pay off to keep the phone. Nobody is forcing you to give it back and there are no fees for the jod program.
I'm inclined to agree here. His 7th tweet wasn't very clear if it applied to existing JoD customers with outstanding leases.

Sometimes when I do this no copy option pops up so I hope there is a keyboard shortcut...It's shown in a picture and described in the text.

Existing JOD customers are trading a 6 for a 6s which would qualify for the $5 price. Worst case scenario is we call CS and complain till they match the new promo.
You guys lack faith. T-Mobile isn't ATT.
But the reason he's able to offer this is because of the *paid off* phones being traded in, which would hold value. Existing JOD customers have a 6 that TMobile still owns most of the value of. I don't see it happening, but I'd love to be wrong.

They are buying out other contracts up to $650 of you give them your old device.

If you think about it is original JoDers traded in an old phone for a $15 per month iPhone 6. He had 0 motivation to let us upgrade to a 6s and to larger storage variants for free even though we didn't own the 6.
I don't think this is so far fetched.
I found it good for protection with quite a bit of bounce for drops, but stay away from lighter colors. It gets marked and scuffed very easily. Went from the best looking case I've ever had to the ugliest in two months.
I guess we'll see tomorrow.

I've been using the black leather case for my 6 Plus since launch. It looks nice and does what I want it to: prevent the screen from touch flush surfaces when laid on its face and prevent the camera portion from sticking out to the point that the phone has to rest on it when laid on its back.

Best Buy had a deal going on this week with a two year plan from Verizon, get the 6s for $200.
Last week was the 6 for $100 and a two year contract.

Apple really playing games with me
First they send an email about my apple care then they send an email about a personal online set up. Still no shipping confirmation:/

I'm going to have to agree with giga here.
I don't think this applies to those already on (A)JOD who already got locked in to their 15/19 20/24 promo pricing.
Makes no sense to further increase our monthly bill credit and dropping the total price of the phone even further.
Seems like a move to lure in those who didn't get on the preorder train and are on the fence about upgrading.
It only makes sense to trade in a ip6 that you fully paid off to be able to get it for $5/month
