I'm in the same situation but one year in on a two year contract on an Unlimited My Way Family Plan with 5 lines... I have a 128GB iPhone 6. What are my upgrade options?

 

Sprint seemed to indicate on the My Account page that I qualified for a lease upgrade for a new device. However, what's the Loyalty Credit amount, and does this make sense to do? Would appreciate thoughts. Thanks!

 
See this post from another thread: 

IPhone Forever http://goo.gl/U2JEBa is the new iPhone every year at $15 per month ($5 after $10 credit) with trade in.

IPhone for Life http://goo.gl/YD0j0T is just the regular 24 month lease. That one is $20 ($5 after the $15 loyalty credit), and does not require a trade in.

We laid off Josh.  S4GRU outsourced his job to India.  Now, Sanjay will be performing those duties.  But Sanjay also will go by the name "Josh" to make you feel more comfortable.   AJ

I wonder what they will do for existing customers who paid up for the 20GB space.

It will be an automatic upgrade, since 20gb won't be offered anymore. At the most, you'll have to manually switch the package in settings

Hmmm. The apple leasing is something that's cool. But I have a upgrade on a two year contract that in a year into and supposedly my contract will break once I upgrade using easy pay so I'll take that route.

Isn't taking the money maker away from the carriers pressure? Sprint, Tmo, ATT and Verizon all love whatever the leasing/installment plan. Apple taking that from them is very interesting.

Installments are not the money maker, because the phones don't make the carriers money. It makes customer more sticky to their money maker, which is the service. That is what Apple is taking away from the carriers and it is a pretty big deal in my opinion.

2xCA compatible. 

 

I skipped the whole fact that this is CCA/RRPP compliant now. Great.

This has been the least exciting iPhone announcement since I got hooked on iPhones some years ago. I'm happy that it has TD-LTE CA now, and band 12, and 2 gigs of RAM. No battery life improvements, or much else really. Very incremental. I'm definitely waiting for the 7. Also I see AT&T has its own version this year. I wonder if the SIM free unlocked model will be that one this year like last years was the Sprint version because of TD-LTE.

I disagree. I think this is the most powerful S edition to date.

-Force touch will change phone gaming

-2GB of RAM is finally here with A9 processor

-12MP camera

This all beats the 5 to 5s handily.

How long until this phone hits the FCC OET? I'm curious about RF numbers.

You think I pulled out the supported frequencies and lte carrier aggregation combos out of thin air?

 

 

We found it the instant it was open to public. =)

I had meetings during the actual event so I had to read all the recaps.

 

I'm happy with the improvements. Especially the bands and CA. New 3d touch and camera upgrades are nice.

 

I'm not happy with the pricing. I thought Apple could have said 'hey we understand contracts are going away so we are going to discount the prices by $50 to $100 for full purchase price'. They have done this in the past with their other products.

 

Also not happy with no distinct battery improvement.

 

I'm also a little disappointed by the Apple TV. I think Apple could have offered some kind of bundled streaming package to include ESPN, HBO, Hulu, and Netflix, all billed through Apple at a reduced rate. I suppose that would have taken some serious negotiations but again Apple has a built in ecosystem of customers to use as a bargaining chip. And why have two storage models? Aren't the games streamed as well? Maybe that was a rumor.

 

iPad Pro...meh.

So, I'm assuming the fine staff here are scrambling to write the official article as we speak?

You could have pulled them out of another three letter word that begins with "A."

All the presumed US LTE 2xCA pairs given not all were required to be fully tested (particularly B4).

Can Verizon aggregate band 13 with anything else? I thought it was LTE release 8.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
