Apple no longer sells iPhones with regular AT&T contracts Comments

This is not true. I just logged into my AT&T account and selected an iPhone 6 as an upgrade choice and there is a 2 year commitment option. For the 16GB phone it is $199.99. I think that is way better than paying $21.67 a month for 30 months ($650.10)!

Lol, now that residents of the US will realize how much Apple phones cost, I expect the market share of Apple to drop like a stone in that market. This also applies to other "flagships" like the Galaxy S6. The Nexus 5 proved it's possible to build a terrific phone in the 300-400 range. So, 700-dollar phones today are a rip-off.

For plans of 10GB and higher your cost of service on NEXT is $25/line less than on a 2yr contract. Add to it a minimum of $200 you have to put down when getting a new phone on contract and NEXT is actually cheaper over 2 years.

there is no interest on the next program, all AT&T phones have sim cardscards andand next devices are locked to AT&T until they are paid off. go to a retail AT&T store and see why next is better for most consumers if you're on a new plan I guarantee Next the better way for you to buy phone.

Smart but different tactic. The fact that it's no longer 2 years to a consumers point of view
No contracts.
Payments towards ownership of the phone in less the 2 years.

In short, anyone on a NEXT plan is actually paying MORE for their phone than a typical 2-yr contract.

It's not just Apple stores. The 2 year contract format is being replaced by the next program at all third party sellers. The only exception being large warehouse stores with membership fees. Such as Costco. Don't be surprised if contracts are completely done away with in all locations in the future.

I doubt that the phone is SIM-free, all of the iPhones sold on AT&T Next program I've seen were all locked to AT&T.

"This means that the AT&T unit is essentially SIM Free, but, as expected, interest does ramp up the overall price."...
Next has no interest. It just breaks down the phones unactivated retail price into interest free installments.
