Did you recently buy an iPhone only to discover a new version was about to
be released? Fear not, AT&T's got you covered. Gizmodo
and Crunchgear
confirmed a few things that weren't mentioned at Monday's keynote.
Glenn
Lurie from AT&T Mobility says that if you bought an iPhone after May
27, 2008 you're eligible for an iPhone 3G upgrade when it goes on sale July
11 at no additional charge (except
maybe that $10 increase in your data plan). He didn't give any other details,
so I'm assuming you return it to the store where you bought it. If that's the case, this may be
a good time to look for your iPhone receipt.
As you know, early adopters who want to buy an iPhone will have to sign another
two-year agreement. Gizmodo says that the new agreement will overwrite your
previous agreement with AT&T, so you'll only have two years left on the
contract as opposed to three or four. This is definitely good news, since I'm sure the iPhone
3.0 will be out before your new contract is over.
