What About This New "Leasing A Phone" Thing?

[longknocker]

Scott: I Just Went Through This Wednesday With ATT. Apparently You Save Over $100 If You "Lease" The Phone And You Don't Have To Pay The Extra Monthly Fee That You Do If You "Bought" The Phone. Also, I Called Tech Support For My iPhone 4 That The Touchscreen Went Out. He Said I Was "Lucky" I got Three Years Out Of It; The Normal "Life Span" For An iPhone Is Around 2 Years, Now. So If You Bought Instead Of Leased, You Would End Up Paying More Money And May Have A Phone That Quits On You After 2 Years.

This sounds like total bullshit, what demographic are they using, monkeys at the zoo? Not to mention warranty or not Apple is very good about replacing phones, so I would seriously question what Michael from Mumbi.... I mean Wisconsin told you on the phone.

That being said I like the new phone every year deal, but that's just me.

The "Warranty" Is Only One Year, Though, Correct, Adam? My Touchscreen Wouldn't Work After 3 Years And The Estimated Cost Was $250-300 To Fix It. Then Something Else Would Break. Good Luck With Keeping An iPhone For 3 Years Or More Trouble Free.

I've always had good luck with phones, though no I have never kept one past two years, even though they were still in perfect condition.

Are you sure you're monster paws didn't have something to do with your poor screen being molested?

I Take Care Of Them, Hardly Ever Drop One. I Only Buy New When They Quit Working.
