Sprint (NYSE:S) on Monday announced its new iPhone “Forever ” upgrade plan, which provides upgrades at any time, as opposed to an earlier “iPhone for Life” plan that provided upgrade options every two years. “They bring their iPhone, upgrade on the spot, and away they go”, the press release stated. In the past, when you signed a new contract, you’d get a phone for a much lower price (sometimes free).
One of the announcements Claure hinted at will explain what Sprint plans to do with all those second-hand iPhones it expects customers to trade in as part of its new iPhone for Life program.

And, once you have the iPhone 6, if you want to swap it before the end of the year – which you may, because there will nearly certainly be a new iPhone out before the year is out – you can keep that promotional rate.
