When a new iPhone comes out, can you exchange your old one for the new one for free?
Let's say I bought the iPhone 4s in 2011. The iPhone 5 comes out in 2012. Can you get the new iPhone 5 for free by simply exchanging the phone?
I was told that by 2 of my friends. I told them that's stupid because there's no way apple would be making money. My first friend (who is more reasonable), said that he thought you got the next one free after your contract is up. I said there's no way, you'd have to pay the extra $300. He has an iPhone 4s and I've got the iPhone 3GS. If you could've exchanged it, I would've known and switched my phone out instantly. Now my other friend was less open minded. He said "If you play your cards right, you can get the new iPhone simply by exchanging your phone". What cards can you play? No phone company in their right mind would give you a free $300 phone without getting a new contract. This kid doesn't even have an iPhone so I don't see how he would know. So now, I'm asking Yahoo Answers to see if that myth is true.
Just simply ask your phone company.
Most of the time you will be able to replace it.
Actually you exchange it and you get SOME money back. Also Apple makes ALOT of money on each iPhone. I believe a unmarked iPhone is sold at $1, 000 for 8GB (it is legit).
Also phone company barley make money off iPhones. Sprint PCS maybe makes around $75 off each Iphones.

Why would you argue with your friends or post this question here when you could have just gone to the web sites of cell carriers and you would have seen for yourself what they're offering for old phones.
- When comes out, would you rather buy the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 or the 5.5 one? The only difference between the 2 models is the screen size as far is I know, if not, can you tell me in what ways they will be different?
- What would you do if you were watching your favorite show, and your 20 year old kid turned off the TV so that you couldn't watch it? I pay all the bills at the house. I normally watch AHS once a week with my kid. This week, she told me to go watch it in my own room. I told her my TV wasn't working and we would just have to watch it in her room. She turned off the TV so that I couldn't watch it. Then, she pompously pulled out her iPhone and proceeded to watch it on her iPhone. What would you do if this happened to you?
- Should I buy the iPhone 5 or wait 2 weeks until the new one comes out? I recently lost my phone and the plan I'm on is ending. So I need too get on a new phone service. I was going too try too suck it up and wait for the new iphone too come out in September but I'm going crazy without my phone! I can't keep in contact with anyone i need too and Its driving me insane. All the prices for the iphone 5 are high and when the new one comes out the price is dropping BY DOUBLE for the iphone 5. I don't know what to do someone help me please!
- Should I buy an IPhone 5 or just wait until the new one comes out? I just got a job at a gas station. It's my first job and I'm 17. My mom pays for my phone but I'm like the only person at my school that still has a Rumour! Supposedly a new IPhone is coming out but I'm not sure. Should I just buy an iPhone 5? Or do you know of any smartphones that are better than the iPhone?
