TUAW blogger TJ Louma enquired AT&T regarding the upgrade plans to iPhone 4 and he found out that if you’re lucky enough to qualify for one of the early upgrades that get you out of usual 18-months AT&T commitment period, then you pay just $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.
If your upgrade date is January 1, 2011 or after, early pricing for the iPhone 4 will be US $399 for the 16GB model of $499 for 32GB model.
If you plan to upgrade it to “no-commitment” contact, meaning that there’s no early termination fee for dropping the phone led two years, the price sneaks up another $200 to $599 for the 16GB model and $699 for the 32GB unit.
As with major purchase you should consider these pricing factors before you jump into purchasing a new iPhone. Remember, there will be a new mold coming out in 2011.
