HT4528 Will the iPhone 5 offer an early upgrade to users of previous versions of the iPhone?

The title says it all.

Your question does not make sense.  The iPhone 5 doesn't offer anything, except an exceptional user experience.  Perhaps you meant, "will the carriers provide free and immediate upgrades to anyone using an iPhone".  Most assurredly, no.  Following the completion of your contract, you can upgrade your handset.
"They better if they want to sell me a new iPhone 5."
Since you won't be purchasing an iPone 5, I'm guessing that TC will revise the Apple revenue forecast accordingly.

  • I phone 5 early upgrade

    As a 4s user who upgraded when released. We have 4 phones with Verizon with the next upgrade available Nov. 7th or so. Will Verizon be offering an early upgrade for those that would like to get the iphone 5 but maybe pay slightly more. Hard to keep up with Apple upgrades but would very much like to pre order. Spending $300/ month is not a small chunk of change for 4 phones. Verizon should do something. Even if you want to pay full price, you cannot get an early upgrade the last time around, what gives?

    My experience has been that there are no early upgrades for iPhones. At least that's what Verizon told me when I tried to upgrade to 4s recently.

  • Any way to get a one month early upgrade??

    My mom and I are on the same account and both have the same phone - HTC Incredible 2. Neither of us have had any issues with the phone whatsoever until recently. Both of our phone's charging port won't charge anymore. With only having to do little research, I learned this is a common problem with the HTC Incredible 2. Other than the broken charging ports, both phones are in great shape for being almost 2 years old. I don't have insurance on my phone, my mom does on hers, received a replacement phone but learned the one she received would be more trouble than it's worth so returned it and kept the Incredible 2. Being that the charging ports are broken, we both had to purchase an extra battery and external battery chargers. Anyone who has had this problem knows how much of a pain it is to not be able to charge your phone without having to take the battery out and switch to another one. There's no way to charge on the go. We have been loyal customers to verizon for many years and really would just like a month early upgrade. Our regular upgrade date is May 11, 2014 and was hoping to maybe atleast get a month early upgrade. Being that there is only about 2 months left until our upgrade, I see no point in forking over $300+ to get a new phone to use until the upgrade time and also see no point in doing the Edge program being that we don't generally even care to upgrade early. i get that verizon is pushing the new Edge plan so are stricter on early upgrades more so than in the past but I would hope that there would be some exceptions at their discretion. I've heard of people occasionally being able to get an early upgrade by calling customer service, etc so would just like to know if anyone has any suggestions. I will not join Edge and will not fork over hundreds of dollars to use a new phone for 2 months. I would hope that Verizon Customer Service would be a little sympathetic to their customers. The better the service, the more likely the customers are to stay.

    I would call the 800 number and discuss with them. Even though it is Verizons Policy not to be nice to its customers in situations like these, sometimes you get the correct CS Agent on the phone who has a strange ability to make it happen.  I know of at least 4 different cases in the last 3 months where the CS Agent on the phone was able to offer an early upgrade (although each time the end user was charged a $20 fee to do so). Some of these 4 were up to 45 days early and they got their new phone at the discounted rate.  I need to stress here though that just because some people got it, that doesn't mean everyone will get it. It is based on many factors, length of time with Verizon, payment record, type of phone on and going to etc....

  • Looking for early upgrade

    Hi I'm a Meteor bill pay customer since 2000 and am looking for an early upgrade I called into the dundrum branch and was told that meteor may offer and early upgrade if only 4 months remaining on contract I have less than 4 months left on mine

    Hi Tj18,

    I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012.  I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

    It does...  I saw a photo of the relevant slide that was put up during the iOS 6 announcement, but am too lazy to look for it now.
    It's possible it may not have made it into the final release. Apple never made any statements about it as far as I know beyond the slide referenced.
    Near the end of the iOS portion of the keynote, Apple showed a slide listing a host of other features included in the iOS 6 update. Among those were Game Center challenges, the ability to connect Game Center friends from Facebook, VoiceOver improvements, personal dictionary in iCloud (for adding your own terms to the dictionary, which can sync between devices), and per-account signatures in Mail. Also on the list was improved privacy, which—as a new option in Settings—will let you control which apps can access which bits of personal data, like your Contacts, Calendar, or Photos. Other features on the list included autocorrection for every keyboard,Bluetooth MAP support (which is commonly used to help cars better offer hands-free communication with Bluetooth devices), kernel ASLR (which aims to make data even more impervious to snooping from malicious attackers), custom vibrations for alerts, redesigned stores (for the App and iTunes stores), IPv6 support for Wi-Fi and LTE, word highlights for speak selection, improved keyboard layouts, alarms with songs, and faster JavaScript in Safari. Apple also says iOS 6 includes a global HTTP proxy option, which would supplant the current approach, limited as it is to per-connection proxy settings."

  • Downloaded OS 10.10. Was instructed to download iPhone 9.6. After 9.6 was downloaded iPhoto requested to update photo library which it will not do. How do I upgrade the photo library?

    Downloaded OS 10.10. Was instructed to download iPhone 9.6. After 9.6 was downloaded iPhoto requested to update photo library which it will not do. How do I upgrade the photo library?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
    TD

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You would need to ask that directly to Apple. Apple is not here nor does Apple answer questions here.
    To return an iOS product requires a valid receipt. You have 30 days to return an iPhone. The iPhone must have all original packaging & accessories and be in new condition. Apple may charge a restocking fee on a returned iPhone.
    If the iPhone was bought from a 3rd party, their regulations for returns would apply.
