AT&T Moves Up iPhone Upgrade Eligibility On Eve of WWDC Keynote
On the eve of the WWDC 2010 keynote and what is believed to be the announcement of the next generation iPhone, AT&T seems to have adjusted user eligibility requirements forward for many customers. This means that several readers who previously were ineligible to purchase a new subsidized iPhone now find that they are eligible. Previously, dates for eligibility ranged from June to November depending on your rate plan.
Current AT&T customers can check at http://wireless.att.com by clicking on "Check Upgrade Options" after they log in. The improved eligibility requirements will allow existing customers to upgrade to the new iPhone with no early termination fees. Apple is widely expected to introduce the new iPhone at the WWDC 2010 Keynote on Monday, June 7th. The keynote begins at 10 a.m. Pacific.

I was surprised that my eligibility magically moved up considering I purchased a 3GS (at $400, I believe) after losing my 3G that was still under contract. :confused:

My account is now eligible... just in time for the new $375 early cancellation fee.

You know what's a bit weird. I purchased 4 iPhones on a Family Plan last year on the first day of 3GS launch. I looked at my upgrade dates and it shows only one line being eligible and they were all purchased the same date. I wonder why only one line would be eligible and not all?

I checked tonight and my eligibility status was identical to the one in the OP. Does this mean I could upgrade to the new iPhone and only pay $18 in excess of the subsidized cost, so long as I sign on for another 2 years?

What's up with the $18 fee?
$18.00 is the standard Upgrade price for any AT&T line - sometimes waived - most times not.
