Just talked to an AT&T rep. According to him, I do not need to do anything in advance to take advantage of this trade-in offer. I can just place the order tomorrow morning (I assume I need to do it from AT&T's site, not Apple's) and then when I get the phone, I can still trade in (iPhone 4 or 5 in a working condition) for $200. The offer is good until September 30.

Nice post, but I'm not sure I understood the last part.
Navy.
I believe he's referring to us lefties?
Sorry, showing off my smattering of heraldry from my SCA-days. Sinister = Left, Dexter = Right. As is "Simon Bar Sinister" from the old "Underdog".

I'm the odd rightie in my household as my wife and son are both left-handed. I will wait until my son is older before sharing the history of left-handedness being viewed as evil, or "sinister", and barre sinister being used to denote a illegitimate male descendent.

I will have to wait until March to upgrade as that will be about when I'll be at 60% paid on my current phone with the Verizon Edge plan.

My iPhone 5 32 Gb is worth $225 trade in to verizon. That makes it worth me ordering the iPhone 6 64gb (since there is no longer a 32gb option). $75 net.

I've seen the stream.
I've read the thread.
Here is my opinion:
.
- Apple Pay is probably the best of the show.
Integrating with the banks will put this on the map.
Any jokes about security are pointless ; there will eventually be a breach.
But the same will happen to others.
.
- Apple Watch should sell like hotcakes for fitness fans. How many are there?
Apple Watch should sell like hotcakes at $150! Oops, it's priced at $350!
Removing the watch for daily recharging is just wrong.
Where's my Spiedel Twist O Flex band? ;)

-Apple iPhone 6 is a giant disappointment in screen resolution!
Physical screen size is up to the individual, but it's not much of an increase.
Smaller borders would have been more impressive.

- Apple iPhone 6plus ticks more boxes for people wanting a larger screen, but at what price?
At least they finally got the resolution right. :)

I had been leaning toward a Samsung Note 3, but now the Note 4is here.
Really like the iPhone DNA.
Decisions, decisions. ;)

Disclosure: I've run an iPhone for nearly three years.

I tried the AT&T buy back website to see what my phone would be worth.
Every time I put in my serial number it pops up invalid.

You can order using the apple store app. It can tell you if your eligible for upgrade from your carrier.

I know I am eligible for the upgrade. The question is whether this new trade-in deal applies to direct purchases from Apple.

Both AT&T and Apple Store sites are currently down. Hopefully getting ready for iPhone 6.

Yep. Can't wait to get this ordered so I can get to bed.

My preference is to get it from Apple, but if ATT will give me $200 in credit for my old old 4, I might have to go with them.

It took many retries and almost an hour, but finally the order has been placed!
There was no option for in-store pickup - only shipping to my home address. That's ok.
Time to go to bed. Good luck everyone!

I got two via the app. It was funny it kept saying that the 6 plus gold for AT&T was unavailable, kept changing color and eventually it was in stock.

One processed my credit card the other gave me a confirmation number that the order was placed and that I would get an email later so I could pay for it.
