In an uncommon move, Verizon Wireless (VZ, Tech30) proclaimed Tuesday it might give away one of the phones Apple (AAPL, Tech30) disclosed earlier within the afternoon.The catch? Customers should flip in their recent iPhone and sign a biennial agreement with Verizon.
Carriers typically supply a reduction on phones to customers who sign a contract, and typically supply older versions without charge. however it's rare for a carrier to supply the newest model at no charge. (Verizon, for instance, presently offers the older iPhone 4S without charge and also the newer 5S for $199 once the client signs a contract.)
Those who redeem the iPhone 6 offer can change their recent model and receive a voucher card for $200, that is used to shop for the new phone, priced at $199.
Verizon failed to say for how long the give away would stand.
It will settle for used iPhone models 4, 4S, 5, 5S and 5C, as long as the device still works. Customers can receive the 16GB version of the iPhone 6.
For some, it is a unhealthy deal. The iPhone 5S fetches upwards of $300 on some exchange sites.
While T-Mobile and Sprint are attempting to draw in customers by shifting faraway from biennial contracts, Verizon is projecting with the strategy and gambling that a free iPhone vi is enough to woo new customers.
On Tuesday, Apple conjointly unconcealed a bigger iPhone 6 and, a mobile payments system and a smartwatch.
The new iPhones can become offered Sept. 19.
