How much are the wireless charging pads. Jen On Nov 25, 2018, at 1:00 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca<mailto:siegh...@live.ca>> wrote:
Well, my main employee/store manager who has the same plan from the same carrier, Koodo Mobil, here in Canada just told me he was about to upgrade his iPhone 6 because they were offering a really good deal on the iPhone 8 64 Gb. I had a look and my wife and I decided this was too good of an opportunity to pass up so we have also ordered our iPhone 8, Gold for y wife and Space Grey as usual for me. For others here in Canada, here is the deal, this is from our perspective as already existing Koodo customers: We pay $150 (Canadian of course) up front Koodo then bills us an extra $15 per month on top of what we pay for our plan for a period of 2 years, i.e. $15 for 24 months = $360. After the 2 years our monthly charge goes back to what we pay now which is $49 for 6Gb of data and unlimited Canada wide calling and texting + regular voice mail, visual voice mail would be $2/month extra. Total cost for the iPhone 8 64Gb after 2 years is $510 Canadian. I just looked in the Apple Store app and if I were to buy an iPhone 8 64Gb directly from Apple it would cost $820 Canadian which means we get it for $310 less. Of course we can sell my wife's 6S 64Gb and my 6S Plus 64Gb, both had new batteries installed by Apple 6 months ago and are cosmetically virtually pristine with glass screen protectors and always in a slim but good protective case. I had a look on eBay and I have seen mostly prices of around $300 Canadian for the 6S and $400 for the 6S Plus, even if we sell for a total of $500 for both phones that means it covers the $300 initial up front payment for the new phones and it leaves at least enough for 6 months of payments out of the 2 years for both of us. This means ultimately the new iPhone 8 will have cost me maybe $250 give or take $10 or $20. One factor why we decided to go for this deal is also that I though while in a year there might be a similarly good deal the value of our 6S and 6S Plus phones would be quite a bit less after another year. I also scored some good deals on some wireless charging pads since apart from the better water proofness of the iPhone 8 the wireless charging is probably the feature I like the most. I could have gotten an iPhone XR for $550 + the $15 a month, a total of $910 after two years, but that isn't as much less as if I had bought one outright and we just didn't feel like spending that much. The iPhone 8 should do us for at least 3 to 4 years now just as our 6S phones did and by then OLED screens, Face Id will be old and established features and who knows, the phones in 3 years may even have Face Id in addition to Touch Id which works wherever you touch the screen.
