Thinking about buying an iPhone 6 once it comes out later this year? Be prepared to figure out brand new purchase plans -- and possibly pay more overall.
Until recently, wireless carriers typically subsidized the price of your device. They would charge you $200 as a down payment, and then locked you into a two-year contract.
That's changing.
Depending which carrier you go with, you'll either pay nothing upfront and face a higher monthly bill. Or you will have to pick up the full cost of around $650, in exchange for a slightly lower bill.
Expect more changes when the iPhone 6 is released. Apple's new smartphone is rumored to be making its debut this August, and it's sure to spark a marketing frenzy.
Should you foot the bill for the entire cost of a new IPhone or get a deal with no money down?
Either way, you'll pay more than you're used to.
