In a suddenly confusing world of zero percent financing, trade-ins and contracts, The MacJury tries to make some sense of the many ways that one can buy an iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. Do you want to trade in your phone? Is having a new iPhone on launch day important to you? Should you buy from one of the cell carriers or from Apple itself? Do you prefer to sell or hand your phone down? What about data plans and international service? Those are just some of the questions that the panel of Josh Centers, Adam Engst and host Chuck Joiner look at as they give you some things to think about when you go to purchase your next iPhone.
