Exactly how Apple launched an upgrade program for iPhone owners in September/September, so Samsung plans to introduce a similar gadget at the time of sales launch Galaxy S7. One might say that Samsung is copying, God forbid, but in the end it is a win for customers who will be able to afford a new phone immediately, and in addition, when the new model is released, they will be entitled to a free upgrade with the understanding that the previous model will have to return.
The upgrade program from Apple works on the principle that you will pay for the phone for 24 months, but you will be entitled to a free upgrade after 12 months, that is, sometime around the time of the release of the new generation of the phone. As a result, for example, for 16GB iPhone You pay $6 for the 32,41s for two years, and that amount won't change even after you get your carrier to exchange the 6s for a 7 when it comes out. In addition, the customer is not obliged to use the services of one operator, and if he is not satisfied with it, he can switch to the services of another operator at any time. When Galaxy S7 the program should work very similarly. However, the question remains whether this will reflect on Samsung's attitude towards updating older models after the release of new ones. Samsung's software policy is already quite controversial, and it is not excluded that after the launch of this program, the company will start to increase the priority status of new devices.
