"BTW, I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan, so it would seem that I'd have to buy the iPhone outright, if I'm not mistaken."
Not necessarily. In NY, an ATT rep told me that to keep my Unlimited Data Plan, I'd have to pay the full, unsubsidized price. I didn't bite. Months later, I was in an Apple Store in The Woodlands, TX. There I was told that I could buy the new iPhone5s AND get it at the subsidized price AND keep my basic bargain plan (~$65/month). I did "pull the trigger" on that deal, upgrading from my three+ year old iPhone4.
I'll be on the road again soon. While out west, I'll stop into an Apple Store along the way and play 20 questions. At ATT.com, I see that I am eligible for an upgrade. If I can continue to keep my Unlimited Data, my basic bargain plan AND get an iPhone6+ in 128GB at the subsidized price, I'll "pull the trigger" again.
I'll also take a serious look at the AppleWatch when it comes out next year.
