Apple has removed the option to purchase a new iPhone on a two year AT&T contract from its online store.

This means customers can no longer buy the device at the subsidized price of $199 or $299. Instead Apple is now selling iPhones on AT&T through the AT&T Next financing program.

What is AT&T Next?
With AT&T Next, you can buy iPhone with $0 upfront and trade up to a new one every 12, 18 or 24 months.

AT&T Next gives you the flexibility to choose a 12-, 18- or 24-month trade-in period and get the latest iPhone sooner. If you’re on (or switch to) an AT&T Mobile Share Value plan, you can even save up to $25 per month on your wireless service when you buy a new iPhone using AT&T Next.

Two-year contracts remain available through Verizon and Sprint.

AT&T's service has been disappointing lately. I miss the service quality of Cingular Wireless.

AT&T is the updated Cingular. I remember them from the early 2000s as a kid, never had experience with them but buddy, they alone have been gone for years. If you want something as good as Cingular, tmobile got your back. There are also countless carrier partners to that are decent leading like cricket, boost, metro pcs, trackfone, etc.

From where I live, tmobile never disappoints me. I get great coverage and speed with great customer service. They weren't kidding with uncarrier business, but that's just me! AT&T is greedy and is following every tmobile idea ever mentioned with slow-medium speed and coverage, sprint which tries to make better deals doesn't have lte advantage at slowest lte speed yet to known, and Verizon? Only coverage is their advantage, no speed, little to no customer service, and somewhat good lte speed.

They totally messed up. AT&T next looks like no more launch day buys for me. AT&T is too unreliable when it comes to these phones on launch day....

I think they made a mistake with this decision. It makes me want to consider other options.

Smart! I mean who really wants AT&T anyway? You can't get anything good without paying a heaping price, not to mention constantly being a t-mobile wannabe.
