Or maybe trade in value excludes the contract price, and only takes into account for the un-subsidized prices? (IE: $599, and $699 for the current gen iPhones).
They way I see it, you would still have to extend your contract in order to purchase another brand new phone. So they're giving you back exactly what you paid for the subsidized phone, and offering you the same subsidized price on another phone (minus contract update). In essence, swapping your iPhone, and giving you a different phone in exchange.
By my count that would make the new iPhones still $199, and $299.
Who knows, maybe I'm giving AT&T too much credit. I don't know if they will/would be so courteous to their customers.
