  "account": "Apple's iPhone Duo officially goes on sale for preorder at AT&T starting October 16th. To kick off the launch, AT&T is offering an aggressive promotion with up to $1,200 in bill credits for both new and existing customers who trade in a qualifying smartphone. If you're switching carriers, you'll also get an additional $800 credit to cover your remaining phone balance from your current provider. To maximize your savings, you'll need to trade in a device with a minimum trade-in value of $230, stay on an eligible unlimited plan, and complete your purchase on a 36-month installment agreement. With the $1,200 discount, your monthly cost for the $1,999 flagship foldable iPhone Duo drops from $55.56 to just $22.23. Keep in mind, you'll still need to pay state sales tax upfront and the $35 device connection fee. The discount is applied as 36 monthly bill credits, and if you cancel, downgrade or switch carriers before the three-year period, the remaining balance becomes due immediately.",
